low cost hs series, in my own opinion has the legendary Fuji colors, very beautiful. In terms of zoom, you've to have a super steady hand to handle the zoom, otherwise, need tripod. For this one, your photos can turn out either super lousy or very nice. Very bad in low light, great in bright light but tons of purple fringing. And so on.. lazy to point out, I'm not a pro reviewer hehe.

Hi Kei1309
Thanks for reply, actually I purchased a D90 kit, during our previous discussion, now I have developed interest in Bird Photography and do not have budget for Nikon 80-400 VR lens, so want a camera with longer zoom range, that is why I have posted here to get expert views from Clubsnap member friends.
Fuji HS 50 test report is not available on DP reveiw.

Thanks

Good luck with that! Btw why do you absolutely need a 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED for birding?

@ageha - I know that a 300 mm prime with TC combination is the best for Bird photography, but when you have a low budget , you have to go for atleast a Nikon 80-400 lens, that is why I have mentioned that due to low budget I can not go for a 80-400 now, and I am planning for a bridge camera.

Buy a cheap m43 camera and a Panasonic 100-300mm which equals a 200-600mm. It has a larger sensor and will give you better results on a low budget.

Or if you don't want extra systems, just stick with the 80-400
