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.

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?

for example you can go to dpreview's review of F10 & compare it to it's review on lumix FX9. noise on the pana is more to my eyes anyway but maybe fuji's one is a bit softer. furthermore F11 is supposed to be slightly better than F10 & F30 is even more better in terms of noise so go figure...

u r juz assumin f30 it's better

i think u go try it out better u will change ur mind then

anyway fx9 not that fantastic 2 me 2 pana lumix range is losin out terribly 2 other makers

the only differences between F10 and F11 are the LCD pixels,Shutter/Apperture priority......
and between F11 and F30 are the ISO,Shutter speed,metering,LCD pixels

F10 was announced at Feb 05 while F11 at Sept 05 and F30 at Feb 06.....
so i guess the next is F40 at sept 06  sweat.gif
