Conclusion
The Fujifilm FinePix HS30EXR super-zoom camera is a rather modest upgrade of its predecessor, but it does address some of the main problems that afflicted the HS20EXR, most notably the incredibly long image processing speeds for RAW files and continuous shooting. You could argue that these issues shouldn't have been present in the HS20 at all, but at least Fujifilm have addressed them in this latest iteration, along with adding a much improved electronic viewfinder, better image quality and greatly extended battery life.
