Fujifilm FinePix F30 purple fringing comparison
 |
|
To measure and compare the Fujifilm FinePix F30's purple fringing caused by lens chromatic aberrations and sensor
blooming, we photographed a test chart with areas of very high contrast
using it and a number of rival models.
We used the built-in lenses at their widest and longest focal lengths with
the apertures wide open. The crops are taken
from the upper left corner of the chart and presented here at 100%.
In this particular test, the Fujifilm F30 performed similarly to the Canon A640 and Sony N2, with all three exhibiting roughly similar degrees of coloured fringing at their focal extremes; note the Panasonic TZ1 is impressively bereft of almost any fringing. |

Fujifilm FinePix F30 macro comparison
 |
|
To measure and compare the Fujifilm FinePix F30's macro performance we photographed
a custom chart using it and a number of rival models with their bundled
lenses.
Each camera was positioned at a distance and set to a focal length which
delivered the maximum possible reproduction.
The dark lines are 10mm apart and the result is not cropped. Smaller areas
are preferred in this test.
The image left was taken with the Fujifilm FinePix F30 in its Macro mode. |

Max area of 56x42mm |

Switch the FinePix F30 to macro mode and you can focus as close as 5cm with the lens set to wide angle. From this distance the F30 captured an area measuring 28x21mm, which while slightly better than the Sony N2, is behind that of the Panasonic TZ1 and particularly the Canon A640. |
