"Here's the issue. The Fuji F30/31 were awesome cameras for low light, high ISO performance. Fuji tried to continue that into the F40/F45 (both are identical cameras, the latter being exclusive through Ritz). The images, even at the lower ISO's have a texturing due to the heavy noise reduction being applied. Kind of a "painting" effect, and hazy edges. I'm hoping they put out a firmware upgrade to address this. To make this worse, in full "Auto", the camera will default to a high ISO. This really gives an image that leaves much to be desired, with, again, too much noise reduction. However, viewed small, they don't look too bad. Just don't expect to crop the picture much. You'll need the 8 megapixels to print that 4x6. Lots of things to like about the camera, but it's image quality that they get bought for."

Taken at 100 ISO, 1/480th/f 4.5. No adjustments.
