expertreviews‘s review Edit

Fantastic controls, a massive zoom, lots of fun features and excellent low-light performance make this the best ultra-zoom camera we’ve ever seen

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

We like the Fujifilm FinePix HS10 because its very broad focal range allows for almost every kind of photo. It has manual zoom control and focus ring, an angle-adjustable LCD screen, enjoys rugged build quality and records full HD video. It's not the most portable or lightest camera, and as supplied there is no rechargeable battery.

DigitalCameraReview‘s review Edit

Up to the point where FedEx delivered the HS10, the Canon SX10 IS was my favorite long zoom digicam. Having now spent some quality time with Fuji 's newest ultrazoom, that's no longer the case. Budget and space constrained photo enthusiasts looking for a point-and-shoot that competently substitutes for a DSLR and a bag of lenses could do much worse than the HS10.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

If you don't want to make the leap to a digital SLR yet but desire DSLR features and performance, the Fujifilm FinePix HS10 is about as close to the real thing as you're going to get. It also does DSLRs one better by offering an extremely versatile 30x built-in optical zoom lens. Along with being able to get close to the action at a maximum 720mm equivalent focal length, the Fujifilm HS10 doesn't skimp on the wide-angle, letting you go out as far as 24mm (equivalent) for sweeping landscape photography.

reghardware‘s review Edit

The Fujifilm Finepix HS10 has enough photo features to keep you occupied, but not so many that you have to pick up the manual to understand why you might like to try them. The slow motion feature alone might be enough to tempt more creative users. While it does run on an unfashionable power source, and the sharpening could come down a little, you do get a huge, go-anywhere zoom and some fun film features. Overall, there's little to complain about. It’s a decent, solid photo performer that consistently delivers good quality images – considering the price, you get a pretty good deal.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

Okay, though the Fujifilm FinePix HS10 looks like a DSLR, it's not a DSLR. Whilst this means images aren't quite as pin sharp as an interchangeable lens alternative, non professionals will well be able to live with that in exchange for a much broader range of creative possibilities than the pocket camera they may be upgrading from.

MacNN‘s review Edit

All the same, at $500 official this could be a bargain for a photographer who wants a very long zoom and good control but isn't prepared to buy a DSLR and a range of lenses just to make that happen. It does have stiff competition in very inexpensive DSLRs like the and D3000, Pentax K-x, not to mention mirrorless interchangeables like the Olympus E-PL1 and Sony Alpha NEX-3, but these won't necessarily be better.

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

The Fujifilm FinePix HS10 is a technological tour-de-force, cramming as many features as possible into one camera. It is well made, pleasant to handle and offers the kind of versatility usually only possible with a DSLR kit. Many of its features are useful, but some are mere novelties. The lens is of good quality, but the slow autofocus and barely-above-average image quality make the high price off-putting.

ephotozine‘s review Edit

There's tonnes of features on the camera, more than enough to keep you busy for a long time, there are innovative features such as the motion remover, 30x optical zoom and Fujfilm are pushing the technology by being one of the first manufacturers to use a backlit sensor. Despite all this I can't help but feel that the camera has to come down in price to nearer the £300 mark. I think then it will be a good price.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

FujiFilm has created a nice Porsumer or Bridge camera that is sure to please those looking for a camera that offers an amazing amount of versatility when compared to most point-n-shoot cameras on the market. I feel that the FujiFilm FinePix HS10 will make a great camera for the hobbyist that is looking for a vast zoom range, and plenty of useful exposure options; not to mention a usable 1080p HD video option.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

Fujifilm's FinePix HS10 has the look, feel, and controls of a dSLR, with the photos and shooting performance of a common point-and-shoot.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

With a wealth of innovative features, shooting modes for every experience level, not to forget that amazing 30x zoom, the Fujifilm Finepix HS10 is one of the best super-zooms around and also a viable alternative to a DSLR camera. The HS10 only misses out on our highest award thanks to less than stellar image quality in low-light, slow RAW processing speeds and the high price tag.
