The Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR is a powerhouse bridge camera featuring a 16MP BSI-CMOS sensor, blazing-fast Hybrid autofocus, and a versatile 42x Fujinon optical zoom lens. Its 3-inch vari-angle LCD and high-resolution electronic viewfinder provide flexible framing options, while Full HD 1080p/60fps video with continuous AF ensures professional-quality movies. Perfect for ambitious amateurs and prosumers craving precision, speed, and creative freedom in one sleek black package.

## Description

The New FinePix HS50EXR features a 1/2" 16M EXR CMOS II for High Image Quality images, Fast autofocus and Quick Response. New Intelligent Hybrid AF auto focuses in as fast as 0.05 sec. thanks EXR CMOS II. Depending on the scene, Hybrid AF instantly switches between high-speed phase detection AF(found in most top-end SLRs), and contrast AF, which is employed when high contrast light is present. Applying the fastest algorithm according to the targeted subject and scene, Hybrid AF guarantees your subject will be in focus as quickly as possible ensuring your shots are captured perfectly. The newly developed Fujinon optical 42x manual zoom lens (24 - 1,000mm) effectively combines a spherical lenses, ED lens, and integrated lenses to achieve a bright aperture rating of f/2.8 - 5.6, and image stabilization. Super Macro mode allows close-up shooting from as near as 1cm and the manual barrel zoom ensures speedy, intuitive control of the camera. Lens shift image stabilization ensures that even hand-held shots are free from blur. And if you are trying to take tricky, close to the ground, macro flower shots or want to capture the band on the main stage above the heads of the crowd, you can switch to the very useful 3.0-inch Vari-Angle LCD screen. Again boasting a detailed 920K-dot, the LCD screen can fold out and flip around so you can see what you are taking - no matter what the angle you're trying to shoot at. The FinePix HS50EXR boasts a high-resolution (920K-dot) electronic viewfinder equipped with an eye sensor, making it easier to frame subjects and check focus in bright daylight conditions. The bright EVF accommodates a traditional shooting style, making it easy to steady the camera, even when shooting with the 42x zoom fully extended. Full HD Movie 1080p/60fps with continuous phase detection AF Phase detection autofocus is active during movie recording for faster focus response.

Review: A very, very good camera - This camera has a number of good features. In no particular order, they are: o The lens is long and fast o The viewfinder and LED screen (920kPixels) are EXCELLENT. o The sensor is larger than that of many of its competitors. This sensor has 8 times as many pixels as a full HD display. If you're going to put your photo on your computer, you will have a lot of pan and zoom available to you. o CMOS sensors like this are better at low light. o The artificial horizon is a helpful tool o The focussing aids work well - as long as you know they are going to come on o The hybrid autofocus is indeed faster, often seeming almost instantaneous o Both in spot and average, the focus is very good at bringing into focus what I want in focus o The manual zoom is a wonderful thing to have (for all stills and low dynamic video) o The manual zoom saves an enormous amount of battery life o The manual focus is actually usable - using a lens ring is a wonder o The manual exposure controls are the easiest I have seen in a non-SLR o The camera has an unmarked knob to which almost ANY function may be assigned. Majorly COOL. o Saturation and color accuracy are the best I have seen from Fuji and easily rival a Canon HS we also own. o The camera is easy to handle (though it certainly won't fit in your pocket) o Battery life is more than satisfactory, though from 1st Low Battery warning to DEAD can be very short indeed o The solidity and build of the camera are substantial and pleasing o The number of features available in the UI is impressive and most are quite usable o Under Advanced, the camera has a mode in which it will rapidly take 2-4 pictures with a very high ISO setting and then combine them into a single frame to eliminate the usual high-ISO noise. The results are ASTOUNDING. You can take shots by candlelight that look like 25 ASA Kodachrome (if you're old enough to know what that even means). NO NOISE. o I found the complaints about the ON/OFF switch to be unfounded. This is the third or fourth camera I have owned with a power switch of this design and it has never been an issue with me. o Motion panorama needs a tripod if you have any zoom on at all, but does produce excellent images. o Movies are crispy and well exposed. Focus and exposure are both dynamic and accurate. Manual zoom's a litte rough for video o The ability to vary the camera's dynamic range is useful and enables some creative tricks you never saw outside of Photoshop o This camera supports both sides of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance": an expert can use it and a complete novice can use it (as long as the novice doesn't start messing with the knobby bits). It has a truly brainless AUTO mode that will take care of everything and in almost all cases, take excellent pictures. The only drawbacks are, as I have already noted, that the manual zoom makes long, slow zooms in videos very difficult to accomplish, particularly if you are not on a tripod. TIP: always use a tripod when shooting video. TIP: Viewers get rapidly tired of long zooms and pans; shoot primarily static shots; allow your subjects to do the moving. You will need to spend some time really learning how to use this camera. Like any new, upper end camera, it has a LOT of features and if you just pick it up and try to start shooting, you are going to get confused and/or frustrated. Have the camera in front of you as you go through the full manual. Operate every feature and setting till you at least know what it is doing - whether or not you think you will ever use it. The reward will be feeling much more comfortable and being able to get the camera to do what you want it to, which is a LOT. As pointed out by several other reviewers, replacing the capability of this lens with interchangeables would cost a fortune and you will, of course, have to stop what you are doing to dig out the next lens, switch them and put the old one away by which time your Pileated Woodpecker has flown the coop. I keep telling myself I'm going to get a DSLR, but if they keep producing point-and-shoots like this, I believe I never will. Genug.
Review: Excellent Camera - Portable and Versatile. - The camera is everything I expected it to be. The phase detect is really fast and I like the ability to manipulate/tweak the auto focus settings for different shooting situations. The macro/super macro works well. The optical zoom is great. The intelligent digital zoom is ok. The stabilization is very good. Although my personal preference, for long range shooting, is to use a tripod whenever possible. The 'filters', although not necessary, do add a layer of simplistic fun to the camera. Being able to shoot in RAW is definately a big plus! My personal opinion is that this camera is not for novices. If you have never changed a setting to take a picture on any camera you have ever used then this camera is not for you! If you are a beginner and have lots of patience and are willing to spend the time to learn, then this camera will serve you well. If you are an experienced user and value the importance of being able to customise your settings 'on the fly' you should be quite satisfied with this camera. The main reasons I love this camera are portability, versatility and RAW! It is much easier to walk around with this camera for casual shooting than a DSLR with kit. Once you master this camera's settings you will be able to manipulate it very quickly to suit any occasion. In terms of picture quality, I'd consider it quite suitable for non-commercial purposes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of a SD card would one buy for still shots only?**
A: 16 GB SD cards are more than enough for any Shots you're taking ; Just stick to name brands such as SanDisk Ultra 16 GB SDHC Class 10 Flash Memory Card 30MB/s SDSDU-016G-AFFP  it's very affordable ..... see it by typing in the the above info .....what I have is the 16 GB SDXC Class 10 which can handle 45 MB/S speeds and I have had no problems with it. The SDHC is the cheaper and slower (usually about 4 MB/S speed). So if you need something reliable to use as a memory card for videos then go SDXC Class 10. It is well worth the money to use in videos but for cameras while taking still pictures only then you will not need this extremely fast card. Also it holds enough pics in the hi def format that you can actually go with a 8 GB card however for long vacations & fewer downloads get the 16GB ( 32 & 64 are way too expensive to invest in one card & not needed ) .

