The [tag]Fuji FinePix F30[/tag] has a smoother, more refined shape than the F10 and it’s 
actually a shade lighter (6.8 ounces with battery and xD Picture Card versus 7.2). Measuring 3.6 x 2.2 x 1.1 (WHD, in inches), the all-metal F30 is about the size of a proverbial pack of playing cards. You’d have no problem toting this one around all day, or taking it to a party to grab candids of your friends doing things they’d like to forget the next day.
The front is a fairly standard, with a clean look featuring a minimum of self-serving decals, logos and nomenclature. It’s dominated by a 3x Fujinon zoom lens with a built-in lens cover. This lens is comparable to 36-108mm in 35mm terms, the power of most point-and-shoot cameras. Although O.K., 4x or 6x would be much appreciated by even the most casual shooter. Canon’s popular PowerShot A series have 4x optical zooms and they’re top sellers. Are consumers saying something here? Be that as it may, the front of the F30 also has an AF Assist lamp, a tiny mic and flash. One of the new features of this model is i-Flash that adjusts the level of light output, depending on the subject. We’ll talk more about this in the Performance section.
The top of the camera is nicely laid out with a large shutter button, a mode dial and a power key. Like so many other power keys, it’s small and slightly recessed so make sure your nails aren’t trimmed too short. The mode dial has the usual options such as Auto, Movie, Aperture/Shutter Priority and Manual. The more unique settings include Natural Light for shooting in low light, a feature we liked so much with the original F10. This also gives access to myriad scene modes such as Portrait, Snow, Museum and others There’s also an Anti Blur setting to deal with fast-moving kids or pets. This changes the shutter speed to capture subjects on the go. Like other anti-blur techniques, it’s a pale shadow of any digicam that uses optical image stabilization such as Panasonic Lumix models or the Canon PowerShot SD700 IS.
