Our quick take

Fujifilm FinePix F800EXR - 3.5 / 5

What’s new?

Big zoom, little body

Performance

Image Quality and EXR mode

To recap

Although it sounds good value, the F800EXR lacks some “must have” features and fails to address long-zoom focus issues of its predecessors. Lens-based image stabilisation lacks and lens flare is an ongoing issue, and while picture quality is reasonable and the EXR mode successful, it’s no better than its F770EXR in this department. Fujifilm needs to iron out the bugs in the system before the F-series can push forward as, for now, competitors continue to advance ahead of this model.
