Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Digital Camera

June 1, 2008

Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Silver Digital Camera

Successor to the F30, a popular model of the yesteryears, the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Compact Digital Camera retains the manual controls of the former. A smart, Face Detection Technology that comes integrated in the processor of the camera distinguishes the model from its predecessor, the F30. This is not as augmented as the Face Detection 2 technology sported by some of the later models, say F50df, as it can also identify up to 10 faces but not as explicitly as the latter. Another modification is the most striking one, the fastest ISO speed of 3200 at the maximal resolution. This is perhaps the trump card of the F31df, enabling it to perform breathtakingly in low light conditions.

Fewer Pixels with a Larger Sensor: A swim against the tide

The F31fd’s meticulously maintained 6.3-megapixel resolution along with the stunning duo, a super CCD HR VI sensor and a Real Photo Processor II hog the credit for its brilliant low light capabilities. The increased light capturing capacity of the combination at a marginal electronic noise enhances sensitivity, resulting in real colour, clear images and fine details. This is obviously the missing factor in the F50df. In addition, the quick response time of the F31fd fortified with a 1.5 sec- start-up time, virtuously eliminate missed opportunities by capturing almost all desired scenes.

Power Packed Illumination

The NP-95 Li-ion battery of the Fujifilm FinePix F31fd Pocket Digital Camera is nothing less than revelation considering the fact that it supports a cool 580 shots per charge. The recharging is also reduced to a trivia for a smart AC adapter that comes with the package, ensuring that no another occasion is missed. The new i-Flash system of the camera along with advanced power aspect proves synergic in providing genuine looking subjects and brightly detailed backgrounds.

Other Key Features

  • The model is adorned by a smart Auto Focus with a 5 cm Macro, ably assisted by center, multi and continuous area modes
  • Presence of an AF supporting lamp proves the perfect foil to the impressive AF part
  • A multi-dimensional white balancing aspect featuring Auto, Fine, Shade, Daylight, Warm white, Cool White and Incandescent light modes also enhances the model
  • Continuous shooting of 2.2fps maximum 3 images
  • IrSimple technology enables high speed data transfer to and from feature supporting devices
  • PictBridge print compliance for accessing a printer without the computer’s help
  • The F31fd also allows capturing of VGA movies with sound at a rate of 30 frames per second
  • Versatile playback features

Conclusion

The Fujifilm FinePix F31fd 6.3 MP Digital Camera obviously eclipses its precedent, the F30 as well as its successor, the F50fd in the sector of image clarity. Its intuitive conception of right situations at a striking pace is something with which the other models tend to struggle. It also excels in low-light performance, shrewdly using the combined expertise of the anti blur and intelligent flash features. However the absence of a few inspiring features plays the spoilsport to a small extent like a histogram, for shooting as well as the playback, a manual AF, an AF lock on the intended subject and a raw mode. The continuous mode also trails a bit with a 3 shot limit that might turn off the sports professionals.
