FUJIFILM FINEPIX HS20 EXR NO CHARGER IN SOUTH AFRICA

Introduced at the CES, Fujilim's Finepix HS20 EXR ultrazoom compact digital camera (henceforth the HS20) is the replacement for the HS10. The new camera gets a hefty bump in resolution to 16 megapixels from 10 in its predecessor. More significantly, the resolution increase is accompanied by a slight increase in the physical size of the new sensor, which is of the backside illumination variety (BSI) that offers the promise of better high ISO performance over conventional designs. BSI technology isn't unique to Fuji, but EXR is and Fuji isn't shy about touting their newest iteration of this technology: "The unique EXR pixel and color arrays are key to image quality." Rotated by 45 degrees, the EXR pixel array increases both horizontal and vertical resolution. By using the diagonally-aligned twin pixels of the same color, the sensor can switch between HR (High Resolution), DR (Wide Dynamic Range) and SN (High Sensitivity and Low Noise) modes depending on the scene, ensuring that every moment is captured with the highest image quality." The 30x zoom lens covers the 24 to 720mm focal range (in 35mm equivalents) and is manually zoomed in contrast to the powered systems of most other compact digitals. Here's a look at that focal range at both ends of the zoom lens.
