Considering picking up one of these maxi superzooms. Reviews are mixed - any hands-on experience?
I just took my HS20EXR out on a two week tour through several southern US states and arrived back home in Germany today. I shot about 3000 frames and kept about 200 of them. If there's any interest, I could file an extensive report with plenty of examples in the travel image section. All in all, I was quite pleased with the performance of the camera. I use my all my EXR cameras with M resolution (so they sensor can work its "magic") and I found that best results with the HS20 will be achieved be setting noise reduction to "low".
I have the HS20 and the best recommendation is to set it to 8MP for the EXR sensor and you get awesome shots out of it.
I'm selling mine which is only a couple of months old for $400 including postage. If your interested? You can ask Kyteflyer how often I change cameras and so the reason for selling mine is that I have decided to go smaller for a holiday.
Since Amazon sells brand new HS20EXR cameras for $375 with free shipping, you might want to reconsider this price tag of yours.
Maybe not, but we can and do buy from DWI, and from there, I can get it new and shipped for under $400.We don't get Amazon free shipping here in Aust???
Good idea. I have kept many of mine for that very reason. The base price at DWI is $336 at the moment, thats why I'm considering it. Its well under retail in au.Wow, the price has dropped a bit, I might keep mine then, not worth selling it for nothing I guess, it can be a standby camera
