Thought I'd start a new thread dedicated to this one as a lot of us are eager to see the results.

To begin with, some interesting discussions on the dpreview website:

From what I can gather, the jury is still out.

Colour looks good.

Seems to be noisy in detail, but what P&S isn't. If the people posting just placed RAW images you have a better chance of gauging the image, second guessing if they've fiddle with the original.

how on earth did a guy in Poland get an HS20 for evaluation before the rest of the world ?

I was wondering if anyone knows of any issues with the tripod mount on the HS 20 or HS10. I've read that the thread is plastic rather than a metal insert, so was wondering how robust it was...

Cheers,

it is plastic and by some accounts it is not very robust.On the HS10 I believe you would need to replace the camera body in order to replace a broken mount as its integral.

Giants Castle vulture hide

Hi all. Just acquired a Fuji HS20 "bridge" camera, 16MP, 24-720 zoom. Went up to Giant's Castle vulture hide (Drakensberg, South Africa) yesterday on our first date together. Challenging! Was pleased with some of the results but did battle with two things: a) autofocus tracking of moving subject, and b) processing time after multi-frame shooting. Any tips? Attached a first sample. Cheers. KevinExZim.

Just if anyone UK based is interested this camera is the special value for today only on QVC shopping channel for £367.92 plus p&p. They hold this price until it midnight tonight or when it sell out whichever is soonest.

With QVC you can order it pay either in full or 4 monthly payments and use it for up to 30 days and send it back and get your money back [apart from p&p] if you dont think it meets your expectations. the only downside to this is that you pay for the return postage and the rates that the royal mail chage due to the value can be ott...

Here's a link with a bit Fuji stuff. Dave is a friend of mine and he takes most of his pictures with Fuji cameras. He tried the new HS-20 and came out with this:

Record-breaking, innovative, versatile; the new Fujifilm FinePix HS20 EXR is all this and so much more. Replacing the multiple award-winning FinePix HS10; this latest addition to the range of Fujifilm bridge cameras represents the perfect picture taking solution for photographers who want the specification and picture quality of an SLR without the heavy camera bag and huge dent in their bank balance. With a class-leading feature set that includes a brand new EXR CMOS sensor, high speed continuous shooting capability, improved user interface, versatile video functions, 16 megapixel resolution and a 30x zoom lens with advanced anti-blur technologies, the HS20 EXR sets new standards in bridge camera functionality and performance.

Thanks,

Now banned and links disabled, but probably too late.
Thanks for alerting us though.
