    HS20 EXR Tips

    I moved from the HS10 to the HS20EXR... I have enjoyed them both for their zoom but I cant say its very useful for things like Birds in Motion especially considering the shutter is even slower on the HS20 then the HS10. Best advice is to not use Auto mode and Tinker around.. I am really looking...
