## Description

Product Description Fujifilm FinePix HS30 EXR From the Manufacturer The HS30EXR offers versatility and optical quality to those photographers who don't want the lens-changing capability of a DSLR, but still want total control over their images. Equipped with advanced manual control, and a high performance 16MP EXR CMOS sensor, a 3-inch, 460k LCD display, a whopping 30X optical zoom lens, 1080P Full HD Movie Mode, and a host of consumer friendly automatic settings, the HS30EXR is ready for anything - from the simplest full-auto photo capture to the most advanced applications. Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR Highlights 24-720mm Fujinon 30x Optical Zoom and Super Macro Mode The bright, high-precision Fujinon lens boasts a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and an optical zoom range from wide-angle 24mm to 30x telephoto, while a remarkable 1cm Super Macro Mode opens up creative opportunities right under your eyes. Producing exceptional resolution across the image plane, from the center to the edges, this lens also delivers brilliant Fujinon optical quality across the entire zoom range. Manual barrel zoom The wide-angle 24mm to 30x telephoto optical zoom range is controlled by twisting the lens barrel, giving you speedy, intuitive control over magnification power. 60x Intelligent Digital Zoom Controlled by the convenient Function (Fn) button, the Intelligent Digital Zoom offers an astonishing 60x magnification power, the equivalent of a 1440mm* focal length. In addition to magnifying the image, the EXR sensor intelligently minimizes noise in flat areas and sharpens and enhances contrast in edge areas and to create natural clarity and crispness even at super-telephoto magnification. Intelligent Digital Zoom also functions in EXR AUTO mode, to guarantee you exceptional shots with minimal effort. * Equivalent on 35mm camera 1cm Super Macro At a distance of just 1cm, macro photography using the FinePix HS30EXR allows you to capture all the exquisite detail of your subject from really close up. Fujinon Lens: 11-groups / 15-elements Configuration Incorporating 15 elements in 11 groups, including 3 aspherical and one ED lens, all elements in the high-quality Fujinon 30x zoom lens have been treated with Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating) to reduce ghosting, flare, and purple fringe. This high-performance lens produces outstanding resolution with very little color blurring or distortion, resulting in images with superb clarity and color fidelity. By using 3 high-performance aspherical lenses, the FinePix HS30EXR delivers sharp image quality with rich resolution. These lenses also contribute to a more compact overall lens configuration. One ED lens has been employed for their low dispersion and effective reduction of chromatic aberrations. By preventing color fringing and reducing contrast, the FinePix HS30EXR lens captures images with superb accuracy across the zoom range from wide angle to telephoto. Super EBC - Aiming for High Quality Images All the lens elements used in the FinePix HS30EXR have been treated with multilayer Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating), the same process used for Fujinon broadcasting video lenses and large-format camera lenses acclaimed by professionals. Reducing ghosting and lens flare, the treatment promises clear image quality. Image Stabilization (CMOS Shift + High ISO) Long telephoto shots usually suffer from camera shake and subject movement which can ruin photos by producing blurred results. The FinePix HS30EXR's highly effective CMOS-shift and high ISO image stabilization ensures that your shots stay extra-crisp and clear, even at the full 30x zoom. Advanced Anti Blur In EXR AUTO mode, Advanced Anti Blur selects optimum sensitivity and harnesses responsiveness of the BSI EXR CMOS sensor, using Multi Frame technology to layer four consecutive frames shot at high speed into a single, sharp, blur-free image with remarkably low noise, even at telephoto zoom settings. Clear, High-Resolution Fujinon Electronic View Finder Engineered by Fujinon, the bright, incredibly sharp electronic viewfinder boasts enhanced resolution of 920,000 dots and an expanded viewing angle of 22 degrees. Perfect for tracking moving subjects in bright outdoor light, the viewfinder is equipped with an "Eye Sensor" that automatically switches the view from the LCD screen when you hold the camera up to your eye. Electronic Viewfinder with Eye Sensor Put your eye to the EVF and Eye Sensor automatically switches display from the LCD to the highly responsive viewfinder. Electronic Horizon Leveling Gauge When composing a shot in the spacious LCD, the built-in electronic level display makes it easy to align the image with the true horizon. 