yes, worth buying if under RM1K.

i already bought.... for about rm999 cash promotion with free 512mb xd card+cam case+tripod

one thing i dont like, is the lense placement.

its very easy to accidently get fingerprint on it thats why i dont let anyone use it.. yet hehe

can you take some lowlight pics at iso800 and 1600, upload full-size to

yeah yeah take some samples shot on high iso, wanna compare it with f31fd.

nice camera by fuji..reasonable price too

okie dokie... I will try it tonight...lowlight pics at ISO 800 & 1600.. I'll post it tomorrow

p/s: dummy question... is lowlight pics = night pics?

As long as no sunlight or taken inside a dimly lit room will be considered as low light.

what CompMac said^
and also dont use flash. tq.

What (if any) differences are there between fuji's Z series and f series?

z = folded optical, f=protruding
z=smaller ccd 1/2.5, f =bigger 1/1.7
z=slim, compete with slim cam like sony t series.

except for the sensor size, these diff are cosmestic in nature.

What about image quality?...my instinct says more serious photograhper will opt for f series?

yes f series IQ is definitely better, but dunno by how much, still waiting for pics from neaevia.

z series aim for ladies mkt, comes in pink, slim etc...

yup Z series aim for fashion+ladies.

definitely a turn on for someone like me...

so dont blame it if it got lousy pix.. its for show...LOL i just degraded myself

I put a big X on cameras that do not have profile for hand grip. How to take good pix when can't have a steady hold on the camera?

Not all ladies go for pink and slim
Itu camera untuk ambil gambar ke untuk tayang fesyen?

looks ok to me, got a spot to put the thumb, finger on top the shutter button.

i think u should put the big X on the cam then.. when i first got it. i find it difficult to get steadyshots when i am not on auto mode + anti blur. cuz definitely got shake one.

but u need lotsa practice with this cam to keep it steady & to avoid finger prints on the lense

Anyhowww...... heres the pix..both pix at 3.5f... dunno how to change that setting...

ISO 800


ISO 1600

very good iso800, better than canon/sony with same sensor size.

decent iso performance but not as impressive as f31fd

not bad, not bad

neaevia, from the photo
i can conclude that if u wanna get good indoor/low light photo
dont use ISO over than 400
ISO 400 with/without flash would be good enough for low noise yet usable photo

heres the sample at ISO400
