Fuji just announced a quartet of megazoom ( read : get lens of the eye ) cameras in a Monday blitz , with the most telling being this HS10 . It wo n’t give the stratum of control of a DSLR , but it looks to blow away any point - and - shoot .
The 10MP HS10 , pictured , is an interesting beast : It ’s have a 30x manual optical zoom ( 24 - 720 mm equivalent ) , have in mind you’re able to twist the lens like on a detachable DSLR ( which does give faster and more exact ascendance ) , which is something I ’ve never seen before in a limit - lens camera . It ’ll also take 1080p picture , including “ a new Super High Speed Movie mode ” that can take slow - motion television at up to 1000fps , and it has a 7 - shape burst fashion at 10fps . It ’s also convey smashing low - light performance thanks to its new BSI - CMOS sensing element , and rent simultaneous birthday suit and JPEG shots . It ’ll be available in April for $ 500 .
The other two megazooms , the S1800 and S2550HD , are moderately similar ; they ’re both 12MP hired gun with an 18x zoom , 28mm-504 millimeter lenses , 720p video transcription and a 3 - inch LCD . The differences : The S1800 has automatonlike picture revolution and tracking autofocus , while the S2550HD has a miniHDMI - out larboard . The S1800 will cost $ 230 and the S2550HD $ 250 when they ’re resign this March .
ultimately , there ’s also a “ compact megazoom ” in the family unit , the F80EXR . It ’s got a 27mm - equivalent , 10x opthalmic wide - slant rapid climb electron lens , improve scummy - visible light and flash , and , um , preferred face detection . Yeah , it can recognize the face of frump and cats . It ’ll be useable in April for $ 300 . [ Fuji ]
