By tbonzo on December 10, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Manual Zoom, like the Higher priced cameras, nice feel, size, weight Long life Battery compared to Point and shoot cameras, fast, like the eye viewfinder, and like the swivel screen too.
Cons:
Other Comments: Fuji Film makes great Cameras, but not sure if they are up to the Nikon quality in all areas. For the Price and features it is the best on the market.

5 out of 5 stars   3 years with a DSLR... but this thing!
By OutreAnima on November 05, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Incredible lens capability, outstanding dynamic range, comfortable grip, light weight, versatile display, easy video recording, great color reproduction, lightning fast sequential shooting.
Cons: Sensor size is tiny, speckling/noise, soft at pixel level, inefficient use of display for battery life, nonstandard USB connection, zoom a bit rough (prevents creep though)
Other Comments: The features and dynamic range alone make this an amazing camera. While sensor size has its quality drawbacks, it is easily made up for in the ease of getting well saturated and balanced images showing more within highlights and shadows than any DSLR I've ever seen. As a camera for birding or simply a photography enthusiast who wants a great all-in-one, Fuji has perfected the bridge camera in the HS50. Once you have it in your hands, it's hard to set it down until the battery is dead. This brings the fun back into talking pictures.

5 out of 5 stars   Fuji HS50 Superzoom
By Tommy G. on October 09, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Incredibly sharp photos at full zoom length. The camera body is not as large as some other reviews would have you believe. I own 2 full size DSLR's and they are large, this Fuji is not. It is light weight also without feeling "cheap". It is loaded with plenty of features to play with for creativity. The Fuji Super Intelligent Flash has lots of power for most lighting needs. And for this price, this camera can't be beat!
Cons: Fuji's RAW program is very difficult to work with. They could learn from Canon, Sony, or Minolta when it comes to designing an easier, more intuitive program.
Other Comments: This beauty is more than capable of being your main camera for a days shoot, as well as a superb, easy carry backup camera. If you are very interested in beginning photography this would be a great choice as a first camera because you will get an easy to use, versatile camera that you won't have to upgrade at any time soon until you might want to get into DSLR photos.

5 out of 5 stars   Excelllent camera for the price
By Bill on September 12, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Two automatic modes make it easier to get very good pictures under a lot of circumstances. For those who wish to experiment and refine results with their photo taking, the camera allows a multitude of settings to adjust shots. The raw picture mode is great to have for those who want to perform post-production work on their photos.
Cons: Some may but I personally don't see the need for the "intelligent zoom" feature which extends the zoom factor(at the expense of photo quality). The Optical zoom capability is very good for the price of this camera.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Camera
By Stacie on August 25, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Easy to use, point and shoot or custom settings. I am no photographer but all my pics look great!
Cons: Large front due to telescoping lens and so is has a bad habit of tipping forward on the tripod and so I have had to reinforce the hinge.
Other Comments: I love this camera and would buy it again!

By RobNY on June 29, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Amazing features and lens in one package. Extreme zoom built in. Great back up or vacation camera, and great price. No need to carry extra lenses.

Other Comments: Love this camera, my friends loved it as well, had to order another two for them.

5 out of 5 stars   Best Hybrid Camera out there!!
By RobNY on June 08, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: All in one zoom, manual focus option and especially manual zoom. Swivel LCD, an actual viewfinder to look through, fast speed and availability to snap stills in video mode. Great backup camera to my Canon DLRS. Love the creative filters. Very similar to operate like my Canons, therefore easy for me to use. Reasonable price (especially from Beach Camera), fast shipping and the 45-day return policy is a cut above the competition. Kudos Beach Camera! I just bought another for a friend.
Cons: Only wish it had an optical viewfinder, but a small compromise considering all of this camera's features.
Other Comments: Other manufacturers make some sort of hybrid like this one, but Fujifilm is the only one I know with a manual zoom ring (more precise and faster than electronic zooms) and a manual focus option.

