The observant reader may notice that I have a rubber band on the lens barrel. Yes, I do. Without it the lens cap simply falls off. I was going to see if I could buy a replacement cap, but a rubber band works great!
Anyway, the sun is now out so I thought I’d test my S8000fd in the best light to see how she performs. Most of the photos below were shot using the Natural option along with Chrome picture effect. For a couple I used SR Auto.

Part 2 Conclusion
I like this camera. I paid £30 for it which I think is a fair price. It takes nice photos which with that classic CCD look. This is an ideal bridge camera for either a youngster or someone wondering if they’d like to take better photos than they can on their phone. I’ve found that the natural mode along with chrome effect works well for most situations.
