Hello again, first results look promising, I see no vignetting between 70 mm and 110 mm. But the actual magnification factor with the 30-110 zoom seems to be substantially smaller, about 1.38,...

Hello, hereby I would like to add experience with another TC. Used for a while the very good Nikon TC-E15ED with my Fuji HS 20. See the thread http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/42106283 Front...

Placed 19^th in the challenge. Captured in Botanic Garden Marburg, a young song thrush.

Hello,I'd like to add examples of a 24 MB RAF file, not from the HS30EXR but from my HS20EXR, but this should be quite similar, as I used the last version of Silkypix RFC for HS30 and ACR 6.7,...

Hello,there is another solution in the settings, I found out with my HS 20.The EXR SN mode, which is limited to DR100, gives you 12 MB Raw files, when you shoot JPEG+RAW.When you want only the 12MB...

Hello Ken,thank you very much for the extensive answer and the informations you have given. I admit that in comparison the detail of the Canon pictures is somewhat finer.In the moment I'm...

Hello,I'm working since about two months with the Nikon TC-E15ed on my HS20.Still improving the results, mainly because of the difficulty to keep the camera steadywith the resulting 1000mm focal...

Just one hint to avoid the magenta tint:It is common with Fuji cameras, I fond it with the E900, S6000, S100fs, F200, HS20exr to give a blueish or magenta tint when set in daylight to WB auto or...

You sure are right, the man is the artist, not the tool.Nevertheless in this forum also the tools are compared, and it's most important, to watch the people with the really good results use their...

Hello,I would like to add my point of view to the latest discussion about the limited full zoom focus reach of the Fuji superzooms compared to other newer cameras (e.g. Nikon P510 with 1000mm, Sony...

Hello again, Sorry, I've uploaded the wrong one. This one is the best of the series of the dead ore nearly dead dragonfly.HG

Placed 67^th in the challenge. Small bird, seemes to be a song thrush, restig and recovering after rain, so I culd get quite near. Old botanical Garden Merburg.

And this is one shot from my HS20. SOOC.HG

Hello,Nice shots. I think, you should correct CA, I use PTLens, works well. I wonder, how the dragonfly has let you get so close.I did it once for myself, but looking at the pictures at home, I...

Correct me if I'm wrong. The HS25 should be the HS20 with the new and perhaps somewhat improved sensor, but nothing else changed, except lacking raw. Perhaps a bit faster writing times. Or is there...

Hello,as I read this long thread only now about "poor quality" of HS30 bird shots, compared to Canon SX40 pictures, I wanted to add a new one, taken last weekend, cloudy wheather, hand held. The...

This is a problem I wanted to post already several weeks ago.I own and use a HS20 since two months. As I am used to shoot mainly raw with my old S100fs, was satisfied with the results with ACR 6.2...

It's me to blame for being not clear enough.Of course a sewing machine powered by an electric motor is a good old machine, as well any big industrial machines, lathes, printing machines and so on,...
