Summary: In a league of its own
Comment: I got this camera about a month ago and I just took it with me on a little vacation to Mexico City. I took some amazing pictures. With some work and practice, you'll be able to get great pictures out of this little camera. ALL of my shots were taken without the flash. The natural looking pictures look so much more pleasant to me. I was even able to do hand held night scenes. This camera is well worth the money!

Summary: Stopped charging
Comment: After charging the battery less than 10 times the F30 can no longer be charged. The camera will work if connected to the wall but as soon as I disconnect it, it dies. So either the battery is dead or the cameras charge function is broken. Either way this is a terrible quality product and I regret not going with a Canon.

Summary: Met all of my travel needs!
Comment: Lightweight, compact, long battery life, 500+ photos with 1GB card. This camera performed well for close ups, landscapes, and with the housing, underwater. I also used the housing on the beach and sailing with good results. Viewfinder would be nice in bright sunlight, but managed to get good pictures without it.

Summary: Needs a view finder for outdoor use.
Comment: I've owned this camera for about 8 months. I use it primarily on mountain climbing trips. My only complaint is the lack of optical view finder. Unfortunately the relatively low resolution of the preview screen, makes it hard to lineup shots when using the zoom. (I end up with a lot of dark shots, because the light meter is off target.) Also, as mentioned in earlier reviews, the preview tends to "wash-out" on sunny days. Whenever the sun is out, the camera become more "point-n-pray", than "point-n-shoot". Otherwise the camera is extremely well designed, easy to use, and takes GREAT pictures.

Summary: A good camera with some disappointments
Comment: This camera performs very well at low light condition as described by others. Battery life is superb. The disappointed things are minor, but sometimes they can be very annoying: (1) It increases speed to achieve "Anti-blur" effect which is fine. But if you want to use this desirable function (in this mode), one cannot use manual or aperture priority, nor "Scene Position" mode. (2) Software design flaws: when viewing blow-upped pictures using the camera, one cannot advance. In addition, there is no date recorded ON each picture taken for replay/view or printing except when using Fuji's software for printing (I have not figured that out yet). This function has been standard for all the film cameras, but not this one. Very inconvenient for saving pictures in file (users need to type and label dates?).
After 6 months of rare usage, the lens stuck in the body. We have sent it for repair, and hope it can be fixed (under warranty).
