Fujifilm FinePix HS20 EXR review - Features

The HS20's 30x optical zoom lens (24-720mm equivalent) is, without doubt, the foremost and best feature on offer. What makes it special is that, like the HS10, the lens has a manual zoom that's far quicker and more accurate to use than the  fiddly zoom toggle methods used by the competition. An f/2.8-5.6 aperture is also impressive when considering just how substantial the zoom's top-end reach is too.

Behind the scenes and the HS20 utilises a 16-megapixel, back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor with EXR processing technology and sensor-shift image stabilisation technology. While the pixels are rotated by 45∞ degrees for more effective capture of light, it's the processing that mimics the EXR pixel array (as found in older Fuji ‘EXR' models) for improved image quality.

Images can be captured from ISO 100-3200 at any given resolution, at 8MP for ISO 6400 or 4MP for ISO 12,800. In addition there's a 1080p HD movie capture mode that use the H.264 compression codec for best possible quality.
