Another New Fuji Camera On My Shelf - F800EXR

I've owned a lot of cameras over the years. Heck, I currently own a lot of cameras. And I use all of them. But more of my many previous cameras have been Fujis than any other brand. As I recall, I've owned:

F10. F11. F30, F31, F40, F47, F50, F70, E550 (5 of them), and E900 (2 of them). I've always been partial to Fuji cameras. I sold my last E550 about 6 months ago and have been Fujiless since then.



Because my wife and I are planning a trip to California and Arizona in February, I thought I would take the opportunity to add a new Fuji with a long zoom and picked the F800EXR. It arrived yesterday and I gave it a test run. Here are the results in a video that runs a little less than 2 minutes.






I am pleased with the results and will be taking it out today when I run around town doing some errands and shopping.

When there are many WiFi signals (as there are in our home) how does the camera select which one to use?


How fast is the WiFi transfer?

Probably won't since I have a USB 3.0 card reader on my computer and should be faster than transferring by WiFi.

Thank you for all that, Edmund!

This looks like a great little camera for taking great color still pictures. But I would not use it for video, based on the initial samples you had shot. I mean, the shutter was a-rolling so bad just by you doing an extremely slow pan, I had never seen something that bad for rolling shutter, skew, jello. Can't Fuji spend just a little attention to video quality in their cameras?

I guess it sums it up that when I called Fujifilm USA a while back to inquire from them abut the X-S1's video capabilities, the immediate response I got was something like "Fujifilm cameras are not intended to be used as video cameras." So, they do video -- just don't bother with it in video mode, I guess. Strange.

But like I said, for still pix Fujifilm rulz!!! Have a nice trip next month w. the F800EXR to California and Arizona -- I am going there myself in March-April.

:-D good for you, i love my F-800, and its a wireless image transfer, it doesnt rely on wi-fi, as long as you have the app installed on your android or Ios device you can up the image directly to your tablet/phone and then up it to the web. I have a samsung galaxy phone and tablet and i can transfer 50 images to the tablet in about 10 minutes via the image transfer. I like it a lot, its a really nice camera, i hope you get a lot of pleasure out of yours.