16-Megapixel BSI EXR CMOS Sensor The 1/2-inch BSI (Back Side Illuminated) EXR CMOS sensor combines an impressive 16 megapixels of high-resolution image quality with exceptionally responsive performance. Fujifilm's proprietary pixel and color filter arrays enhance both vertical and horizontal resolution, the key to 3-way capture technology that ensures the best image quality for every scene. Dynamic range has been expanded to 1600%, achieving a new level of imaging performance. The BSI structure results in improved light reception for a significant boost in sensitivity, with available settings up to ISO 12800 for S size. An optimized signal read-out configuration significantly reduces in-sensor noise, achieving a further significant reduction in signal-to-noise ratio. The CMOS format also achieves higher readout speeds and faster image processing, enabling 8fps high-speed continuous shooting at full 16-megapixel resolution. High Resolution Just as your eyes see even the tiniest of details when looking at something in good light, HR (High Resolution) mode maximizes the full 16 megapixel resolution of the FinePix HS30EXR to reproduce even the smallest details in bright, beautiful color. Wide Dynamic Range Just as your eyes see the full range of shadows to highlights in high-contrast scenes, DR mode simultaneously captures two images to produce a single image with significantly enhanced dynamic range, revealing subtle details in shadow and eliminating washout of bright areas. High Sensitivity & Low Noise Just as your eyes strive to make dark scenes as bright and detailed as possible, SN mode takes advantage of high-sensitivity to capture smooth texture and natural brightness with minimal noise. Stunning Stills in Low Light 30% less noise at ISO3200! The enhanced performance of the new EXR CMOS sensor lets you shoot dark scenes at high ISO sensitivity and capture them brighter, clearer and with less noise than ever before. EXR AUTO With the addition of Motion Detection, Intelligent Scene Recognition technology in EXR Auto mode automatically recognizes and optimizes white balance, focus, exposure and other settings for a total of 103 shooting patterns. In addition to recognizing the shape and color of scenes, the camera also calculates available light and determines whether a person is present, giving you exceptional photos in almost every conceivable situation. Full 1080p HD Movies With the ability to shoot full HD video (1920 x 1080p; 30fps/H.264 High Profile) with impressive stereo sound, the FinePix HS30EXR doubles as a high- performance video camera. Improved continuous auto focus is enhanced by facial recognition, to ensure the people in your movies are in focus and properly exposed. Movie scene recognition optimizes settings to take the guesswork out of movie making. The H.264 (MOV) file format combines high quality video with a small file size, for effortless editing on a PC. HD Movie + EXR High Sensitivity The BSI EXR CMOS sensor maximizes high-sensitivity performance to capture stunning movies, even in challenging lighting conditions. HD Movie + Film Simulation Add atmospheric effects to your movies with a choice of Film Simulation modes, including black & white and sepia. HD Movie + 30x Manual Zoom From 24mm wide-angle to 720mm telephoto, dynamic zoom effects add impact to your movies. In addition to responsive auto focus, a manual focus option lets you fine-tune any scene. HD Movie + HDMI port A built-in HDMI port makes it easy to show movies and photos on your widescreen HDTV (HD cable required; sold separately). EXR Processor Featuring Dual CPUs, an EXR Core, and a reconfigurable processor, the EXR Processor delivers outstanding power and speed, performance that comes into its own in Full HD Movies, high-speed continuous shooting, speedy auto focus and Intelligent Scene Recognition. Start-up is quicker, focusing is faster, and writing time after burst shooting has been significantly reduced. High-Speed Image Search The EXR Processor powers an array of sophisticated high-speed picture search and sorting functions. Vector GUI A Vector Graphics Accelerator is responsible for crisp, highly legible menus and information readouts on the graphic user interface and pleasant viewing on HDTV. High-speed Auto Focus Focusing in as little as 0.16 seconds, high-speed auto focus ensures that every frame is sharp and clear, even when shooting burst sequences. Responsive Start-up and Processing Performance Thanks to the powerful EXR processor, the FinePix HS30EXR wakes in approximately 0.8 seconds in QUICK mode. In addition to quick start-up and faster focusing, waiting time after continuous shooting sequences has been reduced by as much as half compared to conventional models. That means the HS30EXR is ready to go back to work almost immediately. High Speed Continuous Shooting Capture the action at 8 frames per second in full 16-megapixel resolution. At 