not sure bout 40fd, but 31fd got a "highly recommended" from dpreview.com:

yeap, F31fd is better. get it before it disappear off the shelve

I've been comparing both cameras as well. After seeing many sample shots from both cameras, I notice F40fd has much more Super CCD noise artifacts even at ISO100. So, in terms of ISO/noise performance, F31fd wins.

But F40fd has less purple fringing problem. Outdoor shots also has less blown hightlights. Colours outdoor also look a bit better than F31fd. F40fd can use face detection in 'M' mode but F31fd cannot.

F40fd don't have AP/SP function and can only take 300 shots per charge. F31fd can take up to 580 shots per charge!

F40fd is slimmer and has wider viewing angle LCD.

Here're some links:

So it's up to your taste. For me, i would go for F31fd because i'm 'allergic' to picture noise.

so how the performance of the digicam ?

china website mentioned exactly the same as F40fd only upgrade to 9MP.

So far no comparison of picture yet.

err i mean yr digicam fujifilm f31fd , i read tru website they recommend it , how bout u ? yr own experience ? im thinking of getting that too but need more opinion .

I owned F10 previously and compare to F31fd, F31fd of course is much more better.

1. cleaner ISO1600 (in fact, is best in compact camera range)
2. intelligent Flash - prevent the flash wash out your object.
3. face detection - when you want ppl to take photo for you, just turn this on and your face sure sharp sharp.
4. longer bettery life - 580 shots (F10 only 500)

How good of its ISO1600? see this comparison with Canon Ixus - http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilmf31fd/page14.asp

Faster go and get before too late.

what about the purple fringing ? is that a major problem ?
