Photos From The S8000FD

Just got the camera yesterday and so far it's everything I expected and more. I only wish you could zoom in and out while shooting a movie. These pics are all shot in "Auto" mode, my two friends were shot using "face detection" The Yashica camera pic was shot in "Macro" mode for an ad I'm placing on Ebay The truck was shot without any changes aka default settings.Zoom tryout pics are found on the "Photo from the S700" topic. Hope you enjoy the pics.

I received mine last week. The more I play with it the more i like it.

Were these turkey pics taken with the zoom being used?

Grandson football game. He is no. 13 ready to make a tackle.

Yes I use the zoom on the turkeys. I was about 25 yds away.

Here is the sky. I was just messing around with the landscape. mode

Scroll down until you see three different shots of the same skyline

Another one of a rose bush next door.

Loved the turkey shots travist! Very nice work.

Barry, the S8000fd's macro seems to work just as well as the zoom!
The Yashica shot was crystal clear!
With an 18x zoom any vibration at all will be very noticeable at the telephoto end of its range, in those circumstances I think you're absolutely right in thinking that a tripod would be a good idea! Good luck with the tripod research.