**Q: Since Amazon now labels the "Old Model" and B&H Photo has marked it as discontinued, what FujiFilm FinePix replaced this model(HS50EXR)?**
A: As of yet, there isn't one. There were no new models in the HS series line announced this year. It's a shame, really, because I LOVE the manual zoom on this camera line. Currently Fuji is touting the FinePix S1 (which has the "standard" zoom mechanism, via rocker switch) but most of the other specs match the HS50's - albeit it is water/dust resistant. Fuji is also pushing their XT1 "prosumer" line, so I fear that the HS50 may be the end of its series.

**Q: Has anyone used a teleconverter lens with this camera for more zoom? results?**
A: Gibbons-san ...  -I have not used a teleconverter with this camera-, sorry.  With the current zoom of 1000, I have not found the need for more.   But on the opposite end of the spectrum, the micro/close-up capability is fantastic.                          Respectfully,         David

**Q: Built in Flash?**
A: Yes it has a built in pop up flash that in the menu you can adjust in 1/3 power levels from  -2/3 power to +2/3 powerIE..   -2/3    -1/3    0    +1/3    +2/3  do not compare this flash to a Speedlight with a Guide number of 58But I do use it now and then.  When out in a snow storm I turn it on up to full power to get the snowflakes that are coming down in front of the camera to be lit up. and when the subjects are maybe less than eight ft away.  just depends.  Play with it "I DO love this camera"If given the choice between a life time supply of Oreos and this Camera I think it would be a toss up.. I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of pluses. Size and weight may be a negative for some.
*by M***N on December 30, 2013*

The Fujifilm Finepix HS50 EXR feels like a DSLR. It is much larger and heavier than other superzooms, though that may not matter to some users. This camera has the fastest shutter of any camera I've used (I don't use any DSLR). You point, you press the shutter, and the image is almost instantly captured. I think this feature sets the Fujifilm apart from all other superzooms and is its major strength. One unusual feature is that the zoom is entirely manual. Just as with a DSLR or traditional film camera, you turn the barrel to move the zoom. Sony has a feature similar to this except that the zoom is powered, whether you use the lever or the barrel. The Fujifilm zoom is very smooth and absolutely quiet. The lens is threaded for 58mm filters and the lens cap fits very securely. A sensor detects your face near the viewfinder (EVF) to automatically switch between the LCD and the EVF. This feature worked very well for me (Sony has this on some superzooms, as well). The EVF has the highest resolution of any point and shoot and is a real pleasure to use. The image processor in the Fujifilm is slightly larger than other superzooms. I didn't see any significant benefit, though in theory is should result in better images. Two years ago, I tried a predecessor to this camera and returned it to Amazon. Almost all of my objections to that camera have been resolved in this camera. In the past six months, I have used the Canon Powershot SX50 HS, the Sony CyberShot 200v, and the Fujifilm Finepix HS50 EXR, arguably the top 3 superzoom point and shoot cameras on the market at this moment. Each has its strengths and weakness, its fans and foes. None of the three is perfect. All three produce great images in bright light outdoors, making them excellent for landscapes and wildlife. My complaint that applies to all three is that the image quality doesn't live up to the superzoom. You'll get close, but you may not like what you see, especially as you crop. Updated 03-06-14: I ended up returning this camera because the quality of the images wasn't superior to the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS 12MP Digital Camera with 2.8-Inch LCD (Black) . I have since purchased the Fujifilm X-S1 12MP EXR CMOS Digital Camera with Fujinon F2.8 to F5.6 Telephoto Lens and Ultra-Smooth 26x Manual Zoom (24-624mm) , which has better image quality.
