Fujifilm FinePix HS20EXR/HS22EXR

$449.00 Released January, 2011

The Pros:Full HD support - 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second. Large 30x zoom, equivalent to a 24-720mm - makes it easy to get in as close as necessary when taking photos. HDMI output - great for high-def photo slide shows and watching recorded 1080p video.

The Cons:Dont fit in any normal cases. Body size - larger than competing high-end point and shoots. Uses 4x AA batteries - lacks a dedicated rechargeable battery.

Fujifilm's FinePix HS20EXR/HS22EXR is a bridge camera that stops short of being a full DSLR while using an SLR-style body. it is a high-end point-and-shoot with full manual controls and priority modes, and includes a telephoto lens that ranges from 24 - 720mm, for about 30x magnification.

Fujifilm Finepix HS20EXR Black Digital Camera by PriceGrabber.com

It uses Fujifilm's new CMOS EXR sensor, which improves contrast range and color fidelity, and is also very sensitive to different scene conditions. The flash detects scene settings and attempts to reduce washout, and there are a variety of shooting convenience features like multiple frames per second, auto release on face recognition, and a continuous mode that allows selection of the best shot to be saved. This camera uses CMOS shift image stabilization, and has a high sensitivity to reduce blurring at long zooms or in low light. Images can be viewed, organized, and searched on the camera with an integrated library assistant.
