just got the camera from flipkart. As usual good service.
First thing that striked me about the camera is the good finish, the amazing manual zoom and the sheer DSLR like size. the camera is definately on the bigger side of bridge cameras. it definately felt like a DSLR in my hand. but the weight is not that much.
initial pics specially in low light were more than satisfactory. i havent yet explored the complete photographic capabilities of the camera. i will update about the same later.

I bought this cam a few days back, and I've been waiting to write this review. I bought it from a store and at a very less price than flipkart.

To begin with, honestly I'm an amateur photographer, still on the way of learning a lot of things.
I love these background blurring effects and I primarily wanted a camera, which can perform such tasks.

In this case, the HS25 has disappointed me a little, I wanted original background defocusing(through lens). Although its Pro-focus mode(digitally al...

Thumbs Up for this great product..!!! This gives me a feel of DSLR when I hold it with my two hands. Great Grip and very stable during shooting because of its comparative heavy weight.
Pros:
1. Great Zoom
2. Full Manual Control. U can get a clear and perfect shot if you know the correct setting and if you have patience for photography.
3. Lots of advanced options..
4. Real low price
5. Best for serious photography...

I captured many pics even at 30X zoom without tripod, very clear picture c...

If you want to have a camera with all features of DSLR, but in less price, this proves to be one. Honestly, I have tried many cameras at 20K price tag. Could not find one with DSLR feel in hand and deliver outstanding pics. Nikon is good at producing cameras above 30K, so is the case with Canon. All cameras of Nikon and Canon below 20K does not produce good quality pictures or lack features. Many of us in India think Fuji to be a cheap brand, but forget the fact that they were the leading pho...

Camera is excellent ....tha way fuji gave pleasure is fabulous. Features is also good . If you are not handy with Fuji before it will take time to understand camera features . But you once to used to it it will give you satisfaction

The camera is very good with manual zoom and easily reachable controls. Effects are also very good and the provision for fitting additional filters is very good. Buy it before you invest in a DSLR camera.
More about the picture quality and camera experience little later after using it.... so keep watching this review.

its damn good for beginner photographer who dont want to jump to dslr but want start improving skills. zoom function hats off (only in exr,auto mode) once you switch to manual focus(background blur experiments) camera starts sucking. highly instable in focusing moving objects . everything is good . manual focus not great, but it will work good with very stable hand or basic tripod . good for casual photographs and nature photography due to amazing zoom
