This is one question that many may ask, looking at the way in which super zoom ad ultra zoom cameras are selling like hot cakes – just how close can one get to a subject? But then, in the age where everyone knows what the Macro mode in cameras stands for, there seems to be nothing called ‘too close for comfort’. This must be the principle on the lines of which the FinePix HS10 / HS11 from Fujifilm may have been designed. This ultra zoom camera is equipped with the resolution of 10.3mp and a zoom range as high as a whopping 30x.
Design and FunctioningA camera that offers a very large range of zoom capacity can be expected to be a little heavier than the normal point and shoot cameras – which is perhaps the reason why the FinePix HS10 / HS11 from Fujifilm stands at a weight of 630gs. It is, nevertheless, touted as a one stop solution for the serious photography enthusiast as well as all those who only use point and shoot cameras. This camera is touted as perhaps the only other compact super zoom camera that offers such a large zoom range, with a focal length range of 24mm to 720mm. It’s further bolstered by triple image stabilization – which involves mechanical CMOS shift, digital stabilization, and ISO adjustment – and a back-lit CMOS sensor optimized for low-light shooting. With this camera, recording and viewing can be done in full HD, plus advanced picture search function, micro thumbnail and slideshow, keeping alive the users most cherished memories. It contains internal memory of 46MB and is compatible with SD/SDHC cards.
