Need a new Point & Shoot Camera?

I predict this camera is going to sell like hotcakes! (photo copied from dpreview.com's website for your convenience)

This is the new Fujifilm F30 point & shoot digital camera. You can read all about it here: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0602/06021403fujif30.asp#images

This new camera has the ability to go to ISO 3200! What this means is that it will be able to take photos in existing ambient light even when the lighting is very low. You won't need a flash!

If you look at the two photos I shot of Gary Fong on this blog a couple of weeks ago, they were taken without a flash with the Fuji F10. The F30 is the new replacement model that is coming out soon. The Fuji cameras are known to have a terrific image sensor allowing for ultra-low light capabilities and also to help images look more natural with less "blow-out" of images when the light is too great. This is important when photographing brides with white dresses while outside. This is a main reason I shoot with the Fuji S3 Pro camera at weddings. It gives me the ability to get low light photos and also very bright light photos outside without fear of problems.

The F10 does this too and so will the new F30.

So if you are in the market for a new point and shoot camera, I'd suggest waiting just a little while longer and checking out this new F30. If you can't wait, I'd suggest getting an F10. Many professional photographers own the F10 as their point and shoot camera!
