What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.5 for now.

What customers like about Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR

  • A 30 x optical zoom reaches distant subjects from one body.
  • 11 fps continuous shooting catches fast action.
  • 600 shots per charge by the CIPA test covers a full day out.
  • Sensor-shift stabilization steadies handheld shots.
  • The flip-out screen makes low and high angles easy.
  • Focus bracketing takes a series of shots at different focus points.

What customers don't like about Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR

  • At 687 g it is heavy to carry on a long walk.
  • The electronic viewfinder has 920000 dots, so the image looks coarse.
  • No weather sealing, so rain needs care.
  • No Wi-Fi, so moving photos to a phone takes extra steps.
  • No touchscreen, so every setting runs through buttons and menus.

Verdict

The Fujifilm FinePix HS35EXR is built for people who want one camera that reaches a long way. Its 30 x optical zoom is the main draw, and it shoots 11 frames per second, fast enough to catch a runner or a bird in flight. The battery lasts 600 shots by the CIPA test, so a full day out rarely means hunting for a charger. Sensor-shift stabilization steadies the picture at full zoom, and the flip-out screen helps with shots from low or high angles. The trade-off is weight and size. At 687 g it is heavy for a long walk, and the electronic viewfinder has only 920000 dots, so the image in it looks coarse. It suits a family traveller or a keen beginner who wants reach and does not mind carrying a larger camera.
