Hard to shoot carefully. The F30 has no indication of overexposure.
No histogram and no flashing blown highlights. Really, really a
dumbed down bare bones camera except for the sensor. How the lack of
histogram does not keep it from being worthy of consideration, I
don't know. Not sure if the sensor makes up for that.
I was shocked by the absence of a histogram and wondered why exposure
compensation is possible when you can't tell whether it is needed. I
looked around a bit thinking Fuji is the only one with this flaw, but
discovered that the histogram is now an up market feature like a
viewfinder. I would no longer tell anyone to get a point and shoot
camera. For the price of a better one missing many features you can
now get a DSLR.
Yeah, I know you can't put it in your pocket.
