Score 9.0/10+ images are very clear and the design is very nice, easy to use.
- has red eye reduction, so have put it on that setting but sometimes the pictures still come out with red eyes, this only tends to happen when its night.

Score 9.0/10+ Very sexy, compact and easy to use.
- would be easier to have a cradle to put the camera in to charge and connect to the PC because you have to remove the battery and plug it into a charger each time.

Score 9.0/10+ Compact, beautiful, easy to use
- Comes without a case and without a card - standard, but means it will get scratched easily.

Its a good looking camera and as compact as a phone so it doesn't drag you down on a night out.
Its sturdy and doesn't feel flimsy like some cameras.
The capture time is fast so you aren't waiting around to take a picture.

Score 10.0/10+ I love this little camera! I don't have anything bad to say about it. I love the black and white feature, the delay when you take the picture isn't too bad, unlike my last camera where it took about 20 seconds. I bought the case that goes with it too, which is so small and cute and briliant to put into a little handbag when out on the town!!

Score 10.0/10+ Small, but with large, easy to use buttons - (brought for my 80 year old mother, who is a technophobe but absolutely loves it)
- Haven't found any yet!

Score 8.0/10+ Great Design, easy to use out of the box, reasonable battery life, it only has one button on the top!! Face recognition works much better than I have seen on other Fuji cameras, but still could be better in low light.
- Strange button configuration takes a little getting used to, but is fine in the end. The charger is a strange shape (OK, so I am scraping the barrel here). I am still waiting to see a camera that can auto rotate my pictures.

Score 9.0/10+ Easy to use, compact and sylish.
- Concerned about the slightly protuding screen and think that if dropped even once then it would smash and ruin the camera. But I hope I don't ever find out!

Score 9.0/10+ Compact to carry around. No chance of taking accidental pictures. Reproduction of images excellent.

These aren't Bad Points, just suggestions for improvement of ease.
I would recommend a carrying caase to keep it clean and easy to keep round the neck.
Transferring the images onto my laptop was a bit complicated. There are so many images on the disc already and I wanted to make a file for my holiday and transfer chosen pictures for family onto Facebook as an album. I'm a Mature! user so am coming to all this late in life!
I still found it easier to use my old camera for quick snaps and my Fuji for pictures where I wanted a good focus.

Cool, Colourful and Compact!
Following in the footsteps of Fujifilm’s best selling FinePix Z20fd, the FinePix Z30 debuts with a highly unique and original look, setting it apart from other cameras on the market. The stylish exterior, with its smooth sculpted curves, is small enough to fit in to your pocket or bag, perfect for a night out!
Available in five gorgeous colours – Fuchsia Pink, Pure White, Deep Purple, Tangy Orange, Jet Black – you’ll be sure to find a shade that suits your mood or matches your favourite party frock. Morphing fashion with technology the FinePix Z30’s sleek and compact shell will demand attention wherever it goes!
Stunningly Straightforward
The true beauty of the FinePix Z30 is how simple it is to use. The metallic sliding lens cover, featuring a diamante effect design, smoothly slides across the camera to act as the on/off switch, and when in operation, the FinePix Z30 is extremely user-friendly. The buttons are intuitively laid out on the back of the camera, and the functions within the camera are easy to navigate – making picture taking a breeze.
Cyber friendly
Love posting pictures of you and your friends on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter? Then the FinePix Z30 is the camera for you!

Crystal Clear Screen
The large, bright 2.7" LCD screen makes composing and viewing images easy. There’s also a Micro Thumnail View that displays up to 100 images on the back of the screen so you can quickly find your favourite shot to show your friends!
Zoom in to the Action
The FinePix Z30 features a versatile 3x zoom which lets you capture a wide range of photographic subjects, like groups of friends, close-up portraits or holiday shots.
What’s also extra special about this zoom is that the mechanism is hidden within the camera – it is a vertical internal zoom so the camera maintains its sleek shape even when the zoom is fully extended.
