I am about 99.5 percent certain that the 24-1000mm zoom lens will CREEP on the HS50 EXR, question is by how much and how bad?
Incidentally, there is absolutely nor reason for any zoom lens to creep whatsoever, internal zoom mechanism zoom optics have been out and in wide use for some 65 years already.
It is only for saving a few meager buckaroos that the photo lens mfrs are resorting to this laughable telescoping trombone type of a lens design. It actually looks rather grotesque when you see someone pumping the poor lens barrel in and out, in and out constantly, ayyayay!!!
Meanwhile.... if you use just about any INTERCHANGEABLE LENS CAMERA out there, you shall have plenty of choices of proper, professional internal zoom mechanism lenses that will not pump out, creep out, fall out whenever you tilt the poor camera. Nor will it sag or droop when in telephoto setting, like did the first batch of the X-S1s.
A lot of folks still seem to have a whole lot of confidence in Fujifilm, build quality -- what I can't figure out is why? I mean, it took them 18 months to make the X-S2 a quality that it should have been the day if was first released. Frankly, I would hate to be anybody's Beta tester. Why don't they do that work in-house BEFORE they start selling to us the wretched things, huh?
Finally, regarding the video, it is obviously doing more damage than good. Frankly, it looks like that it is the pair of Fujiguys themselves who are designing, promoting, and selling these cameras right out of their studio/garage. "Made in Japan" -- my foot.

for our poor Fuji guys friends..But coming from automotive world, one thing I was thinking,even when they show a pre production/test car on the track, you still would not be aspect to see the car come to a stop, or taking the corner, for instance, and watch the head lights falling off the car or even loosing a bumper let's say....:-(
