FujiFilm F80EXR Lens information

The F80EXR includes a built in lens giving a focal range of 27-270mm giving it a 10.0 x zoom which might not be huge but it will surely be valuable in some circumstances.

At it's widest 27mm, the lens features an aperture of f3.3 and that's kind of sluggish and not the best for low light occasions and you will likely find it hard to get a shallow depth of field. You will probably also have to increase your ISO setting causing noisy photos. With the long end, 270mm is exceptional zoom and comes with f5.6 making it fairly sluggish and you might have to utilize slower shutter speeds.
