Conclusion:
For equipping the bring this camera, you can fully recommend for a MSRP price of 229.00. Despite the small negatives, the small image sensor, and the non-existent viewfinder, the Fujifilm S6800 does not need to hide from other higher-value Bridge cameras. Their strength has in the outdoor segment in connection with the tele mode. Grob is disturbing that when shooting movies, the engine sound of the zoom is incorporated and can be heard clearly in the port. This occurs with other cameras but also. There are a total of four stars for me the camera.

Use Class 10 SDHC card with at least 30 MB / s or better with 45 MB / s to stuttering in Full HD movies and to avoid long storage times in continuous shooting -
- As appropriate camera bag is, for example, the Lowepro Apex 110 AW recommended eg