8-megapixels (M size), burst sequences can be shot at 11 frames per second. Each frame can be viewed as a single shot or the entire burst sequence can be viewed in a separate window. In the case of pictures taken in continuous shooting mode, only the first frame of each series will be displayed. Press the selector down to view the other pictures in the series. High Speed Movie Sometimes things happen too fast for you to see them properly with your own eyes. The FinePix HS30EXR can freeze the action at up to an amazing 320fps! So you can see every single minute detail and watch things happening step by step in slow motion. High Speed Movie can be recorded at the following speeds and sizes: 320fps (320 x 112 pixels), 160fps (320 x 240 pixels), 80fps (VGA 640 x 480 pixels). Best Frame Capture Mode Timing your shot is ever so easy with Best Frame Capture. Half-press the shutter and the FinePix HS30EXR starts recording photos at 11fps at 8 megapixel resolution. When the moment happens, fully press the shutter button and the camera captures up to 16 frames including pre-recorded frames, giving you the opportunity to select the best shot. Film Simulation mode Simulate the distinctive look of Fujifilm color films loved by professional photographers: the natural tones of PROVIA, the distinctive saturation and vibrant colors of Velvia, or the smooth tonality and skin tones of ASTIA. Black & White and Sepia modes can also be selected. Design and Operability Besides its high image quality, HS30EXR's comfortable design ensures excellent usability that enables higher performance. Long-life New Li-ion Battery Capable of capturing 600 frames on a single charge, the long-life Li-ion battery lets you keep on shooting long after most cameras have run out of power.

Three Bracketing FunctionsFilm Simulation Bracketing: One press of the shutter produces three images of PROVIA, Velvia and ASTIA modes. AE Bracketing: Continuous capture of three frames with exposure range of up to ±1.0EV. Dynamic Range Bracketing: One press of the shutter produces three images in a different dynamic range (100%, 200%, 400%). RAW+JPEG Mode In addition to default JPEG file format, the HS30EXR also offers the option of RAW or RAW + JPEG image formats. SILKYPIX viewer and RAW conversion software is included for effortless management and conversion of RAW image data on your PC. Simultaneously record captured images in both RAW format for post-processing on your personal computer and JPEG format for easy distribution. Pro Focus Mode with Face Detection This focus-bracketing mode emulates the gentle, out-of-focus background look of a DSLR when shooting portraits or macro subjects. A single press of the shutter first takes an exposure focused on the main subject, then additional exposures at different focus points*1. This produces a final image emphasizing the sharply focused subject against a soft, out-of-focus background*2. *1 There must be sufficient distance between the subject and the background for this function to work properly. *2 Except for subjects where focus bracketing is unable to produce sufficient defocus. Pro Low-light Mode Ideal for shooting non-moving subjects in low light, this mode automatically takes a series of four high-sensitivity & low-noise exposures and then combines them into an image with less noise than the single exposures. Multiple Exposures Multiple exposure function lets you superimpose two different exposures in a single frame to create artful, one-of-a-kind photos. Motion Panorama 360 - Photo Gallery Quality Just sweep the camera right-left or up-down to shoot giant panoramas up to 360°. When you view the panorama playing back on your camera or personal computer, you can enjoy a seamless panorama image with both ends stitched together to create a "cylinder" view. 3D Mode (Individual Shutter 3D) Two exposures of the same scene are saved in MPO (Multi-Picture Format) to create convincing images that appear to have been shot in real 3D. An overlapping guide on the LCD screen makes it easy to position the exposures, so even a novice can create impressive 3D effects. Fujifilm's proprietary high-resolution 3D print system produces natural, beautiful 3D prints from images captured with the HS30EXR. Face Tracking Auto Focus Face Detection couples with Tracking Auto Focus for new ways of capturing great people pictures, even when those people won't stop moving. Face Detection optimizes focus and exposure to ensure bright, clear faces, while Tracking Auto Focus maintains sharp focus on moving subjects. The result is attractively exposed, well-focused photos. Face Detection Face Detection optimizes people pictures by detecting faces and adjusting focus and exposure to ensure bright, clear results. Red-eye Removal in Detected Faces Red-eye removal automatically detects and corrects flash reflection