Description — Fujifilm HS20 EXR
The Fujifilm FinePix HS20 EXR centers on a 16MP 1/2-inch EXR CMOS sensor capable of shooting stills at 4608x3456 pixels. The ISO range runs from 100 to 12800, and a burst mode fires at up to 8 frames per second for capturing fast subjects. Optical image stabilization helps keep shots sharp during handheld use. The camera's 3-inch articulated LCD with 460,000 dots of resolution allows for flexible shooting angles, while an electronic viewfinder provides a secondary framing option.
Video capabilities include 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and a high-speed 320x240 at 160fps mode. Color profiles available are Standard and Chrome for stills. The camera takes 4x AA batteries, stores files on SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and connects via USB.
At 730g and 131 x 91 x 126 mm, it has a solid build, though it carries no weather sealing. Autofocus relies on contrast detection.
