Review on Fujifilm FinePix S8200 16.2MP Black Digital Camera with 3-Inch LCD Screen (OLD MODEL) by Katie Miller

I like its camera for the price. This camera is perfect for amateur photographers. This is not for the experienced photographer. If this purchase is a family camera, anyone can use this camera. Advanced shooter than aim and shoot with manual settings for advanced aim and shoot features. You must read the manual play with the settings for taking pictures to get familiar with this camera. The way you change the ISO settings in-camera for a given shot makes for great shots. My husband doesn't take photos and I can put him on auto and he can take great pictures with him. I'm more advanced than the aim and shoot photographer when it comes to enjoying photos of the places I visit. I love this camera for the size, it's not bulky or heavy. Fits well in small hands. The best thing I like is the great zoom options and the lack of camera lenses to carry around. This camera has a setting that you can set for 3 different types of batteries that you can use in this camera. You can use an expensive photo battery, 4 lithium batteries or 4 alkaline batteries in this camera. The cheapest and most accessible batteries I've found that last a long time are the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries in this camera. If you set your camera's battery type, the camera will have excellent battery life. Most cameras I've seen don't have this feature and battery consumption is a very important camera feature. That's why I chose this camera over the Cannon based on the battery life reviews. This camera has excellent battery life ratings. I am very satisfied with this camera and do not regret the purchase. To get the best picture quality from this camera, you need to take pictures and play with the camera to find out what it can do. You will not be happy if you only use the basic functions to get the best potential and great shots from this camera. It took me several times to find the optimal exposure, shutter, etc. settings on the camera to my liking. Make sure you play with the camera and you will be a great photographer and be happy with this camera and what it can do in an all in one compact. Be sure to fill out your Fugi registration card to receive excellent warranty service. Finally, this camera does not support WiFi upload to Facebook. Which you might as well do by uploading to your dedicated website using a USB card reader to easily transfer photos to your dedicated hard drive or a dedicated online storage of your photos. Why do you need a dedicated Wi-Fi camera when most people have cell phones for that? Better security when you have more control over how you upload your photos. I'd rather spend less money on a camera that takes great photos than pay for a Wi-Fi enabled feature. The simpler the better for a camera that takes great pictures. One thing about this camera, it would be bad for the beach if there was sand in it. Buying a small, affordable water camera for beach photography is highly recommended.
