Fujifilm FinePix HS10 Conclusions

By Howard Creech , DigitalCameraReview Staff | | 97725 Reads

CONCLUSIONS
Up to the point where FedEx delivered the HS10, the Canon SX10 IS was my favorite long zoom digicam. Having now spent some quality time with Fuji 's newest ultrazoom, that's no longer the case. Budget and space constrained photo enthusiasts looking for a point-and-shoot that competently substitutes for a DSLR and a bag of lenses could do much worse than the HS10.

The HS10 presents a couple of frustrating missed opportunities in the design process, and it's a poor choice for those who like to shoot primarily action or video. For just about everyone else (in my opinion) this camera stands above most of its competition.

Pros:

Versatile
30x zoom
Excellent image quality
Very good feature set

Cons:

Low resolution LCD
Expensive
One-touch video button not instant-on
