In this section we present pros and cons of Fujifilm FinePix HS10.

Tilting screen

Fujifilm FinePix HS10 has a 3.0" Tilting screen with 230k dot resolution which is quite low by today's standards. Tilting screen makes this camera very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting.

Electronic Viewfinder

Camera has a built-in Electronic viewfinder. It has a 97% coverage.

BSI-CMOS Sensor

Fujifilm FinePix HS10 features a 10.3 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 6,400.

The camera has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Camera can take pictures up to 3648 x 2736 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolutions like 3648 x 2432, 3648 x 2056, 2592 x 1944, 2592 x 1728, 2592 x 1440, 2048 x 1536, 2048 x 1360, 1920 x 1080 with 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios.
