Introduction

The Z30 is a very compact, fairly inexpensive, 10-megapixel point-and-shoot that will be available soon from Fujifilm for around $180. We got our hands on a bright orange model at PMA in Las Vegas and the little Z30 showed us a couple of surprises. The camera is loaded with automatic controls, playback effects, continuous shooting features, and numerous self-timer modes. It also has a 3x optical zoom and a fairly unique style that should generate significant buzz.
