Q**E
A+++
Have had the camera for a little while now, it's brilliant! Was looking for something that rivals a DSLR with picture quality and the overall control, but with the ability to work as a point and shoot pocket cam and deliver a quality professional photo. The EXR mode does this with out a problem! The quick access buttons on the left of the screen are a god send! In manual mode it performs really well, lots and lots of control. the portrait mode couldn't be better. Long exposure isn't bad what so ever, would be useful if the maximum shutter hold was longer than 30s, but still not bad at all. As a video camera you can't complain, just wish the high speed video was better quality, but full hd and mic sensibility is top notch. Panoramic is pretty much flawless, adjusts for focus and lighting conditions really well. The zoom capability is fantastic! It's ability to add the x2 digital zoom is top quality!Why to by this camera# easy to use and light.# can be used by a nervous novice# great for a pro working in changing conditions with only one chance to get the shot# cheap in comparison to others# zoom is brilliantWhy not to by this camera# you want Super long exposure photos# you want Hd high speed videos# if you want to change the lensHighly recommended for a family cam or a professional point and shoot!

Remarkable, very few flaws.
The FUJIFILM HS30EXR is a brilliant professional camera, I myself am a novice photographer but the camera is very simple to use and to handle. The 30x opticle zoom is brilliant-I can sit in my chair and photo some flower that I would normal stand a couple of metres away from. Furthermore, the 60x digital is excellent but I rarely use due to my shaky hands. The battery is a vast improvement to HS25 as I don't have to spend hours look through draw to find spares. The pop-out LCD screen is very useful as I don't have to bend my body to see it. It is lightweight, and the buttons are easy to use. The LCD turns off when you use the viewfinder automatically alternatively you can easily swap between the LCD and the viewfinder with one button. A downside to this camera is that the focus ring fiddly and not that easy to use but this can be easily solved by changing the mode to EXR which does does (almost) everything for you. Another downside is that it sometimes takes a while select the mode and can change just when you press the shutter. The 1080p video is better than my video camera which I don't need any more.Overall this is an excellent buy completely worth every penny.

Almost brilliant, but one or two flaws to be aware of
I have been using my HS30exr for 18 months now, and thought I'd provide a reasoned review of the pros and cons of this bridge platform. I would say I'm an enthusiastic amateur photographer who was looking for a camera with which to expand my skills.Build Quality: Overall, I find this to be impressive compared to others at this price point. It feels like a small DSLR. The barrel zoom is a major advantage over the mechanical button variety found on most bridge cameras. It is silent, more accurate and best of all you feel like a proper photographer! The extending screen is solidly built, though it doesn't pivot horizontally, only vertically. There is a hot shoe for additional flash, but the built in pop up effort is actually very good for most situations. There are a couple of issues to be aware of: 1) the battery compartment shutter is flimsy to say the least. 2) THE TRIPOD MOUNT IS PLASTIC AND WILL CRUMBLE VERY EASILY. I have just fallen foul of this problem and a bit of online research reveals it is a common fault. I did not overtighten the tripod mount and only ever removed it to change battery, which you have to do. Moreover, Fuji seem to be very reluctant to repair it under warranty. It defies belief that a camera that cost me nearly £300 at the time can be hamstrung by poor build quality in such a high stress area. I'm taking mine to a dedicated camera repair centre and getting them to manufacture a metal replacement. Costly, but less so than if the camera falls off the tripod. This issue isn't a deal-breaker, but be aware that it WILL happen to yours at some point.Shooting: The camera has both RAW and Jpeg modes and I must say I am impressed with the quality of the shots. Obviously, since the sensor is smaller than a full SLR, there is some compromise on image quality (megapixels aren't everything) but the trade off is the superb zoom range, which would require many thousands of pounds and a pet Hulk to carry around around. I love going from macro flowers one minute to a wide angle landscape the next with no hassle. For the enthusiastic amateur this is ideal and the image quality is comparable to an entry level DSLR. Batteries last forever: one of my colleagues has the model which takes conventional AA cells, but I opted for the lithium Ion version. You can pick up spares fairly cheaply (though check the source) which means you don't have to pay the rip-off £70 for a Fuji approved one. I added the Raynox 2.2 teleconverter to double up on the zoom- this is a good price at around £120 and the image quality is actually very good, as long as you use a tripod or a beanbag. Perfect for those safari shots. The menus are clear and easy to operate and the camera is packed full of clever features. Everything on this camera feels intuitive: the design is comfortable and ergonomic meaning it's easy to get a good grip and shake free shots. The flagship EXR mode is handy, but realistically, once you figure out the maual settings, you won't go back. It features continuous shooting mode and the best frame capture mode is surprisingly useful though it does burn through memory cards- make sure you have plenty back up. I also love the partial zoom assist to help with manual focus. The auto focus can be a little clumsy at times: this is the one area where the HS30 falls down compared to an SLR. You aren't going to get that crystal clear shot of an Osprey diving to pluck a trout from a loch. But for everything other than rocket propelled predators, the camera performs admirably. The movie mode is decent, though the adjusting of the cameras autofocus does come through in the soundtrack and the microphone sounds like people are whispering into a crisp packet. The super slow motion feature is quite cool however and can be shot at up to 160fps I think. One thing I would say is that due to sensor size, don't be expecting to get above f11- that's the realm of the DSLR. That said, I have found a neutral density filter to be an essential addition and the camera can then cope well with just about all shooting conditions. I shoot exclusively in RAW, then post edit in Adobe Lightroom before converting the finished file to jpeg and the colours remain true throughout. There are presets available for this camera within Lightroom. One final point: on very rare occasions, when shooting into the sun, I have found vertical lines distorting my images. When this happens, the image is unusable. Again, not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of and now I always check my shots taken in these circumstances.Overall: A great piece of kit for the price and one which has enabled me to expand my photographic skills without breaking the bank. With virtually all the features of a DSLR, and an enormous zoom range, this camera is great for travel, hiking and active pursuits. Be aware of the aforementioned issues regarding the tripod mount, as it's an question of when, not if, it cracks. Sorry Fuji, you were so close to 5 stars, but your cost cutting on one tiny piece of plastic blew it. And don't give me that rubbish about it being polycarbonate... it's plastic.
