Quite different cameras. Ricoh is the very nice digital heritage of 
excellent G-1 and has a good sensor and an very good prime lens and even 
an add-on for having a 21mm equivalent lens. But the Fuji Finepix F30 
has the best tiny sensor ever built with very low light capabilities. 
You can use this camera at 3200 ISO -not very good output- and at 1600 
ISO -much better- getting astonishingly usable pictures. It's the pocket 
digital camera for advanced users.
