One of the few compact cameras with aperture and shutter priority.
Manual mode is really an auto mode with over-ride capability, which I use quite often to get the best pictures.
The flash could be stronger. Must be within 15 ft of the subject in order for the flash to be effective.
The battery life could be better too.
Higher ISO's get quite noisy. Pictures taken at ISO 100 and 200 are very good.
Instead of concentrating on performance like they did with the F31fd, Fujifilm fell for the more megapixel marketing trap. But then again so does every manufacturer.
My final conclusion: The camera was a good deal for the feature set. I wish it was less noisy at higher ISO setting.
