Fujifilm FinePix F30 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Fujifilm FinePix F30. Note: The F30's successor, the F31fd is identical other than the addition of face detection.There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

Good points

Good results at high ISO: 800 & 1600 are usable
Great battery life
Natural results with flash
Good build quality and quick handling

Bad points
Not the slimmest compact around
Aperture and Shutter priority share dial position
On-screen tonal range sometimes limited
3200 ISO pushes too far, but 1600 still good
