Choosing Between Fujifilm Finepix HS20, HS25 EXR & HS30 EXR

After shelling out for two extra X10 batteries (you WILL need them) and an extra batt for the XS-1, I agree I could have bought a PILE of Eneloops or simialr rechargeable / NiMH  AA batteries.  I've never owned a AA-powered camera, but for flashes (My EF20 and 42) the difference is quite noticeable in recycle time, and I will rarely have to buy AA's anymore.  After what I've spent on coppertops, they should GIVE me some stock in the company.

Rechargeable AA's are a 'duh, WHY didn't I do this sooner?' example for me.

All the Best,
