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 ...

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......
The photos are great in normal lighting and more than good in low light....... But with higher iso, the noise is distinct........
The 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 ...

I was in a dilemma to buy a DSLR or Bridge Camera due to a need for Nature/Bird Photography but based on my own research, DSLR with Telephoto lenses would have costed a fortune. So the choice narrowed down to Sony HX100V, Panasonic FZ150, Canon SX40IS & Fujifilm HS20EXR. Going by the features offered Fujifilm HS20EXR & Panasonic FZ150 are the only cameras with good manual controls. So after lot of to & fro, I decided to buy Fujifilm HS20EXR.

Its been 2 months now since I have this bridge. But its more than a bridge for me. Was confused btween Sony HX v100, Lumix FZ40 and Coolpix P500, but finally got the best. Others in this range has similar features but this has got manual focus and zoom, which puts HS20 10 steps ahead of others in this range. People who don't wanna go for a DSLR can go for this one without any hickups.The manual zoom and focus will give a dslr xperience for sure.The functions are all of those what a dslr shoul...
