Overall, if you read reviews on the internet, in the US and Europe the Fujifilm Finepix F30 is rated as the best compact digital camera. Superb ISO, a usable 3200 ISO, low light performance, manual controls and very very low noise performance. Just check the following sites: www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/fuji_f30.html www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/F30/F30A.HTM www.dcresource.com/reviews/fuji/finepix_f30-review/ www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmf30/ www.digitalcamerainfo.com/content/Fujifilm-FinePix-F30-Digital-Camera-Review.htm www.pcpro.co.uk/shopper/pcpro-reviews/92163/fujifilm-finepix-f30-zoom.html I had this camera on my shortlist too (and recently did a comparison, that's why I can give you the links of the reviews without much searching), but chose the Sony DSC W100, mainly because I like Sony's color reproduction better...and its looks, but technically the Fujifilm is way better, in a class of its own, images sharper at ISO settings 400, 800, 1600 and 3200. Mind that sharpness and low noise is mainly an issue if you make large prints. While you're browsing those sites you can compare different camera's, test pictures and features. You might want to look for reviews of the Sony DSC W100, Canon SD 600 and SD 550 too. |
