QUOTE(Silencers @ Apr 3 2006, 03:18 PM) I'm not exactly hyped up about the F30. I don't know about Fuji's latest CCD's lah, but from what I saw on the Fuji s9500, a shot at ISO1600 has very rough and jagged edges. Not much noticeable noise, but the jaggedness kinda suggest poor image processing quality. dude, the F10's ISO800 owned the competition's ISO 400. Sure, the S9000 may not have been quite as good but it was still leaps ahead of the competition. Which would you rather have? Some jagged edges at ISO3200 or no photo at all? As for your supposed 'flaws' of the F30, you just have to consider the target market. The casual shooter who is most likely to buy this mostly couldnt be bothered with a poor burst mode (they are most likely to chimp after every shot anyway) or conversion lenses. Not to mention the fact that most of these ppl wont bother printing bigger than 4x6 anyway which pretty much does away with any of the high ISO shortcomings.But of course, this is a great turn of events as Fuji has just set the bar higher for many compact 'stylish' digicam makers. I bet Canon and Nikon just got their work cut out for them. [oh, hello A700!] If ISO is all that matters, I beg to differ. It's got a poor burst mode of 2.2fps, which is good lah, but for only 3 frames. Zoom isn't that impressive either. It's still bound by the common 5cm macro. Not to mention that I can't attach any accessory conversion lenses or filters to it. It also runs on Li-On, which is a major turn-off for me [in terrms of compacts, that is. prosumers and dSLRs lain cerita]. And lastly, the xD picture card. Less versatility, despite it's high speed. I can't plug it straight into my phone if there's a picture I want to send via MMS. [Don't even think of suggesting that I use my phone's camera, LOL. Defeats the entire purpose.] It's only selling point is its ISO 3200. But even so, what's the point if the image quality is poor?

QUOTE(Silencers @ Apr 5 2006, 03:08 PM) Ok fine, I admit my arguments are flawed since I have not seen the performance at ISO 3200. I'll swallow my words if it does awe me. when u bash a camera with flawed arguments, isnt that trolling?  QUOTE(xander83 @ Apr 6 2006, 10:45 AM) u r juz assumin f30 it's better Its a reasonable assumption given the technology in hand. I mean, are you expecting the next gen Canon CMOS to be worse than the current ones?This post has been edited by BurgaFlippinMan: Apr 6 2006, 11:14 AM |

QUOTE(Silencers @ Apr 6 2006, 01:56 PM) burga: exactly. dont you think that post could have induced anger among the Fuji users? especially considering its a flawed argument? you may not have meant it, but it certainly could have been read that way. That's how wikipedia defines a troll. I certainly didn't comment to induce anger. anyway enough of this. cheerios!  This post has been edited by BurgaFlippinMan: Apr 6 2006, 02:54 PM |
