Review: I am principally a Digital SLR user, and wanted an easily pocketable camera to replace my old Canon Ixus 400. I naturally went for the highest MP size in the Ixus range - the 10.0MP Ixus 900Ti - but was very disappointed with the quality of the results. The pictures lacked detail and were particularly soft in the corners. A second 900Ti had even poorer picture quality (both were worse than my original 4MP Ixus 400) so it was back to the drawing board. After weeks of researching magazines and on-line reviews, I was impressed most by reviews of the F31fd, and I have not been disappointed. Admittedly it hasn't all the bells and whistles of the Ixus but the picture quality is superb right the way across the frame, with corners impressively sharp. Besides the usual programme settings, the F31fd offers the more creatively-minded control of shutter speed and aperture, an feature lacking in the Ixus and many other of the more expensive compacts.
If taking photos is about getting the best pictures possible, you can't go wrong with the F31fd. It is so much cheaper than most of its rivals - at £130 approx it is worth every penny. |