for a perfect end result. Instantly Detect up to 10 Faces The Face Detection can simultaneously recognizes up to 10 faces in a photo. Share your group portraits using the zoom up function in playbacks, checking each detected face. Each priceless expression can be cropped and saved in clear high resolution results. Face Recognition The FinePix HS30EXR not only detects faces in a frame but it can also recognize who is who! You can register up to 8 people in your camera and next time you take a photo of them it will bring up their name and optimize settings in favor of your registered faces. In playback, you can search for all photos containing registered faces to quickly find photos of your favorites. Auto Release As soon as the Face Detection function detects the face, shutter is automatically released capturing the finest of the person with great optimization. Dog / Cat Detection By incorporating Dog / Cat Detection function, the FinePix HS30EXR is able to detect dog or cat faces*, optimizing focus and exposure for pet photos that will delight everyone. An auto-release function can also be selected to automatically shoot the photo when the pet is looking directly at the camera. * Up to 10 dog or cat faces per photo; cannot detect faces in profile; cannot detect faces in scenes with both dogs and cats.

Review: Fujifilm HS-30 EXR - PREFACE: This review is primarily intended for Point & Shoot types. I do not delve into MANUAL adjustments, nor do I have any interest in that. I want something that will take good pics without undue hassle and is convenient to take on travel. Well, after a fairly long wait for Fujifilm to release the HS-30, mine arrived this afternoon. I charged the li-on battery (no more four AAs) and took it outside to take around ten test shots. They turned out perfectly. I had the HS-10 ... then HS-20 before this latest incarnation, and really liked both cameras. I've no doubts I'll like this one at least, if not more, than the previous HS-20. You can read all the specs, etc., so I won't get into that. Physically, the electronic viewfinder and LCD are sharp, clear, and bright - and I do detect that slight shortening of the flash unit, which protruded a bit annoyingly on the HS-20. Thus, no problem at all focusing with the manual lens (which I love). I also did not detect the lag one experienced between shots with the HS-20. Now, again, I just received the thing and only took some ten shots ... but I was very happy with the shots. Since mine is the first review, it remains to be seen if problems, such as the overheating warning with the past early editions of the HS-20 produced, will come along as others get their cameras and put them to use. I hope to get out there tomorrow and run this thing through its paces. If anything untoward happens, I will certainly advise. The HS-30, like the HS-20, sure beats the heck out of having to stop to change cumbersome lenses for differing shots/scenes! Additionally, it all fits into a nice/compact Case Logic case, no more lugging around all that other "stuff" in backpacks, etc. :-) In closing, my background is strictly amateur photography. I've no aspirations in becoming a pro. The pics I take are for my own enjoyment, and it ends there. Speaking only for myself, I do believe photography should be fun, not a hassle. I've had the Canon 7D and the 60D, with all the "L" lenses, so I do "know my way around the block" a bit. This is not to say I think this bridge camera takes the place of DSLRs for professional use, certainly not. Enjoy your HS-30, and please do post your experiences so we can all benefit. :-) ADDED: March 15, 2012: Took the camera out to my favorite park and ran it through its paces. There was a slight ... slight ... delay between some shots at the park, but no delay when taking pics indoors and other environments. Not a problem for me. I took 52 pictures, and except for two, they were absolutely perfect, and those two were probably my fault. The zoom works fine, no problems. The LCD is also excellent, though I prefer taking my shots via the viewfinder. Lastly: I am a huge fan of POST PROCESSING any pictures I take, be it with a DSLR or the HS-30. I have a MAC and use APERTURE 3, and Aperture 3 makes a notable difference in getting pictures to look the way I want them (that "finishing touch"). If you're using a Windows machine, you might want to look into software packages designed to work with digital pictures. SUMMATION: Realizing this camera is NOT a DSLR, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It felt so nice to walk around the park this morning without lugging along a bag filled with heavy lenses. And the resulting pictures more than satisfy me. ADDED: 3-20: Having had this camera since last week, and having taken a lot of shots with it, I can say I take nothing back: it was worth buying. I am