The Fujifilm FinePix HS30 EXR is, like it's predecessor, a super-zoom with its own very distinctive character and style. The specifications put it on a par with market-leading models from other manufacturers, but they really only tell part of the stor...
For 2012, Fuji has taken their popular HS20EXR and added some new upgrades to create the FinePix HS30EXR. While the cameras share very similar specifications, the HS30 does offer some new features that you may or may not see as improvements. These incl...
The Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR has a great design and feature set for those who like to do more than leave their camera in auto. It also has several shooting options to improve photo quality for difficult lighting
Getting the best results from the HS30EXR can require a lot of effort and even then its photos might not be good enough for some

30x manual zoom lens. Tilting LCD. Excellent physical controls. High-quality EVF. Raw shooting. Hot shoe.
Big. Noisy JPG images at high ISOs. Slow to start up. No mic input
The 30x Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR is a pleasure to use thanks to a manual zoom lens, Raw support, and a wealth of physical controls, but image quality at higher ISOs is disappointing....
24720mm lens with manual zoom, improved EVF compared to predecessor, external flash compatible, tiltangle LCD screen, liion battery included
Image quality not staggering (same as predecessor), overexposure not uncommon, continuous AF not fast enough for some subjects
The HS30EXR takes the superzoom formula and tweaks it into better shape than its predecessor. The 24-720mm manual zoom not only offers a significant range but the hands-on zoom ring makes it feel more DSLR-like than other superzoom cameras. Add to this...
The Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR super-zoom camera is a rather modest upgrade of its predecessor, but it does address some of the main problems that afflicted the HS20EXR, most notably the incredibly long image processing speeds for RAW files and continuo...
Mechanical ultra wide to super telephoto lens, Stellar dynamic range in EXRDR mode, Low image noise in EXRSN mode, Consistent sharpness except near ultrawide, Low optical distortion, Impervious to chromatic aberrations, Good color response, Fast autofocus
Above average noise at fullresolution, Smudging of details at all ISO settings, Useless ISO 3200 and up, Strong edge softness at ultrawide end of zoom, 1s Movie record delay, Shutter speed limit drops by 1 stop per ISO, Useless livehistogram, Not Exposure
The key is versatility and a mechanical 30X ultra-wide angle optical zoom lens covering 24-720mm more precisely than any of its peers is just the start. A high-speed EXR CMOS sensor capable of capturing 16 megapixels images at 8 FPS and recording 1080p HD...
