Iso 100-3200
You probably take more pictures than you realise in low light. And low light is exactly what conventional digital compacts can't cope with. They lack the sensitivity (a measure known in photography as ISO), and the consequence is a combination of the blur of slow shutter speeds and the rough-textured look of digital 'noise' (discoloured speckles appearing on the image). The F30 Zoom offers an unsurpassed full-resolution performance of ISO 3200, meaning that you can shoot with confidence in any light. What's more, the quality available at the lower sensitivities is truly staggering for such a small camera. Compared to digital compact cameras as of June 2006

580 shots per battery charge
One of digital photography's biggest frustrations is finding yourself with a perfectly good camera, but no remaining power. With an unsurpassed battery life of 580 shots per single charge, the F30 Zoom will outlast even the most devoted of photography addicts. Together with the impressive ISO of 3200, this means that the F30 Zoom can continue to shoot, night after day after night. *Compared to digital compact cameras as of June 2006

Real photo technology
Real Photo Technology is a combination of sensor, processor and lens, designed to give Fujifilm's top range of compacts the competitive edge. Not only does Real Photo Technology allow the F30 to reach its impressive ISO 3200 setting, but it also achieves colour accuracy, sharpness and tonal quality that outclass the rest of the class.

2.5 inch LCD monitor
The F30 Zoom's monitor is designed for fast, accurate viewing of your pictures. With an unsettlingly lifelike refresh rate of sixty frames per second (the previous top-end frame rate was 30 frames per second), there is little chance that the action will escape you. What is more, the anti-glare CV film coating will ensure that your images can be viewed in all kinds of lighting conditions.

Exceptional flash capability
Despite being a camera that can operate without needing to use flash, the F30 Zoom has some impressive abilities in the lighting department. It possesses a 'flash on, flash-off' shooting mode, which takes two pictures in quick succession, enabling you to compare the same scene taken with and without flash. Furthermore, its 'Intelligent Flash' mode exploits the camera's impressive light sensitivity to achieve balanced illumination between foreground subject and the background. No longer will you have to look at photographs of bleached-out people against pitch-black backgrounds.

6 million pixels
There are still people who believe that more pixels equal better image quality. However, most knowledgable photography enthusiasts have agreed that 6 million pixels represent a sufficiently large file size to achieve large prints. What really counts in delivering a high quality image is the quality of the sensor and the processing. When all work together well, such as with the F30 Zoom, it is a well-known fact that you can get achieve better image quality than 7 or 8 million pixel compacts. With the F30 Zoom recognised as 2006's TIPA Digital Compact Camera of the Year.
