F31 is indeed a great P&S camera and it's almost impossible to find one now.
However, many people said that F31 is no longer the king, Panasonic LX-3 beats F31.
What do you think?
Anyone here owns both camera and did a comparison?

One member in the Pentax group talked about how great the LX3 and wanted to buy one until he came across a comparison of low light images between the F31FD (or F20 or F30). Both images featured a building in the late evening @ ISO800. The LX3 images was dark and noist while the F31FD retained a bright level and much lesser noise.
He now owns a second hand F31FD!

Recently the new F200EXR has created much hype in the forum which totally overshadows the lengendary F31fd. However, looking back at the photos taken with my F31fd, I wonder if it is necessary to retire this amazing cam for an upgrade? :dunno:

Sharing 2 photos here:

1) An afternoon at Upper Pierce Reservoir

2) "Live view"

Yes, you do.. Firstly, the purple fringing in F31fd is horrible.. this is a well known fact, try taking photo in bright daylight...

Secondly the DR for F31fd is bad, that's why some previous owners left the camp.

Thirdly, the camera is quite narrow at 35mm narrow.

Fourthly, the camera does not have IS, which is critical in low light situation...

Fifthly, the camera is only 3x optical zoom..

and the list goes on...

F31fd was the legend...

seriously, any campers who thinks f31fd can sell at $300+++, they are seriously wrong..

F200EXR is the new king of Fujifilm. F50fd/f60fd/f100 were just pretenders...


F31fd, its time for you to retire
Welcome to the new era of F200EXR :thumbsup:
