Remarkable technology
Date of Review: Aug 2, 2006
I've had the f30 for 2 weeks and I really like it. I take it everywhere in my pocket (a 3x6 inch plastic snack bag protects the screen from scratches).
This a remarkable piece of technology. The images are as sharp as many larger and more expensive digital camera but pictures at the ASA 3200 are grainy. The power engineering is amazing...daily pictures for a week without recharging.
The camera controls are are good as possible with a tiny camera. If you have trouble holding this tiny camera, try using a $4 Sunpak FlexLeg Tripod(see epinion review)as a grip. The minimal shutter delay is a welcome improvement over older digital cameras. The auto mode takes great pictures in many different lighting conditions. The double picture mode, one with flash and one without, is great for the many picture when you're not sure whether to use fill flash. The museum mode, no sound no flash, is great for stealth photography.
Everyone who I have allowed to use the f30 wants to buy one. Some of my photos with the F30 can be seen at: http://www.wunderground.com/wximage/imagesearch.html?handle=ImageMD&handlebox=1&submit=go
