Fujifilm’s Landmark Compact Wins At The Camera Oscars - Fujifilm FinePix F30 Zoom scoops TIPA Award for Best Compact Digital Camera in Europe 2006

Fujifilm’s landmark digital compact camera, the FinePix F30 Zoom, is taking Europe by storm. Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) - the largest and most influential photo and imaging press association in Europe - has officially voted the FinePix F30 Zoom ‘The Best Compact Digital Camera in Europe 2006’. The FinePix F30 Zoom is the world’s first compact to deliver ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution. This means users are able to produce crisp images with minimal noise, no subject blurring and atmospheric lighting in dark conditions.

The FinePix F30 Zoom bears testament to Fujifilm’s many years of accumulated expertise in sensor technology and demonstrates the company’s commitment to maintaining the same forward-thinking attitude to its digital photographic quality, as it has with traditional film. The first of a new generation of digital cameras, the FinePix F30 Zoom boasts the sensitivity to perform in all lighting, not just bright sunlight.

Will Rolls, Marketing Manager - Digital Imaging, Fujifilm said “It’s great to see that the Fujifilm message; never mind the pixels, here’s the sensitivity - is being endorsed by such a prestigious body as TIPA. The sensitivity setting of ISO3200 won’t mean much to all but the most technically-minded, but when people use the camera in less-than-perfect light, they will understand why this camera is an award-winner”

The Awards Ceremony will take place this year in Cologne, Germany on the opening day of Photokina.
