About this model
The Fujifilm FinePix S4800 is an affordable bridge camera built around a long 30x optical zoom, giving far more reach than a phone or compact for wildlife, sport and travel. Its 16-megapixel CCD sensor and Fujinon lens cover a very wide focal range, from wide-angle landscapes to tightly framed distant subjects, with optical image stabilisation helping to keep handheld shots steady at full zoom. A 3-inch LCD and electronic viewfinder handle framing, and the camera runs on widely available AA batteries, so you can carry spares rather than hunt for a charger. It is a straightforward, easy-to-use option for anyone wanting a long zoom without the cost of a DSLR system.
