Fujifilm FinePix HS10
Competitors

As well as being compared against other super zooms, the Fujifilm FinePix HS10 is also often compared to entry-level DSLRs. The Fujifilm FinePix HS10's top rivals come from Fujifilm (such as the FinePix HS20 and the FinePix HS30 EXR) and Nikon (such as the Coolpix P500 and the Coolpix P100)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Fujifilm HS10 compared to other super zoom competitors include: it records even higher-speed movies (1,000 fps vs none), slightly higher maximum light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs 3,200 ISO), creates panoramas in-camera, shoots RAW and supports an external flash.

However, on average it has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 920k dots), is slightly larger (large 131x91x126 mm vs professional size 123x92x108 mm), takes slightly lower resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 10.6 MP), lacks a built in HDR feature and doesn't take 3D photos.