speaking strictly from a Point & Shoot perspective here. If one is looking for all the bells and whistles of a DSLR, then get a DSLR, or you're probably gonna be frustrated. Reiterating: though quite advanced for a P&S, this camera, in the end, is NOT a DSLR. ADDED/CONCLUSION: 5-2-12: I've now had the HS-30 for about 1.5 months and have used it extensively. I even took it on the annual trek to Las Vegas a bit over a week ago, and it performed flawlessly. If anything, I would draw the prospective buyer's attention to ACTION photography. I would NOT expect this to behave like a DSLR in this respect, OK? You CAN get a sequence using CONTINUOUS MODE, but I found using a DSLR in this respect (action shots of moving subjects) much more satisfying. Taking shots of static objects however, this camera has worked excellently. I note the price keeps dropping on what they were asking initially for the camera. I think it's a great bargain if you're in the market for a great Point and Shoot camera.
Review: BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN DSLR AND NON-DSLR - REASONS TO BUY IT: For me it came down to buying a DSLR at the very lowest end, or buying this, which is probably one of the best in its class. Maybe it’s like the difference between being the best college player (this camera) or the worst professional player (low-end DSLR). -This camera is at least $100 cheaper than the cheapest DSLR, but has *almost* as many ways to take a picture. When you throw in the ability to take and edit photos in RAW format, you should expect high quality pictures that you could frame, if you wanted (though, of course, you’ll have to learn to use the camera well, first). -The lens is probably as good as you will find *on a non-dslr camera.* However, like DSLR lenses, it will accept filters (58mm, the same size as the Canon Rebel DSLR series). -Also like a DSLR, you can zoom manually, and even focus manually if you choose, though I find I trust autofocus more than my own adjustments. This is a huge advantage over most other point-and-shoot cameras. -It is just a little smaller than a typical DSLR combo (though larger than most point and shoot units). -The viewfinder is a must for taking pictures outside on sunny days. REASONS NOT TO BUY IT -If you don’t want to learn how to use the various settings, it has way more than you need, and is more expensive than simpler cameras. -If you have the money to buy a *good* DSLR, you’d probably be better off with that. For instance, a good DSLR lens would have lower f/stops than this lens. -If you don’t really want a camera, and you are reading this review for no particular reason. HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO TAKE ANY GIVEN PICTURE This thing has more dials and switches than the flight deck of a Boeing 747. For some, that would negative, for others, positive. There are 32 possible modes, and 90 potential parameters to use. Not every mode can make use of each parameter, but suppose half the parameters are available in each mode (which is probably an accurate average) and you have 1500 different possible different ways to take any given picture. This does not count the incremental aperture, shutter, zoom and focus adjustments you can make in many of the different modes, nor the many different increments of exposure or white balance compensation. In addition, if you shoot in RAW format (one of the huge benefits of this camera) you can make almost unlimited adjustments to your pictures on your computer, after you take them. In the midst of all that, however, there are two modes that are basically fully automatic: EXR Auto, and “just plain” Auto. These are useful for quick shots and establishing baselines, however, if you just want a camera to “point and shoot” this one has way more than you need, and you can find a fully auto camera cheaper. BOTTOM LINE This is a top-of-the-line camera for a non-dslr. The lens has a great range between wide an zoom. The manual adjustments and the ability to use lens filters all make it a great choice for the non-professional enthusiast.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am hearing all sorts of distortion and motorized sounds in my video.  In fact, the camera is constantly making motorized sounds.  Is this normal?  Update, I posted a video  in the review section- please offer feedback.  Thanks**
A: It's normal for cameras with motorized zooms, but the HS30EXR doesn't have one of those. I don't shoot a lot of video with this camera, but as it happens I did last Saturday and got surprisingly good sound. Of course since it happend to be a video of a B-17G revving up it's engines, the sounds were definitely motorized. :)

**Q: "JPEG+RAW" setting gives 2 .raf files, no .jpg. 
[Update] Must choose one format or the other; to get both, have to export paired .rafs to PC, then convert there. 
