This camera now goes with me everywhere. My previous camera was a canon G3. Still takes great pics, but that will be doing tripod work now. We still have a 35mm slr that we use, too. Having a little point and shoot like the f31 is very handy, and it has actually grabbed a number of good shots that i would never have gotten with the g3;mainly because the g3 is kept in a case, with lenses etc. I also dont tend to leave it either in the car, or carry it around in my bag or pocket,like the f31. At 100% crop, the quality of the f31 is sometimes quite dubious, and sometimes excellent. When you look up close, it has a weird pixelation that looks like some kind of brush-stroke filter! Reduce the size to 40% - 60%, and they are always beautifully detailed and rich. Sometimes they need a little sharpening. Again, sometimes it takes awesome low-light shots, and sometimes it just looks really noisey. I havent quite worked out the factors that contribute to it choosing which iso setting it wants under certain conditions. I guess time will tell, and i'll be able to adjust. Of course, the f31 is not as controlable as the canon g series - f31 is a point and shoot: and it does it really well... Eventually i will swap the g3 out for a g9 or something, or more probably, a dslr. Having a dslr and a great, relativelt inexspensive point and shoot like the f31, lets you cover a lot of options. A lot more than any one camera ever could. I too recently bought the f31 fd - It has great picture quality, is very fast, small and light. This camera now goes with me everywhere.

I finally decided to buy a Fuji FinePix F31fd instead of Canon G7. The most important advantage of F31fd is its really compact size - it is so handy that I can always carry it with me. Most hybrid and some compact cameras are in fact so big they require to have a special case beacuse they just don’t fit into a pocket. F31fd is really small; you can always have it with you and take hiqh quality photos wherever you are. It also looks very nice and has no useless components.

I think the best solution would be to have two cameras: a small compact for every-day use such as Fuji F31 and the second one with the super zoom such as Fuji 6500 or Canon IS. And since I saw this clip about F31 I’ve been even more confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElmIw_KcYEw Well I’m still confused..

Do you want the camera to do all the work or do you want control of the camera? I have a G7 and I love it because it's fast and has a great zoom lens with image stabilization. It has great low light capability if you use the ISO 3200 mode and despite your comment about the optics, has a 6X zoom lens with great sharpness and color. The G7 can also take auxiliary lenses and high power flashes as well. If you want control and quality, G7. If you want good and simple, Fuji. Ambrose The choice is pretty simple.
