What owners like
Fujifilm DS-30 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its CCD sensor for a resolution of 640 x 480 and 3.3 - 9.9mm) 32 - 96mm equivalent zoom are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
