After much research I just recently purchased what has proven to be a very
versatile camera in the relative new class called 'super zooms'. It is a
Fujifilm HS30EXR. It has a zoom that goes from 24mm-720mm (believe it or not!)
and has fully manual controls, yet it is MUCH smaller and lighter than a digital
SLR (because the lens is not interchangeable) although it won't fit in your
pocket. It's not perfect (none are) but I've gotten nice general photos, photos
of grandkids playing sports (it can shoot 6 frames a second), and it takes HD
video. I have also just finished shooting both a set of layout photos and a set
of close-ups of a scratchbuilding project both for publication using the manual
controls. The pictures are crisp and clear with good color rendition. I
hesitated because Fujifilm is not one of the bigger brands, but the reviews were
good and it has a nice set of features overall. I've been very happy so far.
I almost bought a Fuji HS10 about a year ago, before I decided to have my S9000
repaired at KEH. Another list member had expressed disatisfaction with the slow
shutter response time for some of his action photography.
However, a family friend obtained one and is happy with it. I believe it will
do the job and almost wish I had bought one myself. There is nothing wrong with
Fuji optics as far as I am concerned, and I liked the idea of the 24-720mm
lense, but I am satisfied with the S9000 and see no reason to replace it at
this time. I also like the larger viiewfinder of the HS10
