Lumix TZ30 by raindrop07006 (Jul, 2012)Megapixel format packs a whopping 5.4Mb pictures at the highest resolution of 4320x3240 pixels!
FinePix F750 EXR by Sam-Bravern (May, 2012)Panasonics come in third - images are unusable beyond ISO 800, too much yellow color splotching all over.
sensor size
Lumix TZ30 by stevefoobar--Steve (May, 2012)Furthermore, with single images files as large as almost 13 MB in size from the 14.1 megapixel sensor, you have more than enough pixels to do some serious Photoshop work even without having RAW files to work with.
FinePix F750 EXR by Sam-Bravern (May, 2012)At crazy ISO 1600 and up, Fuji wins with usable images (barely) followed by Sony but you really can't expect much from these small cameras with small sensors at those kind of ISOs.
wide angle lens
FinePix F750 EXR by Sam-Bravern (May, 2012)The lens motor is also the most audible out of all the 4 cameras.
aperture size
Lumix TZ30 by Martin (May, 2012)The camera takes a burst of exposures, bracketing the aperture, and then automatically combines them to produce a single image with a well-lit foreground.
zoom range
| 0x | 20x | 20x |
Lumix TZ30 by Mike-Brosnan (Nov, 2012)The camera is comfortable to hold, controls are reasonably intuitive, and it has good optical zoom and GPS.

105 x 63 x 36 mm
Lumix TZ30 by Tony-T.-Kao--HolycowShe complained the picture qualities were not as sharp as her other older compact cameras.
FinePix F750 EXR by C.-C.-Holland (Sep, 2012)But for the price, it's a great little camera for travel or for everyday shutterbug adventures when a big DSLR is too much to pack along.
