POSSIBLE NEXT NEW CAMERA: Fujifilm S8000FD

It looks like an SLR, but all you have to do is point it and press the button. The photo button, not the power off button. A common mistake of the amateur photographer, that, and something we do on about one in ten attempts at taking a picture. They really shouldn't put them so close together.

The spec sheets ought to point out how far apart the 'power' and 'take photo' buttons are. Ideally, they'd be on different sides of the unit's body. Maybe Fujifilm could do an S8000FD-PBS edition, where PBS stands for Power Button on Side?



The press release points out that it takes AA batteries. Lovely, beautiful, AA batteries. Has enough time passed for another Battery Week? Our reader numbers have almost recovered back to where they were before the last one.
