Reviews of the Fujifilm FinePix F30
-
CNET Review
The Good: Produces usable shots, without digital noise, even at high ISO 1,600 and ISO 3,200 sensitivity levels; aperture- and shutter-priority modes; versatile 2.5-inch LCD.
The Bad: Noticeable fringing in photos; lens could be wider.
The Bottom Line: Low-light shooters will love that the Fujifilm FinePix F30's screen actually lets you see through the darkness and that its high ISOs produce usable photos with acceptable levels of noise.