5 out of 5 stars   Awesome
By summrgirl on May 20, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Great Zoom, light weight considering the size, comfortable in the hand,
Cons: Zoom lens doesn't spin as smoothly as I think it should, but hasn't really been a problem so far.
Other Comments: I bought this camera for getting in closer to birds for identification purposes. And it does that quite well! I didn't want to spend high dollar on fancy slr and I think this is as close as you can get to one without forking out big bucks. Unless they come out with a pocket sized camera with this amount of zoom I will be using this one for a good long time.

4 out of 5 stars   BEST Hybrid Camera !!
By RobNY on April 29, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Unbelievable features. Loaded to the max. Creative filters a plus. Considering everything this camera can do with a 1000mm lens attached, this camera is very light and compact. Photos, while not super pro sharp, are sufficiently sharp enough to produce wonderful 11x14. Video at 60fps is better than some other top line brands. Genuine manual focus and manual zoom, can't get any better that that in a "hybrid". This is a great camera for the advanced amateur, light on the vacationer, or backup for the pro. Very well worth the price.
Cons: Electronic Viewfinder - while ok for amateurs, still does not compare to a genuine optical finder, favored by the pros, but at least it has a viewfinder. Many other hybrid type cameras don't even have a viewfinder requiring you to view through the LCD screen only. More important, most others DON'T HAVE MANUAL FOCUS WHEREAS THIS CAMERA DOES. That is an extremely important feature for the serious photographer. Would have given 5 stars but for the viewfinder.
Other Comments: Overall I love this camera as a backup. I would definitely take on vacation with me. I may be a bit old fashion, but I'm not a fan of Electronic Viewfinders (EVF). They're slow and require the power be "on" in order to just view the surroundings. I still prefer optical finders. Other than that, this is camera is great. Don't expect the "all in one" zoom lens to compare with pro level glass but is it more than sufficient for most photography, and have fun with the "creative filters". I'm thinking about buying more for my nephews and nieces starting out in photography.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Little Camera
By timbo762 on March 19, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: This is a great little camera for everyday use. The manual 50 to 1 zoom is easy to use and will handle most situations. It's got enough features and modes to satisfy those that like to "play", but can bet set to "auto everything" for "point and shoot" ease. The photos look fine, even when enlarged. The on-camera flash works fine, but if you do a lot flash photography I highly recommend getting the EF-42 Flash unit.
Cons: Personal "nit picks" aside, there are no "cons".
Other Comments: I wish this, and other Fujifilm cameras, had more exposure compensation in the flash mode.

5 out of 5 stars   As expected
By yopi on March 16, 2014
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Manual zoom and focus option. Fairly bright lens for its class. Slightly larger processor for its class. Great feel, esp. for larger hands. This is listed by some as a minus, but I like the size and still smaller than SLR. Great auto-focus. 8 MP options also great.
Cons: Plastic tripod ring. Some of the negatives expressed by others I did not share: larger size great for my larger hands, zoom more than enough and more not worth the length versus darker aperture at those longer lengths and camera shake. Does not have some of the extras like 3d and in-camera combination of multiple exposures, but at least the latter is better done with post-production software anyway and I found the solid still photo and video capabilities more than makes up for some lack of latest wizbangery for my needs.
Other Comments: The only competition in my mind is the Lumix with that incredible 2.8 lens. This is a great option for someone switching from SLR world (I need my hands and shoulders for kids now, good-bye massive camera bag). These manual zoom and focus features are unique and for me made the difference. For others used to point and shoot end this probably won't be missed. I understand they are discontinuing and new version will not have these manual features.

5 out of 5 stars   Why Spend More?
By Dunn on December 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR Digital Camera (FJFPHS50EXR)
Pros: Ttl Metering, EXR, Hot Shoe Flash, 24-1000 Zoom, Full HD video, 16 Mb Pixels, Rotating LCD screen
Cons: Can't think of any
Other Comments: This is the Third Finepix camera I've owned. I do not believe there is a better performing camera for the price. With technology changing so quickly why buy something expensive. I've won photo contests with these cameras as well as taken beautiful snapshots that enlarge beautifully.
