For photography enthusiasts who feel limited by basic point-and-shoot cameras but aren't quite ready to take on D-SLRs, superzoom cameras, which are easy to use and offer advanced features and some manual modes, can be a happy medium. With its 18X zoom lens, the Fuji FinePix s8100fd is considered a superzoom, but alas, when compared with other models, such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 it comes up a bit short. While its price is in line with that of other superzooms, its image quality and features are mediocre.
