The Fujifilm Finepix digital cameras F30 and F31fd (pictured) are still very much talked about in the Fujifilm forum in DPReview even with the availability of their newer siblings. A lot of the praises go to their excellent low ISO images due to Fuji's SuperCCD sensors. The Online Photographer article "Digicam Appreciation" also reminded me of some of the posts in the forum about the availability of these cameras on various auction sites like eBay.Still in high demand, these discontinued cameras are now selling at higher prices and as the article from Online Photographer mentioned, some are selling at double of their original prices!
I had wanted to buy the F31fd. I had dismissed it earlier due to its proprietary xD memory card. I was willing to live with this due to its excellent quality but unfortunately it is no longer available here and of course, I am not willing to pay for it at its current high price on eBay.
