Best low light - I don't think so

(Ben Clissold - 10/24/06)

I'm disappointed with the Fuji F30. Everyone bills it as the "best low light camera" but its not.
We do lots of shots of nightclubs and bands. We need maximum light into the shot in minimum time. You'd think the Fuji sensor would do it, but the lens is too small.
I've had two Olympus cameras previously and they left the Fuji F30 for dead. The Olympus C-2040 was the best low-light camera I have ever used. The Olympus C-4000 was okay too. I haven't found a digital SLR or compact which can match them. The F30 tries hard, and isn't terrible, but isn't as good as the Olympus.
The F-30 blurs too much (even on the manual settings), can be grainy, and the red-eye reduction doesn't cut the red-eye much.
