Fuji FinePix Z30
Digital Camera Review
Mar 07, 2009
- By Jeremy Stamas
The Z30 is a very compact, fairly inexpensive, 10-megapixel point-and-shoot that will be available soon from Fujifilm for around $180. In our time with a pre-production sample at PMA, the little Z30 showed us a couple of surprises. It's loaded with automatic controls, playback effects, continuous shooting features, and numerous self-timer modes.
