LCD Question: Fuji F20 vs Fuji F30

[mrmichaeljmoore]

Sorry for the double post, but I posted this in the "Which camera should I buy" section, but I didn't get any responses....

So, I figured I'd try the Fuji specific forum:

Has anyone compared the LCDs from the Fuji F20 and the Fuji F30?
Unfortunately, there are no stores in my area that have these cameras for me to look at.

I see the F30 has 230,000 pixels
And the F20 has 153,000 pixels.

I am leaning towards the F20 (cheaper and no manual controls - i am a point and shooter) but if the LCD on the F30 is that much better, then I'm willing to spend the extra money.

Thoughts anyone?


Thanks again for everyone's help.

Seeing that no one have come up with an direct answer to your many posts re. LCD resolution, this might shed some light.

A quote from Stephanie on F10 LCD from "F20 a point and shooter's choice? (http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23621)" thread:


The F20 does have a lower resolution LCD, but the one on the F10 (which I own) was even lower, only 115,000 pixels. My experience with it was that it was fine in low light, if that was one of your concerns. It automatically "gains up" in low light which allows you to see what you're shooting.

F10 (still) is another popular camera. I can't recall F10 owners' complaint about LCD so if 115,000 pixels good enough for F10 (2.5" LCD), 153,000 pixels should even be better for F20.
