Looking for a New Pocket Digicam?

So for a very long time, I've been looking for a pocket digital camera to pair with my big and bulky digital SLR. But pocket digicams have always had such trade-offs that I could always convince myself to carry my big SLR and lenses instead.

I also tend to get lots of folks asking for recommendations on cameras. That request is easy for me to do with SLRs since that's what I shoot with, but I also keep an eye on what's new in the digicam world. I read both offical reviews from commercial sites as well as those from individuals on forums. Lately I've been hearing about a new pocket digicam from Fuji, the F30.

And I have never read reviews like this.

Both official reviewers as well as the everyday end user love this camera. It is snappy (very little shutter lag), has great shot-to-shot times for when there's a lot of action, is pretty small, has the most important manual controls, has great high-ISO performance (you might not even know what that means but trust me, it's really important), and even has a 600 shot battery life! And to cap it all off, the one thing that is most important: printed photos look fantastic. Never have I seen so many people talk about a digicam like this. I just might finally have found my pocket digicam.

So if you're looking for a new pocket digicam, the Fuji F30 is likely exactly what you're looking for. At currently a street price of right around $300, it's a good value, too.