FastStone and Irfanview (free) are good for conversions, as is supplied Silkypix software. PS E11, despite some clunkiness, works fine with .raf RAW.**
A: That's strange... I just did it with my camera, and selected the option "RAW+JPEG" from the RAW menu (under SET), and when I checked in the camera, I had a pair of files with the same name but different extensions (one JPG and one RAF). Now, opening the RAF files is a different matter, since I use Linux...-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users   924191 Mar 29 15:40 DSCF2334.JPG-rw-r--r-- 1 daniel users 25437456 Mar 29 15:40 DSCF2334.RAF

**Q: Does this one come with the Lens Hood like advertised by Fuji?**
A: The package include the lens cap and a lens hood. You can see the lens hood in the following link: http://techmgc.com/news/news/fujifilm-hs30-exr30hs33exr-camera-launched-in-india-price-26799/

**Q: This camera seems to have so many functions.  Can you send it out by itself to take pictures in bad weather or do I need to wait for the next model?**
A: While in inclement weather it won't go out by itself, it does everything else.  I think in anything technical, waiting for the next thing out does not always mean better but sometimes  more complicated.  I am having a great time with this camera and I am always surprised and pleased with all the different functions.  I use the manual settings equally. It offers me all the different magnifications in one package. I am very pleased with my pictures and their clarity. PS Overcast weather is perfect for photos. If I miss a shot it is because I wasn't prepared with the proper setting. My bad..not the camera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fujifilm HS-30 EXR
*by S***) on March 14, 2012*

PREFACE: This review is primarily intended for Point & Shoot types. I do not delve into MANUAL adjustments, nor do I have any interest in that. I want something that will take good pics without undue hassle and is convenient to take on travel. Well, after a fairly long wait for Fujifilm to release the HS-30, mine arrived this afternoon. I charged the li-on battery (no more four AAs) and took it outside to take around ten test shots. They turned out perfectly. I had the HS-10 ... then HS-20 before this latest incarnation, and really liked both cameras. I've no doubts I'll like this one at least, if not more, than the previous HS-20. You can read all the specs, etc., so I won't get into that. Physically, the electronic viewfinder and LCD are sharp, clear, and bright - and I do detect that slight shortening of the flash unit, which protruded a bit annoyingly on the HS-20. Thus, no problem at all focusing with the manual lens (which I love). I also did not detect the lag one experienced between shots with the HS-20. Now, again, I just received the thing and only took some ten shots ... but I was very happy with the shots. Since mine is the first review, it remains to be seen if problems, such as the overheating warning with the past early editions of the HS-20 produced, will come along as others get their cameras and put them to use. I hope to get out there tomorrow and run this thing through its paces. If anything untoward happens, I will certainly advise. The HS-30, like the HS-20, sure beats the heck out of having to stop to change cumbersome lenses for differing shots/scenes! Additionally, it all fits into a nice/compact Case Logic case, no more lugging around all that other "stuff" in backpacks, etc. :-) In closing, my background is strictly amateur photography. I've no aspirations in becoming a pro. The pics I take are for my own enjoyment, and it ends there. Speaking only for myself, I do believe photography should be fun, not a hassle. I've had the Canon 7D and the 60D, with all the "L" lenses, so I do "know my way around the block" a bit. This is not to say I think this bridge camera takes the place of DSLRs for professional use, certainly not. Enjoy your HS-30, and please do post your experiences so we can all benefit. :-) ADDED: March 15, 2012: Took the camera out to my favorite park and ran it through its paces. There was a slight ... slight ... delay between some shots at the park, but no delay when taking pics indoors and other environments. Not a problem for me. I took 52 pictures, and except for two, they were absolutely perfect, and those two were probably my fault. The zoom works fine, no problems. The LCD is also excellent, though I prefer taking my shots via the viewfinder. Lastly: I am a huge fan of POST PROCESSING any pictures I take, be it with a DSLR or the HS-30. I have a MAC and use APERTURE 3, and Aperture 3 makes a notable difference in getting pictures