LAS VEGAS--CES 2013 FinePix announcements mostly center around megazoom cameras, though, headlined by the FinePix HS50EXR. Building off 2012's HS30EXR and its 30x, f2.8-5.6, 24-720mm lens, the HS50EXR gets a 42x f2.8-5.6 24-1000mm lens.

Fujifilm FinePix SL1000
If having the longest lens is what's most important for you, there's the new FinePix SL1000. This camera features a 50x f2.9-5.6 24-1200mm. It's motorized (controls on top and on the lens barrel) as opposed to the manual zoom on the HS50EXR, and uses a 16-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor instead of a higher-end Fujifilm EXR CMOS sensor.
