Excellent performing, well thought out little camera

Strengths: High quality photos, even in dim light. Fast and response shutter. Quick auto focus. Nice color and skin tones.

Weakness: Like all small cameras, uncomfortable for someone with large hands.

Sorry CNet reviewers, but I don't see any meaningful purple fringing. With that said, let me begin. I'm an SLR guy going back to the Nikons that are gathering dust in my closet. Over the last year or so, I switched to digital and currently use a Finepix S9000. If you don't drop the apeture below 5.6 and do some lab work, it does a very nice job. It doesn't risk getting dust on the sensor and...

F30 - In a Class of its Own

Strengths: LONG battery life, manual settings, excellent low light performance, great picture quality and movie mode.

Weakness: xD card format, weak plastic cover over the ports, proprietary a/v port.

STRENGTHS: This camera is AWESOME for a point and shoot. I tested it out for the last couple of days in indoor, lowlight settings, and the camera captures sharp, clean images that my old cameras (Sony Cybershot DSC-P2, Nikon 7900) could never do. Hence the reason why I bought the camera. Not to be understated, but the outdoor,sunlit pictures were outstanding as well. It was definitely worth it,...

Fuji F30

Strengths: - great price ($50 rebate thru Jan) - compact design - long battery life (500+ shots) - excellent low light capability - very good image quality - solid design, good build quality (w/one exception)

Weakness: - Would be nice if they had a bigger zoom (only 3x zoom) - Would be nice if they had wider lense - flimsy USB/AC cover - some purple fringing

This is my first digital camera & I'm not disappointed. I read a lot of reviews before choosing to buy the F30 and it's lived up to the hype. For me, I wanted to get a dig cam that was compact enough to fit in my jean pockets, but still be large enough to easily hold when taking pictures & have an excellent battery life. The F30 excels in both areas with 500+ shots at night with its propietary...

Good for specific low light uses, not so outstanding...

Strengths: Fast startup. Minimal shutter lag. Nice LCD resolution with anti-glare screen. Battery lasts roughly 500 shots! Excellent video (in stereo). Best low light camera for "still life" pics.

Weakness: Flash recharging doesn't keep pace on a series of quick pics. Needs TRUE image stabilization. BAD redeye problem. Port cover doesn't move aside for connections — might eventually twist off and break!

To start off, I've been shooting digitally for about seven years. While I presently own Panasonic and Olympus cameras, I've also used the Fuji F10 and F20, Canon cameras, etc. A unique F30 feature is the Natural Light + Flash mode. It takes a natural light picture first, followed by a typical flash shot (prepare to keep that hand steady until both pictures are complete!). Over the holidays, I...

Fuji Finepix f30

Strengths: small, excellent pictures, high iso (3200), flash that works as advertised, gorgeous LCD.

Weakness: Still uses XD cards instead of SD or Compact Flash. Hard to find a case that fits it like a glove. No viewfinder.

I have owned a lot of digital cameras and they have come and gone. Now, I only have this F30 and my Canon 20D. This is the perfect compliment to a digital SLR for those occassions that you can not carry the big one. Excellent everyday camera that provides beautiful pictures. Biggest advantage is the High ISO (3200) and the excellent iflash. I have owned the F10 and this is better in most ways...

decent upgrade to f10

Strengths: metalic body, usable iso 800, compact, long batt life, high res 2.5" display, no dongle required for direct usb con.

Weakness: flimsy batt and usb/av cover.

Even if you already own fuji f10, you will find f30 a worthy upgrade. ISO 800 is usable even for 8.5x11 print. This alone is a good enough reason for an upgrade. Things such as longer battery life, higher resolution display, and direct connect for usb are just extra. like f10, f30's pictures usually come out not too oversaturated and detailed enough to fit my taste. Even though it's rated for 6.3...

Finepix F30 Digital Camera

Strengths: Camera is great quality picture and battery life. Clear and good quality avi movie also.

This is my 4th digital cameras past few years. I really recommend you this one. Nice picture quality, easy to use for beginner. Battery life is really long. I charged battery only 3 times about 3month. Movie also very clean and good quality.

High quality photo, especially shoot in dark

Strengths: Excellent picture quality, especially at night.

Weakness: Built-in 10mb memory is unnecessary. Rubber USB connector cover (port) on the side of the camera is awful.

This is my 3rd Fuji finepix digital camera. I bought F30 because i compared picture quality. F30 is better quality than others. The packet size is more sqaure, similar to my first Fuji F40i, when I put inside my packet it won't show out at all. ISO 3200 mode is amazing innovation for such a compact camera. I think Fuji is only one has this mode currently. That's why all night pictures came out...

Fiji FinePix F30 Camera

Strengths: Solid metal case, with even weight distribution. Resolution upgade and an increase ISO rating.

Weakness: Plastic battery cover (no problems with past models with same type of cover). Rubber USB connector cover (port) on the side of the camera, awkward to try and hold open to connect the cable.

This the third Fiji digital I've purchased. The A303, the F10 and now the F30. I been very satisfied with the improvements to the F30 over the F10. My main concern with the F10 was the flash system and the inability to decrease the amount of "white out". I have found the new F30's multiple settings (including manual) has resolved the aforestated problem

True quality camera for a great price!!!

Strengths: Great picture quality. Build is solid. Manual controls. Super-long battery life. Great price even before $50 rebate.

Weakness: Flash pictures can be somewhat overexposed in certain situations.

I bought this camera for my wife in Nov.'06 and have used it extensively for the past several months. I got a great deal for slightly less than $200 after the $50 rebate from Fujifilm. I spent a lot of time researching different digital cameras in the compact to ultra-compact range and the F30 seemed to be the unsung hero of the pack and we have not been disappointed in the least since the...

Fujifilm Finepix F30

Where most compact cameras offer light sensitivity settings of up to ISO 400 and occasionally 800, the Fujifilm Finepix F30 can shoot up to an equivalent of ISO 3200, a level not seen on many professional digital SLRs, let alone consumer cameras. In layman’s terms, this means that the 6.3-megapixel F30 lets you shoot in very low light (say, at a birthday party) without having to turn on the...

Fujifilm FinePix F30

If your photographic needs gravitate toward low-light situations, the Fujifilm FinePix F30 is worth a look. It delivers very good picture quality with low levels of noise and has very good battery life. However, those advantages are somewhat offset by some inflexibility.

Fujifilm FinePix F30

A little pricey, but a sharp, bright LCD and very high ISO setting (3200) are pluses. Offers some manual controls.

DCRP Review: Fuji FinePix F30

It's not very often where I really become fond of a camera that I review. Usually this happens with expensive digital SLRs that I can only dream about. This time around, I fell in love with a compact camera -- the Fuji FinePix F30. While it's not quite perfect, the F30 won me over with its great high ISO performance, battery life, LCD, and manual controls. It's a camera that I can recommend...

Fujifilm FinePix F30 Digital Camera Review

This 6.3-megapixel compact digital camera follows up last year’s F10, which produced very little noise and clean pictures. The F10 was one of the first compact digital cameras to add higher ISO sensitivities. Since then, most manufacturers have added to the higher end of the range.
