the pinkish band problem seems common to most of the current batch. I have take a look the sample photo posted in Fuji website, dont have this problem. Maybe the max ISO they used is ISO400, not higher.

For those who got this problem, you should demand a replacement or refund from Fuji Malaysia directly.

For those who haven't buy, better wait for next batch or wait for Fuji to resolve the issue. Kind of annoying

is F200 on sale now in malaysia?

I bought from YS Photo SS2. RM1200 + 4GB + Case + Screen Protector

Added on March 25, 2009, 12:30 pmagreed. F31fd is the history. I sold my F31fd for F200EXR.

I am borrowing F31fd from friend to do the comparison side by side, then will post the result of F31fd VS F200EXR

Below are some of the test pictures from F200EXR

HR vs DR - DR works quite well.


ISO compare 400 vs 800 vs 1600 (resized) - at ISO1600, after resized to smaller size, the picture looks quite clean.




ISO compare 400 vs 800 vs 1600 (cropped) - If 100% cropped, the quality quite bad but not sure how it compare to F31fd side by side.

ya... i am the owner of F10, F31fd and now F200.

To me, Fuji is the inventor instead of follower.

Fuji is the 1st who push the compact camera with ISO1600 while others still chasing for mega pixels.
After F10, everyone start to use high ISO as selling point, but their quality is really bad.

Too bad many ppl not even willing to look at the fuji while buying compact camera. everytime my friends ask me what compact to buy, i will recommend Fuji F series. they all like "are you sure?" fuji famous meh?

I think fuji will get more sales if they can improve their market like what sony and canon do....

Go get it and share the comparison with us

F200EXR is not slim either

Added on March 25, 2009, 10:18 pm1/1.6 is closer to 1, therefore 1/1.6 is larger than 1/2.33.
The bigger sensor, the better in image quality.

And yes, fujifilm F200EXR is equiped with Super CCD EXR

Bingo! You are right!

To me, F200EXR just a point and shoot camera with unbeatable image quality.

fast fast get 1

For compact, i dont really care about the manual function, especially Aperture Priority but shutter priority is more important to me for night creative shots.

As long as is easy to use and image quality is good in low light, is good enough for me.

I have done the comparison with F31fd for ISO and macro with flash capability. Also compare the ISO with D90.

Another test from me for the Macro shoot with flash on.

1。F200 vs F31fd closest focus distance


2。f200 macro shoot & Result
flash down

flash up


3. f31fd macro shoot & Result
flash up

flash down


From my test result, F200 is better perform in Macro shooting with flash on.

i think the F200 able to reduce the flash power while in macro mode, but F31 unable to.

should be the same case as F100 right?

what is wide reso photos?

from the paper, single charge can shoot 150 pics only

gogo2 is right.

Flash down meant the flash placement at bottom/down, not off

The only thing F31fd better is the battery life.... F31fd is history now

LYN got member selling RM1190 with 4GB, case, screen protector
