If you had a choice between the HS30 and the S100fs, which one would you choose?

I do have a choice and I own them both. I take them both on field trips. The S100FS is faster in getting action shots, but the HS30EXR allows me to get closer to my subject. I usually shoot from a tripod using a cable release.

Sorry, this post was really old! But in case you tracked it, how do you like the S200exr? I have the HS10 but am wondering if the latter would have been a better choice for sharper pictures.

I can't give you a comparison of them. I can tell you the S1000 is an awesom bridge camera. You can have full manual control or just use auto. The zoom is great both optical and digital. I highly recommend the S1000. Other revues I've read say shooting video you can hear the lens motor when zooming and ths is true. However you can remove the sound when editing the project.

I would recommend reviewing the reviews of both cameras on www.snapsort.com/explore. This site provides a comparison of the two cameras and ranks the Canon as #1 and the SL1000as number 8 in the category of superzooms. Snapsort provides a scoring chart for various features of the cameras, and allows an evaluation of the features that are most important to you for each camera.Liz Hancock

Thanks Jim, What is the advantage of the HF200 over the HF100 camcorder? Is the quality going to be better?

I can't wait for a reviewer to get their hands on the HS20. Sounds great on paper.HS20 reportedly has Bigger CMOS sensor and faster circuits (along with a few other fixes, plus remote shutter release capable, more frames per second, SDXC, and includes a proper bayonet mounted hood).HS10 at under $400 sounded too good to be true, this sounds more like it, how it is worth the extra dough.DP Review reports the basics (propaganda):http://www.dpreview.com/news/1101/11010513fujifilmhs20exr.asp

Do you like the 240? I'm trying to decide if I should go with it or the 230.

I've ordered the HF100. 549$.I couldn't see any difference between the HG20's 24Mbps recording and the HF100's 17Mbps recording on 40" fullHD Toshiba lcd.It's cheaper about 90$, about 2 16GB SDHC Cards and a 8GB SDHC card...I will use my PS3 to watch videos, no need 60Gb capacity on camcorder.

love it - perfect midrange camera to play with until the next generation cams come out in a year or 2.Yes - you can go with teh HFS 100 for only about 400 more. but why would you when technology changes so fast?Next year I will but the HFS100 equivalent for 200 bucks (using the 400 i just saved)Always go mid-range folks - do NOT be a measurebator and get stuck in the weeds.

I found a compare link http://snapsort.com/compare/Fujifilm-FinePix-HS35EXR-vs-Fujifilm-HS30-EXR/specs It has some differences but also the price, i like my HS30EXR special for that low price it works great.

If someone can answer definitively, please do. My guess would be that you won't see much of a difference between the two in an S100. But like I said, that's a total guess.

If the money is no issue I would buy the HS35EXR It's the same camera with som optimized features, you could say it an updated HS30EXR, but it's not necessary because the HS30EXR is a great camera.

the hfs is more powerful and more expensive than the hf. the hfs lens and chipset if better as well. you pay more for better quality

The S95 (or in my case, the S90) takes far better macro shots than the X100. Focus is much faster and solid. But the X100 takes 'bokeh' shots much better than the little Canon. I'm keeping both as I believe they complement each other rather well.

The HS8 is the newer of the two. Based on the reviews I've read the frequency reponse is slightly improved: HS8 38hz-30hz, HS80M 42hz-20hz.

we have the hs30exr and are very pleased. the 720 mm manual zoom is terrific, battery life great and up to 11 frames /sec is good for shooting action shots. i don't think the cool pix offers these features.
