Fuji have announced the FinePix HS10 / HS11 bridge camera with the world's first 30x optical zoom lens, effectively giving you a 24 - 720mm lens (34mm equivalent)!
In addition, the camera utilises a new BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor, that promises low noise and a host of new features including:
Full specification:
Prevent capturing blurred photos so often caused by camera shake and subject movement with the HS10's highly effective Image Stabilization technology. By combining CMOS-shift and Digital Image Stabilization, the FinePix HS10 ensures that all your shots are sharp and clear even at the full zoom range.
UK Price likely to be £429.99 when available in April.
In addition, the camera utilises a new BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor, that promises low noise and a host of new features including:
High-speed Continuous Shooting
Shoots the action at 10fps at full resolution. Ultra-burst shooting powered by the fast BSI CMOS sensor reveals images that not even your eyes can capture.
Multi Frame Technology
FinePix Multi Frame Technology combined with the accelerated performance of BSI CMOS lets you use powerful Pro Modes to capture scenes with mood and depth rivaling expensive DSLR cameras.
High Sensitivity and Low Noise
While conventional CMOS front-side elements block light, BSI CMOS turns the sensor upside down to let light directly strike the silicon for higher sensitivity, more uniform response and lower pixel cross talk. For you, that means superior photos in low light with even lower noise.Full specification:

Tracking Auto Focus
Don't miss a shot again! Half press the shutter to lock-on to your subject. However fast they are moving, tracking Auto Focus will ensure that when you take the photo, your subject comes out in focus, perfect for difficult long zoom shots.
* Subjects other than people can also be automatically tracked.Zoom Bracketing Mode
A single press of the shutter takes three shots at a differing zoom magnifications. The original image, a 1.4x zoom image and a 2.0x zoom image are all recorded separately.Instant Zoom
A function to follow moving subjects in standard wide view for easy framing at high zoom settings. With a single press of a button, the subject tracked within the selected frame on the LCD, will be captured and saved at a high zoom ratio (1.4x or 2.0x digital zoom).High Speed Shooting Functions
You're never late for the shot with BSI CMOS.
High Speed Continuous Shooting
Capture every detail of the action with the FinePix HS10's continuous 7-frame shooting mode at an amazing 10fps, at the full 10 megapixel resolution.
Best Frame Capture Mode
With this mode, you can half-press the shutter button and the HS10 will start to record photos. Then, when the special moment happens, all you have to do is fully press the shutter button and the camera will capture that shot and the 7 previous shots, ensuring that you will have every moment of the action recorded, and giving you the opportunity to select whichever was the best shot!
Super High Speed Movie
Sometimes things happen too fast for you to see them properly with your own eyes. The FinePix HS10 can freeze the action at up to an amazing 1000fps! So you can see every single minute detail and watch things happening step by step in slow motion.
Creative Photography with Multi Frame Technology
Enlighten your creativity with innovative motion based functions.
Motion Panorama
Simply sweep the camera right or left, up or down and create your own stunning panoramic images. The super-fast BSI CMOS sensor can capture multiple images, and its powerful image processor stitches them together seamlessly to create beautiful panoramic photos - all in camera, no editing required.
Motion Remover
Remove the tourists from your pictures! This useful function captures 5 successive shots, analyzes them and removes moving subjects. The result is an impressive 2 megapixels image that looks like a postcard shot. No more times wasted waiting for people to get out of your way!
Multi Motion Capture
Capture time and motion in a fun and unique way. Simply press the shutter button and the FinePix HS10 captures the action from 5 successive images and combines it into a single 2 megapixels image.
Pro Low-light Mode
Ideal for shooting non-moving subjects in low light, this mode automatically takes a series of four high-sensitivity & low-noise exposures and then combines them into an image with less noise than the single exposures.
- * There must be sufficient distance between the subject and the background for this function to work properly.
- * Except for subjects where focus bracketing is unable to produce sufficient defocus.
