Fujifilm FinePix HS50 EXR review – Verdict
The HS50 EXR is one of the most fully-featured superzoom cameras currently available, with a superb focusing system, excellent viewfinder and ergonomic design to recommend it.
Despite sub-par video quality, images are detailed and relatively noise-free throughout the range and the ability to capture and process Raw files only furthers the standard achievable from the camera. It’s not the smallest or lightest superzoom currently available, but it’s certainly one of the best for around the £400 mark.