to look the way I want them (that "finishing touch"). If you're using a Windows machine, you might want to look into software packages designed to work with digital pictures. SUMMATION: Realizing this camera is NOT a DSLR, I would buy it again in a heartbeat. It felt so nice to walk around the park this morning without lugging along a bag filled with heavy lenses. And the resulting pictures more than satisfy me. ADDED: 3-20: Having had this camera since last week, and having taken a lot of shots with it, I can say I take nothing back: it was worth buying. I am speaking strictly from a Point & Shoot perspective here. If one is looking for all the bells and whistles of a DSLR, then get a DSLR, or you're probably gonna be frustrated. Reiterating: though quite advanced for a P&S, this camera, in the end, is NOT a DSLR. ADDED/CONCLUSION: 5-2-12: I've now had the HS-30 for about 1.5 months and have used it extensively. I even took it on the annual trek to Las Vegas a bit over a week ago, and it performed flawlessly. If anything, I would draw the prospective buyer's attention to ACTION photography. I would NOT expect this to behave like a DSLR in this respect, OK? You CAN get a sequence using CONTINUOUS MODE, but I found using a DSLR in this respect (action shots of moving subjects) much more satisfying. Taking shots of static objects however, this camera has worked excellently. I note the price keeps dropping on what they were asking initially for the camera. I think it's a great bargain if you're in the market for a great Point and Shoot camera.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN DSLR AND NON-DSLR
*by R***M on October 24, 2014*

REASONS TO BUY IT: For me it came down to buying a DSLR at the very lowest end, or buying this, which is probably one of the best in its class. Maybe it’s like the difference between being the best college player (this camera) or the worst professional player (low-end DSLR). -This camera is at least $100 cheaper than the cheapest DSLR, but has *almost* as many ways to take a picture. When you throw in the ability to take and edit photos in RAW format, you should expect high quality pictures that you could frame, if you wanted (though, of course, you’ll have to learn to use the camera well, first). -The lens is probably as good as you will find *on a non-dslr camera.* However, like DSLR lenses, it will accept filters (58mm, the same size as the Canon Rebel DSLR series). -Also like a DSLR, you can zoom manually, and even focus manually if you choose, though I find I trust autofocus more than my own adjustments. This is a huge advantage over most other point-and-shoot cameras. -It is just a little smaller than a typical DSLR combo (though larger than most point and shoot units). -The viewfinder is a must for taking pictures outside on sunny days. REASONS NOT TO BUY IT -If you don’t want to learn how to use the various settings, it has way more than you need, and is more expensive than simpler cameras. -If you have the money to buy a *good* DSLR, you’d probably be better off with that. For instance, a good DSLR lens would have lower f/stops than this lens. -If you don’t really want a camera, and you are reading this review for no particular reason. HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO TAKE ANY GIVEN PICTURE This thing has more dials and switches than the flight deck of a Boeing 747. For some, that would negative, for others, positive. There are 32 possible modes, and 90 potential parameters to use. Not every mode can make use of each parameter, but suppose half the parameters are available in each mode (which is probably an accurate average) and you have 1500 different possible different ways to take any given picture. This does not count the incremental aperture, shutter, zoom and focus adjustments you can make in many of the different modes, nor the many different increments of exposure or white balance compensation. In addition, if you shoot in RAW format (one of the huge benefits of this camera) you can make almost unlimited adjustments to your pictures on your computer, after you take them. In the midst of all that, however, there are two modes that are basically fully automatic: EXR Auto, and “just plain” Auto. These are useful for quick shots and establishing baselines, however, if you just want a camera to “point and shoot” this one has way more than you need, and you can find a fully auto camera cheaper. BOTTOM LINE This is a top-of-the-line camera for a non-dslr. The lens has a great range between wide an zoom. The manual adjustments and the ability to use lens filters all make it a great choice for the non-professional enthusiast.
