Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR

The Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR ($499.95 direct) is a large superzoom with an impressive, albeit slightly soft, 30x zoom lens. The 16-megapixel camera is about the same size as a compact D-SLR, and is styled in the same manner, right down to a manual zoom control and focus ring. It's got a very nice electronic viewfinder, is responsive when shooting, and generally just feels like a well-built camera. Unfortunately, the images it produces at higher sensitivity settings are disappointing. If these photos were better, the HS30EXR would be a shoo-in for our Editors' Choice award, but as it stands, it can't oust the Nikon Coolpix P510 ($429.95, 4 stars) as our favorite full-size superzoom camera. Design and Features The HS30EXR not only looks like a D-SLR, it also handles like one. It's bigger than other cameras in its class, but uses the extra size to incorporate a good number of physical controls and a manual zoom lens. Measuring 3.8 by 5.1 by 4.9 inches (HWD), it's noticeably larger than the 3.2-by-4.9-by-3.7-inch Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 ($499.99, 3.5 stars). The Fuji weighs in at about 1.5 pounds, so it is a bit heavier than the 1.2-pound Panasonic as well.

Fujifilm Finepix HS30EXR review

Fujifilm's HS30EXR superzoom takes the concept of last year's HS20 and brings it up to date with some subtle, but important new features. Although the 16MP-sensor superzoom may have most of the same ingredients as its predecessor, does it have what it takes to correct for the HS20's shortcomings? The What Digital Camera Fujifilm Finepix HS30EXR review takes a look...A superzoom wouldn't be so called if it didn't have a significant zoom on offer. The HS30's 24-720mm f/2.8-5.6 (equivalent) lens has that more than covered. But not only can this optic make far-away subjects fill the frame, it's also go a 1cm-from-subject Super Macro mode when shooting at the widest-angle 24mm setting. Fujifilm Finepix HS30EXR review sample image - click for full size gallery A 3in, 460k-dot LCD screen is mounted on a tilt-angle bracket and is complemented by an electronic viewfinder (EVF). But here's the first big news: the EVF is both larger and higher resolution than its predecessor. An integral step in making the camera more user friendly. Behind the scenes and the Fuji HS30 utilises the same 16-megapixel, back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor with EXR processing and sensor-shift image stabilisation technology as found in the HS20 model.

Fujifilm FinePix HS30 EXR review

If you were tempted by the five star-rated Fujifilm X-S1 and haven't yet indulged yourself, hang tight for the next 1,200 words. The Fujifilm FinePix HS30 EXR outguns the X-S1 in several respects, with a higher resolution and 30x zoom. Compare it with a regular 35mm film camera, and the glass in this device delivers the same effect as a 24-720mm lens. Not only would that be heavy and bulky on a regular dSLR, it would also be prohibitively expensive, but the HS30 EXR delivers it in a small, light body for around £380. The question is whether this makes it not only different, but better than its chunkier sibling. So what's it like to use? In a word, lovely. The controls move freely, with little resistance, but snap neatly into place so you don't sweep past the settings you want. There's a fine balance to be struck between dials so rigid they're uncomfortable, and so lacking resistance they're easy to knock unintentionally. On the HS30 EXR, Fujifilm has got it spot on. The FinePix HS30 EXR is very well built, with comfortable, well-balanced controls (click image to enlarge). Indeed, my only complaint in respect of its build is the siting of the focus ring, which sits behind the zoom control cuff, a little too close to the body for comfort.

Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR

Not content to merely flood the market with pocket cameras, Fujifilm has expanded their SKU-bombing strategy into the full-size superzoom segment. The HS30EXR is one of—count 'em—six brand-new, bridge-style cameras that Fujifilm plans to release in North America in 2012. Whereas last year's HS20EXR sat atop Fuji's superzoom lineup, the HS30EXR is the lesser of the two enthusiast-baiting bridge cams offering RAW capture. It falls beneath the premium X-S1 model, which we previewed last week. We spent some time with the HS30EXR on the showroom floor at CES 2012. Honestly, the HS30EXR hasn't changed much at all from its predecessor. But with the truly high-end X-S1 in the mix, its place in the market isn't as clear, so we decided to give it a fresh preview, mainly as a way to compare it to its bigger, more powerful cousin. It might help to open up the X-S1 preview in a separate tab, and read our first impressions side-by-side. The HS30EXR looks like a typical bridge camera—a small DSLR, basically. It has a big body coated in black rubber, a large lens, lots of buttons and dials for a serious appearance, and a large grip for handling. It’s almost identical to last year’s HS20EXR; the only immediately notable difference is a roomier footprint for the new, more powerful pop-up flash.
