Find the cheapest FujiFilm FinePix F30
Fuji FinePix F30

Overview

Poor light is bad news for most digital compact cameras so it is not suprising that FujiFilm have tapped into the market by introducing the FinePix F30 Zoom’s amazing picture quality is at its most distinctive when the light is low. Not only is its range of light sensitivities unsurpassed in a compact digital camera, but its 580-shot battery life means that you won’t have to limit the amount you use it.

Review

The FinePix F30 is a users dream for night-time photography, capturing all the goings on; no matter how dim the conditions are.

The picture quality is sharp and bright in the day, but this snapper really shines bright in the night. By pushing up the ISO setting and you can take pictures with a minimum of random dots, without using the flash. It is easy and simple to operate, however for the more adventurous there is the aperture and shutter speed settings and a good selection of scene modes. The shutter fires up in two seconds and is fast enough for action shots. The battery performance is excellent each charge gives you up to 580 shots.

However, although it has a lot of likeable features, we can’t help wishing that it could be little more attractive and less bulky. Also it’s not the cheapest camera on the market so if you can dig deep into you pockets then it could certainly prove to be worthwhile.
