Hi All, I was given the opportunity to use the Fuji HS50EXR And what a great camera this turned out to be. Launched in 2013 it still holds a price of approx £350-00 Which i thought was good value for money. I tried the HS50 against my Samsung GX10 . The first thing I noticed was just how light it was compared to my Samsung with a Sigma 135-400mm lens fitted, I have to use the Samsung/Sigma combination on a tripod but even using the HS50 at 1000mm the picture quality was very good with it's 1/2 inch EXR CMOS II Censor. focal range covers 24-1000, with the addition of 1.4 or 2x Digital zoom via the Menu. Video quality was also very good with full 1080p hd video supported. The HS50EXR has a High resolution tilting LCD Screen which coped extremely well even in bright sunlight. I found the controls to be very easy to use, albeit I had to ask a colleague a couple of questions about the HS50EXR as i didn't have a user guide to refer to. here are some images from the HS50EXR and the SAMSUNG, I will state which are from each Camera.

All of the above images were taken with my Samsung GX10.
All in all, i enjoyed using the Fuji HS50EXR, for a Bridge camera its extremely versatile with a lot of bells and whistles that my Samsung doesn't have, it certainly packs a pig punch for it's weight, which is 808g inc battery, which is only 50 g heavier than the Samsung GX body without the lens.
I hope you find this useful. Thanks
Trev.
