FinePix HS20 EXR

Verdict: A really good superzoom, but would be better if it had a lower price.
For: 30x super zoom with IS works like a charm, 3-inch flip out screen, very sturdy.
Against: Uses AA batteries, focusing issues while video recording.



Those into wildlife photography or landscapes
are spoilt for choice with the number of
super zooms entering the market. These
cameras may definitely not be a replacement for
DSLRs, but can surely provide consumers with
ample features for taking these sort of pictures.
Fujifilm launched the FinePix HS10, a superzoom
camera not too long back and it performed well.
The company has now launched the FinePix HS20
EXR, an updated version of the HS10, which comes
with features such as a 30x optical zoom, and 16
megapixel EXR CMOS sensor, amongst others.



Design and Build Quality
The Fujifilm FinePix HS20 EXR looks a lot like the
HS10. The design of the HS10 was received well
and Fujifilm has stuck to it while manufacturing the
HS20. Like the HS10, this camera too has the bridge
camera design. It has a matte black finish and is
made of plastic with rubber pads  
on the hand grip and a patch
on the rear that assists in
the handling of this
large camera.
The first thing
that one notices
when they see
this camera is the
large lens that
occupies the front.
The lens too has a
rubberized padding
on the telephoto
ring, which helps in the
