Fujifilm reveals HS30EXR 30x CMOS superzoom with Raw

Pre-CES: Fujifilm has revealed the HS30EXR, the latest in its range of Raw-capable EXR superzoom cameras. The HS30 features a redesigned 16MP back-lit CMOS sensor and gains a series of improvements over the existing HS20 model.

It retains the 24-720mm equivalent, F2.8-5.6 lens.
