A compact camera with SLR performance

I was doing a lot of research before buying this camera. The first thing I was concern was with low light capacity. Mos current cameras in the market are good for day light or flash but they become grainy in dim light, indoors, night situations. Most people argue that small cameras can't perform well in low light as the lens is smalland don't allow enough light to get in, well that's is true but this camera the Fuji Finepix F30 has a way around it, it has a superb CCD sensor with photocells arranged in a honeycomb shape, each cell is octagonal in shape, this maximize the light capture efficiency reducing the signal to noise ratio which indeed is what causes the grainy appearance in low light. I don't care much about technical details, all i need to see is a picture taken with a camera to see how good it is, and this one blows away competition in picture quality it even gets closer to the high end SLR cameras in the market. I send some pictures to a friend and he is sure I took them with an digital SLR. Well compact, easy to carry and with SLR capability and comparable quality. You can't be wrong with this camera I'm very happy with it. :)
