        Hi - I note that this one says it does not support 24p for a 'film' look. Is this correct? Because I see in this youtube video that they compared this to a rebel t3 and it came out on top.

        Hi I am looking for a camera that can take decent sports shots (ie Judo, martial arts etc) Ideally I would like the Canon 7D but the budget just won't stretch that far. I was looking at the Fuji X-S1 and the Sony Alpha 57 liked both of these cameras a lot, the Sony seems to be a faster camera but would I have to invest in a new lens to avail of the benefits? The Fuji on the other hand is a fixed lens with an aperture of f2.8 any advice which might make the better choice?

        Thanks for letting us know, we must have missed that. We have added it now, and it will appear on Snapsort tomorrow. You can see the scores on our sister site Sortable now if you would like.

        Hi, may be a bit late here but i have had the x-s1 for over 2 weeks now and love it. The iq is great and you still have the features of the h10, h20. The x-s1 is a lot faster especially with shot review turned off. It is bigger, better,weather sealed and with optical image stabilisation. With the size i find it very comfortable to use and carry. Hope this helps. nesnah53. You can check my gallery on the fuji photo site.

        Thanks for an extremely useful site for comparing and buying cameras.

        Please note that the X-S1 does have something for HDR effect,  Although it is only available at reduced resolution in its EXR cell binning mode, the results are in some aspects better than the normal HDR. 

        Also, the X-S1has metal body and lens, both of which are weather sealed.  I believe that should be mentioned when comparing with other superzooms or other cameras in its price bracket, e.g. the G1X.  Finally, a bridge camera that really handles like a well made DSLR.  Yes, I tried it.

        As someone previously mentioned, the 0.47" viewfinder has a 100% coverage. The XS-1 has upto 10fps continuous shooting capability, and supports 70, 120 and 200fps high speed video.

        I'm stuck right now between this or a Canon EOS 60D. For me, I want to upgrade from my current HS10, mainly I want a better picture quality, but I have also done some contract work recording for a boxing company, which involved filming for DVD upto 12 fights per night, and I have shot all of them with minimal issues using my HS10 @ 720p, so a video quality boost would also be a great addition for me.. I shoot movie shorts too and his is where the issue comes, I want DSLR quality, but I don't want to give up the massive range of features of the HS10. I like the fact that the XS-1 also supports remote release, and external mic - something which is another big plus for me.. Can anyone offer any advice?

        Hi Steven, sorry about that, we just added the X-S1, and you're right it does have image stabilization, our mistake, we'll get that fixed asap.

        Fujifilm X-S1 has image stabilization: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_s1/features/

        Looking at the other sites, they also state that the image stabilization is optical (i.e., lens-based).
