Fuji FinePix S8100fd Review
Fujifilm announced the launch of the long zoom, SLR-styled FinePix S8100fd digital camera, which combines user-friendliness with long-zoom versatility and high speed shooting modes that are rarely found in non-professional models. Continuing on the success of the Fuji FinePix S8100fd, the 10 Megapixel Fuji FinePix S8100fd integrates a Fujinon 18x wide angle optical zoom fixed lens, letting the user achieve greater range than ever before and offers everything from true wide angle to extreme telephoto in a single compact unit. The sealed, fixed-lens system prevents dust contamination and eliminates the need for additional zoom or wide angle lenses, making it an easy-to-use, affordable alternative to the complex D-SLR system.
The Fujifilm S8100fd’s 18x zoom lens (27mm-486mm equivalent) – first seen on the FinePix S8100fd - is ready for every possible photographic challenge, from landscapes and interiors to wildlife and sports action. The wide angle is perfect for large group shots and sweeping holiday landscapes; the long telephoto lens is capable of picking out a single face on a distant stage or playing field, offering an unparalleled range of creative opportunities without the need for add-on lenses or adapters.
A new Instant Zoom function captures moving subjects at high zoom settings. After zooming on a subject, a single button gives an additional 1.4x or 2x digital zoom at the centre focus region of the frame. Zoom Bracketing performs a similar action using Fujifilm’s Face Detection Technology to lock its zoom action on a subject’s face automatically as it enters the shot.
The Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd features Fujifilm’s Dual Image Stabilisation combining mechanical sensor shift stabilisation with Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilisation Technology, which uses fast shutter speeds and ISO levels of up to ISO 6400 (at 5 Megapixels) for total anti-blur protection. As a result the FinePix S8100fd produces sharp, blur-free photographs even in low light conditions.

How is this a review. You just state the specs of the camera. A review would be including information on how it actually preforms. Like actually using the camera and including the results along with the sample images.
