The Fuji HS20EXR is a follow up to the popular Fuji HS10.  The HS20EXR features a whopping 30x zoom lens (24mm-720mm equivalent) and a 16MP CMOS sensor.  The HS20 also packs a 3-inch tilting LCD and an electronic viewfinder.  The HS20 can capture photos in RAW format.

In addition to capturing photos, the HS20 can capture 1080p HD video, and features a high-speed movie capture at 320fps.  For those wishing to add an external flash to the hot shoe, the HS20 now features TTL metering for auto-flash performance (unlike the HS10 which only triggered a “dumb” flash).  Fuji currently offers two compatible hot shoe flash for TTL metering with the HS20.

The HS20EXR is powered by AA batteries and will be available in March 2011 at an initial retail price of $499.95.  Check availability on Amazon.com.
