Just got back with my Fuji F31 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Thanks to all those who have posted comments and photos. This is one very impressive little camera!

I'm an experienced hobby photographer who used SLR film cameras extensively a couple of decades ago, but I got tired of the weight, bulk, switching lenses, and the processing costs of my many discarded photos.

I'm particularly impressed with the F31fd's combination of compact size, image quality, low-light capabilities, minimal shutter delay, and speed of startup. It looks like the perfect camera for traveling, family gatherings, and outdoor activities. I print very few of my photos, preferring to store them on DVDs and view them on my computer. I share them with friends and family over the Internet or by email.

I've just searched for the F31fd locally but I came up dry. I found the Fuji F50fd, which apparently replaces it? Any thoughts on whether to search for the F31fd or just buy the "new, improved" F50fd?

Thanks,

Ricketty
