The future of digital photography has arrived. Equipped with a new "eye" and "brain", the new generation of Real Photo Technology from Fujifilm FinePix F30 captures the images you really want - with greater ease, in more situations, and with higher quality.

The 6th Generation Super CCD HR captures more light from the superb Fujinon lens more efficiently with less light loss, and sends the image to the processor with less noise. The RP Processor II featuring enhanced double noise reduction lets users take full advantage of the phenomenal ISO 3200 sensitivity of the FinePix F30. Other improvements include "Intelligent Flash" and upgraded signal processing for more accurate color reproduction.

All these enhancements add up to more stunning photos every time you press the shutter.

What can I say. Fantastic, fabulous, wonderful (no I don't work for the company that makes this). In the old days of "film" I had always been a fan of Fuji film (Kodak colour too bland and Eastman too green) but I had preferred Pentax and Cannon cameras. However everything has changed.

I cannot find anything major to fault about this camera itself only that at this price the least they could do would be to supply a memory card for the camera (and this is definitely the BIGGEST manual I have ever had to wade through for a camera).

Strangely enough I see there is now a 1Gb DX memory card available for the Fuji cameras but technology has not caught up with the add-ons because for a few of the accessories for this camera (as listed in the back of the manual) can only cope with up to 512mb DX card.

From what I have read it sound particularly sensitive to sand and water and this might just tempt me into buying the waterproof casing for "beach, snow and rain" pictures.

My final "gripe" would be that in the many available set settings you can take pictures in i.e. landscape, fireworks, portrait, snow, night time, etc. I think they missed out "silhouette" and "glass" (taking a picture through glass) and "sun" (taking a picture of someone into the sun).

It pays to shop around the internet. This was the cheapest site I found for this product with prices ranging from £217.38 (total) to over £280 and even up to £300 (July 2006).

Jargon Buster

AF Sensor

The sensor used to detect and help correct the focus in cameras equipped with an autofocus function.

Angle of View

The width of the area a lens can see; measured in degrees.

Apeture

An opening; this term is used interchangeably with f-stop to denote a camera's diaphragm opening.

Lens Aperture

The physical opening of a lens. The smaller the f/number the more light passes through.

AVI

Short for Audio Video Interleave; the file format for Microsoft's Video for Windows standard.

Definition

The clarity of detail in an image; dependent upon resolution (number of pixels) and contrast.

Depth of Field

Means of describing the area of a photograph that is in focus.

Dynamic Range

Refers to the gradations of light and dark that a digital camera can capture where details are neither washed out by light nor concealed by shadows.

Exposure

The amount of light that reaches the film; the combination of f-stop and shutter speed, which controls the amount of light that passes through the lens to the film.

File Format

A format for encoding visual information in a file; some common image file formats include TIFF, PICT, and EPS files.

Flash Cards/Memory

Flash card - A memory card that works with the flash memory, allowing the camera to retain data after the system has been turned off.Flash Memory - A memory chip that has the ability to retain image data even after the host system has been shut off; this feature insures that, even if the digital camera's batteries die, the image data will remain stored in the camera's memory.

Focal Length

The size of the angle of view of the lens, measured in millimeters. The smaller the number, the wider the lens. Zoom lenses have a range of focal lengths.

Focus

To move the lens or film/image sensor in order to record a sharp image. Auto focus - Camera feature that uses an infrared (IR) beam or sonar to set its focus.

F-Stop

A means of measuring the width of the diaphragm opening, which determines how much light passes through the lens. Smaller numbers in an f-stop correspond to wider lens openings; as the f-stop reading increases in number, the lens opening decreases inversely.

Image Stablization

Image stabilization, IS in short, helps to steady the image projected into the camera to compensate for hand shake. It differs from digital image stabilization found in most digital video cameras as the later involves manipulation of image pixels to create a stable video image.

LCD

Short for liquid crystal display; a small, flat, visual screen that employs liquid crystal technology in order to display images.

Lens

An optical device that focuses light rays. In cameras, the lens is the device on the front face (or in a tube extending from the front face) that gathers the incoming light and concentrates it so that it can be directed toward the film (in an optical camera) or the imaging device (in a digital camera).

Wide angle lens - A lens that has an angle of view greater than that of a standard lens and that is considered of short focal length. This kind of lens is usually employed to include more of a subject within the confines of the image frame.

Zoom lens - Lens with variable focal length within a certain range.Fixed focal lens - A lens in which the focus is preset and is not adjustable.

Fish Eye Lens - This is an extremely wide-angle lens. A fish-eye lens magnifies the parts of the image near the center of the image and reduces the parts that are far away from the center.Macro Lens - Lens that allows close photography; also called a close up lens.

Rangefinder

Device in some cameras used to measure the distance from the camera to the subject and that indicates when the subject is in focus.

Light Meter

A light-sensitive measuring device used to evaluate the amount of light focused on a subject in order to set the proper exposure.

Megapixel

A measurement of 1,048,576 pixels (approximately 1 million pixels).

Is one million pixels. The term is used in reference to the resolution of a digital camera. The larger the megapixel value the higher the quality. of the camera's output

Memory Stick

Sony Electronics-based storage media used predominantly in Sony's cameras, computers, and MP3 players.

Resolution

A measure of the proportion of the smallest individually accessible portion of a video image to the overall size of the image. The higher the resolution, the finer the detail that can be discerned.

White Balance

This is the balancing of color components to create pure white when scanning a white object.

Digital Zoom

Uses digital technology to enlarge an image. Digital zoom does not have moving parts. It is the electronic enlarging of the middle of an image. The pixels at the center portion of the CCD are digitally doubled to make the image appear larger on the display.

Optical Zoom

Optical zoom magnifies the size of an image by adjusting the lens. Unlike digital zoom, optical zoom enlarges the subject without sacrificing resolution.
