Fujifilm Finepix HS10

Fujifilm has come up with a product that will even tempt most professional photographers.

The Fijifilm Finepix HS10 is a semi-professional 10.3 megapixel camera. What is most tempting is it’s incredible 30X optical zoom. ( This translate to lens focal length of 24mm to 720mm) Imagine the number lens you will need to carry with your SLR to achieve this range of focal lengths.

This essentially means that users can easily switch from taking wide angle photos to telephotos.
The camera shoots at a maximum of 10 frames per second and allows motion tracking autofocus.

Aperture size is great at F2.8 to F11 for wide angle shots while it is a decent F5.6 to F11 for telephotos.

Movies can be recorded at Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) with stereo sound recording.
Trial of photos taken with the Finepix HS10 is clear although the edges shows some distortion in photos with less light.

Overall, while fujifilm has been lagging behind Nikon and Cannon for the DSLR cameras, this semi-pro camera is sure to give a good fight especially in value for money and optical zoom category.

So if you are tired of lugging around your heavy DSLR for the holidays, the HS10 is a good consideration.
