Fuji FinePix HS10 Digital Camera Review

The Fujifim FinePix HS10 is a powerful camera with an incredible 30x zoom lens that would be a good pick for a shooter who wants a flexible camera without carrying a lot of kit around. We found that the HS10 captured accurate color with spot-on saturation. Many cameras compensate for poor color accuracy by oversaturating colors to make them look more vivid, but the HS10 captured clean, accurate color and didn't oversaturate the resulting images. The only problems that we found was that some of the reds and yellows were a little inaccurate: they were a little darker and gloomier than the origionals on our chart. Of the various color modes that this camera offers, the standard color mode is the most accurate, but the Finepix Chrome mode is interesting: it attempts to mimic the bright, vivid colors of Fujis own Fujichrome slide film by oversaturating the colors (to about 119 per cent saturation). The HS10 uses a 10.3-megapixle back side illuminated sensor that the company claims produces images with low noise, and our tests seem to confirm this: we foudn that the images it captures have low noise across the extensive ISO range that the camera offers. In particular, the images shot at the lower ISO settings had a clean, sharp look to them.

Fujifilm FinePix HS10

There are some out there who may have thought the all-in-one superzoom cameras like the Fujifilm HS10 would have gone away by now. Indeed, as prices of digital SLRs have continued to come down, and smaller, compact point-and-shoots have been fitted with bigger built-in zooms, the era of the "chunky" bridge camera would seem to be on the wane. Unless, of course, your name is Fujifilm, a company which continues to offer compelling reasons why this category of camera is still alive and well. Fuji's latest offering is the 10.3-megapixel FinePix HS10, a Swiss-Army-knife of a camera with a whopping 30x (24-720mm equivalent) optical twist-barrel manual zoom lens. Though it retails for a relatively spendy $500, the Fujifilm HS10 is packed with features including a back-side illuminated CMOS image sensor. If you are unfamiliar with back-side illuminated (BSI) sensors, they're designed with circuitry on the side of the chip not used for absorbing light. This, ostensibly, gives the pixels more room on the light sensitive side to collect light. The jury is still out on how effective this technology is for low-light shooting but more and more cameras contain BSI chips these days including, notably, the 5MP imager in the new iPhone 4.

Product Survey: Bridge Digital Cameras

For bridge cameras, the trend these days seems to be for ultra-compact designs with few or no manual controls, like the Olympus SP-800 UZ, another bridge with a 30x zoom. Fujifilm, however, is refusing to turn its back on the expert bridge, packing this new model with all kinds of buttons, dials and manual settings. The Finepix HS10 is therefore one of the rare bridge cameras to actually handle like an SLR, but will it have what it takes to win over advanced users? Fuji has had its expert bridge cameras on a strict diet, as the HS10 has shed almost 200 g since the S200EXR. Compared with the latest generation of big-sensor, micro-bridge cameras like Sony's NEX-5 (weighing under 500 g when loaded with its kit zoom lens), the HS10 still feels big and heavy. However, it's a camera that's well designed and well made, and it's easy to grip onto thanks to the deep handle and its textured surface. The on/off switch, shutter-release button, selection wheels for modes and settings, and the SD card compartment are all spot on, and the dials make a reassuringly loud 'click' noise each time you turn them round a notch (not that that makes them difficult to adjust).

Fuji HS10 review

Long before budget DSLRs, Fuji led the way with the bridge camera. As DSLRs have become cheaper and compacts cleverer, however, there has been an obvious squeeze on this area of the market and the bridge camera has had to offer more for the user.The HS10 is considerably lighter and cheaper than its DSLR and lens equivalent, and is still relatively compact, making it easy to carry with you. While a DSLR gives you various lens possibilities, cameras such as the HS10 provide a single lens solution, without the worry of getting dust inside the body. So on paper, at least, there are many reasons to choose it. But how does the camera hold up? The HS10 features a new 10.3 MP 1/2.3in CMOS sensor, with Back Side Illumination (BSI) to provide better low-light performance. One surprise is that this isn't one of Fuji's EXR-type sensors as seen in its recent models, however sensor illumination has certainly been shown to be effective in other brands. The size of the sensor is also more in line with compacts, although a full APS-C size would have been nice. For low light, the ISO offers a range from 100-6400, and combined with the sensor-shift stabilisation and digital processing, boasts shooting capabilities in almost any situation.

Fuji FinePix HS10 First Impressions Review

The FinePix HS10 is a powerhouse camera with a 30x zoom lens with an incredible focal length range of 24mm to 720mm. It also has a number of new features, such as the enhanced low light mode, panorama shooting and high speed still and video shooting. The downside of this big lens is that it's a big, bulky camera that needs two hands to hold and use. The question is if this bulk is worth the extra features it offers, and the sizable $500 cost of the camera. You'll be able to find out for yourself in April when it comes out, and keep an eye out for our full review. The front of the HS10 is dominated by the huge 30x zoom lens. Above this you can see the housing for the internal flash, and to the left of this is the hand grip. The HS10 has an electronic viewfinder, which is located above the LCD screen. To the left of the viewfinder is a small sensor that detects your approaching face, and switches the display from the LCD screen to the viewfinder. The viewfinder itself is bright and mostly clear, although the images do look less sharp than the LCD screen.
