This shot of a city-center
church demonstrates the FZ30's wide angle capabilities. The crops are sharp and detailed, but it's worth comparing the overall coverage with that of the Fujifilm S9500 taken from the same spot. The FZ30 composition is fine, but the S9500's wider angle allowed us to capture people sat outside the front. |

This photo of a market stall was
taken under dim lighting conditions. We wanted a large depth-of-field so
set the aperture to f8. At 100 ISO, the FZ30 metered an exposure of just 1/3 of a second which would normally be impossible to handhold. The FZ30's optical image stabilisation though has eliminated any camera shake, delivering a sharp result. To achieve a hand-holdable exposure with the non-stabilised Fujifilm S9500 we needed an ISO of 400, producing a noisier result - see here.

This photo of St Paul's
Cathedral from London's Millennium Bridge was taken on a sunny day with
the FZ30's zoom at an equivalent of 132mm. As you would expect with an ISO of 80 and aperture of f8, the crops are sharp, detailed and exhibit low noise levels, albeit not quite as smooth as the Fujifilm S9500 when viewed at 100%. |

This close-up shot of a leaf demonstrates
the FZ30's Macro facilities. It may not focus as close as Fujifilm's S9500, but in practice can still deliver very good results as pictured here. The crops show a high level of detail and low noise as you'd expect at 80 ISO. |

This shot of The City of London was
taken from the opposite side of The River Thames using the FZ30 zoomed-into
an equivalent of 350mm. With a maximum equivalent of 420mm at its disposal, it's possible to zoom-in even further. Once again the image stabilisation ensured camera shake at this high magnification wasn't an issue. As shown here and on the Features page, the stabilisation is one of the most impressive aspects of the FZ30, and is preferred to the high ISO solution provided by Fujifilm. |
