Fujifilm FinePix S8400W Bridge Camera

Fujifilm is proud to announce the FinePix S8400W long zoom bridge camera with Wi-Fi®. The new FinePix S8400W has a whole host of features to offer, including its huge 44x optical zoom, BSI-CMOS sensor, fast 0.3 second auto-focus speed and Full HD movie recording, which when combined with its Wi-Fi connectivity, make the S8400W stand out from the pack.

Highly regarded for their high precision Fujinon zoom lenses, ease-of-use and compact design, Fujifilm’s bridge cameras are an excellent choice for any keen photographer looking for a step-up in their camera kit.

The S8400W's wireless feature lets you transfer photos and movies from the FinePix S8400W to smartphones, tablets, and computers.

The new S8400W features a 44x optical zoom (24-1056mm), fast apertures of f/2.9 to f/6.5, and powerful OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) for excellent blur reduction resulting in crisp, clear photos.

Renowned for their superb clarity, the Fujinon lenses used in this camera feature 17 elements in 12 groups, and combine aspherical and ED elements which help to reduce aberrations and promote a superior level of image quality. Additionally this camera features a Super Macro mode enabling you to get as close as 1cm from your subject, bringing great close-up shots to life.

With its 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor, the S8400W captures excellent quality low noise shots at sensitivities as high as ISO 12800.

The FinePix S8400W comes with a built-in Electronic viewfinder (EVF). This makes it easy to frame subjects, and makes checking focus and white balance in bright daylight conditions a breeze.
