Has anyone got hands-on experience of one of these? My faithful S9600 was stolen a fortnight ago and on a like-for-like basis the insurance company is sending an HS20.
The S9600 was Fuji’s top of the range bridge camera of four or five years ago, and a great all-rounder, although the autofocus was far too slow to track an aircraft in mid-display. If Fuji’s publicity material is to be believed, the HS20 is the best thing since sliced bread, but then they would say that. On-line discussion groups mutter about possibly spurious overheating alarms, but I’d be interested to hear from any who’s actually got one on this forum.
If it arrives on schedule on Friday I’ll probably be found lurking around the perimeter of Liverpool airport over the weekend looking like a kid with a new toy:D

The camera arrived yesterday, so hopefully I’ll give it a try this weekend.

the spurious ‘overheating’ alarm can be fixed by a download, newer product off the line should have it already installed. Let me know how you get on with the HS20, I’m thinking of buying one as I just can’t afford a DSLR plus batch of lenses.
