Fujifilm Finepix F30 Compact Digital Camera Review

Some cameras are better at coping with image noise than others, and all the main manufacturers claim to have made big improvements, but in truth only one manufacturer has made any real strides in this particular area and that is Fujifilm. Back in May I reviewed the Finepix F11, which was new at the time and offered a maximum ISO setting of 1600 and was actually usable at that setting, producing about the same noise levels as most other cameras do at 400 ISO.

This week I’ve got the latest in the F series, the F30, which goes one stop further with a maximum ISO setting of 3200 and is the only compact camera on the market that can make that claim.

The Finepix F30 is a stylish, efficient and easy-to-use compact camera with excellent picture quality, a useful range of features and outstanding performance, but even these qualities are overshadowed by its amazing low-light performance. It has easily the best high-ISO picture quality of any compact camera on the market, and is perfect for shooting pictures at any social occasion. While not exactly cheap, it does offer unique abilities that you won’t find anywhere else.
