Most modern compact cameras perform reasonably well until they are used in low light conditions. However, when ISO reaches 800, 1600 or higher the inevitable 'noise' rears its ugly head. Here's where Fuji seems to have come up with a solution, and, asa result, created a significant advantage over its competitors. All Fuji X cameras show little noise in low light, even the baby X10. This has real advantages to the photographer because, by using higher ISO, the photographer can achieve higher shutter speeds and therefore sharper images.
