Abstract: You all know the deal: the quest for higher numbers to put on stickers on the front of cameras hasn't necessarily resulted in a similarly exponential increase in image quality. If you needed more proof, check out Photography Blog's review of the Fujifilm ...
The Fujifilm F80EXR is a modest upgrade to last year's excellent F70EXR model, most notably adding more megapixels, a larger 3 inch LCD screen, HD movies, and face recognition. While all these new features make the F80EXR one of the best-specced came...
The Fuji Finepix F80EXR is an exceptional camera with the top image quality among fixed lens cameras, ultra-compacts, compacts or even larger ultra-zooms other than its sibling, the F200EXR. Despite using a smaller image sensor which lets it double th...
The Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR is a compact 12Mp camera that offers more features than a standard compact. Its EXR sensor definitely helped while shooting in low light and it has good build quality with an ergonomic design. However, at £137 the camera is...
Handles electronic noise well, Responsive, EXR DR mode noticeably improves dynamic range, as well as noise, 720p HD video
Handling can be complicated, LCD lacks definition, No exposure histogram in shooting or playback modes, Limited battery life
The small but pixel-packed sensor doesn't do justice to the F80 EXR, which handles noise well but won't blow the competitors out of the water. However, the F80 EXR is still an attractive compact with decent performances. It's fast, but sometimes a litt...
Concluding scores hovering between four and five suggest the Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR delivers everything you might want from a compact and a little bit more. Not perfect, but comes enticingly close for its price....
Extended-dynamic-range options; 10x optical zoom; you can use the autofocus and zoom when shooting 720p movies
Odd pixel-level processing artefacts; resolution drop in EXR mode; EXR mode not fully integrated with normal shooting modes
Fujifilm's EXR technology looked fascinating when it first appeared, but it just doesn't seem to have moved on. The FinePix F80EXR boasts a mild resolution increase over the FinePix F70EXR and the purple fringing is gone, but the crossover between the...
Impressive build quality and attractively glossy styling, comprehensive and occasionally innovative feature set including largely successful film simulation and Natural Light modes, good price given the above
Operational noise - particularly the buzz of the optical zoom - picked up when recording video, pronounced pixel fringing between areas of high contrast, slippery surface (though as the gloss looks great, we'll put up with it)
Boasting point and shoot simplicity and yet, if you delve further, broad creative choice, the F80EXR weds a sturdy build and attractive styling to a reasonably sophisticated feature set for a affordable price. Basically the F80EXR is a gamble-free inve...
