Due to increased probability that the photo might show visible noise and the 800 and 1600 ISO modes of the F10 (and the F11) should only be used if really neccessary, the 400 ISO mode has much less noise than the 400 ISO mode of other comparable cameras. The success of the F10 demonstrated the importance of low-light and high speed shooting, leading to inclusion of high ISO and IS technology in the 2006 consumer lineups of other major digital camera manufacturers, such as Sony's DSC-W50(High ISO), and Panasonic's Lumix FX01(High ISO, IS) Besides its differentiating ISO capability, the F10 success was also fueled by its excellent battery life and speedy shooting. The camera's weakness is manual shooting. Lacking aperture and shutter priority modes, the F10 is mostly a Point and Shoot and camera. Its sibling the F11 added aperture and shutter priority modes but still did not provide full manual control. The F11 will in turn be succeeded by the F30 which adds 3200 ISO in full resolution using a 1/1.6" (F10/F11: 1/1.7") 6th generation Super CCD chip and 2nd generation RealPhoto technology. The noise in sample photos however shows that 3200 ISO is not useable for normal outdoor night scenes with lots of dark areas. The second feature-addition of the F30 is a new mode where the camera shots two pictures is quick succession, one with flash and one without, so the picture to use can be choosen later. Other cameras like the F10/F11/F30 are the Olympus Mju 810 (64-1600 ISO 8MP, 3200 ISO 3MP) and the Panasonic DMC-TZ1 (10x, 1600 ISO at half resolution with pixel merging) EXTERNAL LINK
