o.k. i have a 350d with all the usual gubbins , and a fuji f30 for low light ( in clubs and anywhere else i dont want to carry expensive gear) shots.
i was asked recently by someone else with the same idea as to what point and click to get. i told her an f30 ( i just love the thing) but she told me that the f30 is not to be got for love nor money in brick and mortar shops.
the f40 is a balls with its FD rubbish. so can anyone else suggest anything??
i know canon have a point and click with built in IS , but does anyone have one and is it any good ??

really disappointed the f30 is gone ,twas a gem of camera.


Thanks

f31fd is the replacement for the f30
f51fd is the replacement for the f31fd (but it's not out yet...)

and finally they can use SD cards!

Can't you turn off Face Detection?
I thought you could...

www.dpreview.com is the resource to use when looking up cameras... I'm sure a review will be up soon for the f51fd

I think they were very impressed with the f31fd when they reviewed it some time ago.

If it's any help, I have the Canon G7 and I think its the bee's knee's! Fully automatic or totally manual, whatever you want. It's also fairly adaptable, I got 2 lenses for it, wideangle and teleconverter. Great website I found called www.mycanong7.com helped me understand its capabilities. It is compact and will fit in your pocket!

yeah from dpreview it seems that its almost the same as the f30.
i was reading the users reviews , sorry.

thanks guys.
