Fuji FinePix F30 digital camera

The F30 is just on the chunky side of being very compact indeed, as if it's been affected by a little middle age spread. A slight portliness across its belly, just round the lens housing gives it the look of a well dressed gent having had one good...

Great build and compact design, fast operation, good image quality, “World First” 3200 ISO at full resolution, simple to use

No optical viewfinder, detail loss at highest ISO settings from noise reduction processing

The F30 won TIPA’s Best Compact Digital Camera in Europe award and on this performance I can see why. Neat handling, design and specification further enhance a World first in terms of that high ISO capability. Yes, there are a couple of omissions; no...

Fuji Finepix F30

Six megapixels, a three times zoom lens, good indoors and straightforward. If this sounds like the camera you are looking for then the Fuji Finepix F30 Review is worth further investigation.

Indoor photos ; Photos at higher ISO levels ; Build quality

Small built in memory

The Fuji Finepix F30 is a likeable digital camera. It is one of the few stylish models offering some basic manual exposure controls. It is also well equipped to handle lowlight situations better than most of its rivals.

Fuji FinePix F30

An award-winning compact, the Fujifilm FinePix F30 is a real all-rounder. It has great design and superb build, excellent image quality, fast operation and a "world first" of 3200 ISO light-sensitivity at full resolution - ideal in low light. Quite...

Fuji FinePix F30 Digital Camera Review

The Fujifilm FinePix F30 is a compact 6.3-megapixel camera with a 3x zoom lens that produces sharp, clean images and has an impressive maximum ISO rating of 3200. Originally launched at $349, this compact camera can now be picked up for around $260

The F30 is small and light; just over an inch thick and 2.2 inches high. It weighs in at just over 5 ounces, and the metal case feels robust - this isn't a camera that's going to crack from sitting in a book bag. On the back of the case is a 2.5-inch...

Fuji Finepix F30

The Fuji Finepix F30 is an exceptional ultra-compact digital camera which delivers high-quality images with incredibly low image noise. This is the first non-SLR to produce usable images up to ISO 3200, enabling new photographic opportunities. Even...

High-ISO performance rivals DSLR, Accurate exposure and focus, Fantastic battery life, Fast and responsive

Limitations in continuous shooting modes, LCD hard to see in very bright light, No optical viewfinder, Purple fringing

The Fuji Finepix F30 is an excellent ultra-compact. With its extremely low-noise images, good lens sharpness, great exposure accuracy, good speed of operation, stellar battery-life, none of its shortcomings can undermine its ability to produce...

Consumer review (epinions.com)

Even better value than you think...

Later addition to this review : The camera is particularly good for kiddy pics because of it's extreme light-sensitivity, and thereby fast shutter speed (anti-blur). However I had thought that the shutter-delay, which is average-good, merited a 4 ...

Good Value and now cheap, quality of flash-less pics, expensive feel, expensive looking results

No histogram, contrast too high, artificial fuji restrictions on settings
