Fujifilm FinePix HS20EXR Bridge Camera

I was damn confused between the Fuji HS20, the Canon SX30IS, Sony HX100V, and the Nikon Coolpix P500. So u can clearly see I wanted a bridge cam and not a DSLR. I checked reviews online for say 7 hours, and then finally decided to buy upon the Fuji HS20. The reason mainly is the host of features you get on this cam, really comparable to a DSLR. None of the competition had this much amount of manual control in the photographer's hands. I am a hobbyist photographer, and click mainly nature and wildlife. If at all you think of upgrading from a digicam to a bridge, go for it without any second thoughts. It is simply the best your money can get. there's a dark side too, though, its a little heavy. heavier than all its competition owing to the full manual barrel operated zoom lens. the EXR sensor works wonders. the picture quality is amazing, the videos are quite decent at full HD, and theres also a high speed video mode. so its a full most wanted minda package. GO FOR IT!!nnIt works on alkaline or NiMH AA size batteries, so running out of power is a thing of the past. The CMOS sensor also does justice while clicking RAW Pictures.nnA MUST BUY..!!

After using the camera for more than a month, i am in a very good position to summarize that it is a very good product by fuji..... Lately they are making some very good cameras like the x-series...... nThe photos are great in normal lighting and more than good in low light....... But with higher iso, the noise is distinct........nThe zoom range is more than you can handle handheld....... But you miss the digital zoom while shooting the moon...... This issue is solved with their new hs30(not yet released, maybe in another 3/4 months)........nThe manual focus ring is ok...... But nothing close to a dslr......... But i think the autofocus handles 95% of the situations, so no need to bother..........nThe camera is what a suv to the cars....... Handles all the situations but drains the battery, specially in exr mode...... Wise to keep a spare set of batteries.........nOne thing i dont like it that it doesnt have sleep function....... Its either on or off...... That also drains the battery..... Yes, you can use the evf instead of the display and switch the display off..........nAfter buying books, this is the costliest thing i got from flipkart....... And it is spot on again..... But flipkart.... Why the price rise lately.......the gap between the price in retail and in flipkart is closing........... Planning to buy a ps2, but the price is similar to the price qouted in sony official site......... Do something flipkart, we like you a lot and your special price here...................
