Fujifilm Finepix F30 Digital Camera User Review
The Fujifilm FinePix F30 is the successor to the popular FinePix F10 compact released last year. The F10 was frequently noted by users to have good performance in low light (or “available light”) environments. The F30 continues down this road by offering several features designed to (1) maximize the use of available ambient lighting and to (2) minimize reliance on the flash as a way to illuminate the scene being photographed. The result is hopefully an attractive picture that captures the mood of the scene better than ordinary compact digital cameras.
