Probably the ONLY compact cameras with good ISO 400 shooting
|
There is one overriding fact: The Fuji F-series is the only compact camera series that you can use at anything over ISO 100 and expect good results. People don't realize that even ISO 200 on pretty much ANY other small camera is pretty bad. With the F40fd, ISO 400 looks quite decent and even 800 isn't too bad. This is EXTREMELY important and rare, and overshadows any other failings a camera may have - which in this case are few.
The F41fd is also quite a bargain. It is not an SLR, you are simply not going to get that kind of control and image quality in a small moderately priced camera right now. But it's about as close as you can get.
Also, at this point this lesser model may still be a better choice than the newer F51 and F100.
These newer cameras went up to a ridiculous 12 megapixels. This simply makes no sense on a camera and lens system this small and inexpensive. (My new SLR is only 10mp!) Much better to stay with a lower pixel count (larger pixel size) for better ISO performance. The F40fd hits a very good compromise with 8mp. Also, unlike the earlier F30 or F31, it takes SD cards rather than silly xD cards.
Now, don't be that tempted by the later models just because of image stabilization. I would rather just have good high ISO first and foremost. My SLR has built in IS, but guess what: people still move a little bit and get blurry, and IS is not going to help that. High ISO will allow a faster shutter speed that WILL help. So camera makers would be well advised to pour a lot more effort into high ISO performance rather than IS.
The screen is lovely, and the video mode is actually pretty usable. The battery, true, is a little lower capacity than previous F series, but it's still a big battery and much better than a lot of other compact cameras.
At this point, for me at least, I believe the F40fd is probably the best point and shoot you can buy, regardless of cost, simply because it's the best blend of resolution, high ISO performance, and good performance and features in a camera this size. |
