This really isn't a review, just a commentary on the new Fuji F31FD (very similar to the F30) which I just got today. This is a very nice camera for ~$300. Bar none, it is the one I'd recommend people looking to buy a digital camera in this price range (or even up to $500). The picture quality is the biggest pleasant surprise. The images have low noise, even at high ISO (comparable to dSLRs even). And the ergonomics are great ... as expected from Fuji who always churns out functional cams. Big thumbs up 8)
