.... if what you're saying is accurate.. and if the source is accurate, then I don't have my hopes up that the HS50 will come with superior glass than what is found in the HS30.

Glass first and foremost is the foundation of a clear sharp image. imho. The sensor behind it plays a close secondary role... but a secondary role non the less. Things like noise control... pixel resolution.. etc. But the glass in my opinion is the ultimate arbitrator of a crisp clear sharp picture.

While I acknowledge The HS series for superior low light capability when shot under appropriate settings .... I can not endorse the glass as being anything other than mediocre when it is put up against the FZ150's, P510's of the world. I am really REALLY hoping the HS50 will somehow pull off a miracle by putting a nice S100fs type sharp lens. (fingers crossed).
