Please try and include more information next time, for example whether you're referring to video fps or continuous burst rate fps, currently this doesn't even appear to be a question. Anyway, for still burst rate, at the full resolution you get 2 fps, while at 3 megapixels you'll get 5 fps. On the video your max fps is 30fps in 640 x 480 shooting.

I'm trying to determine which camera to buy for family use. I'm considering the Fuji F60fd, (Carol46 — 11/19/2008)

Canon SD1100, Nikon S550 and Olympus Stylus1040. I would like to be able to print the date on the picture and also be able to take low light pictures without a flash at concerts, etc. Do you have any advice?

Of those, I think that the SD1100 is the best bet. Compact, vivid color, image stabilization. Followed by the Nikon. Fuji gets good marks and the 1040 is pretty good. in that order. To be sure, though, you may want to swing by this resource ( imaging-resource.com/IMCOMP... ). It takes pictures with each and you can compare them side by side.

Lost my F30 and want something with ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution. (cybutler — 03/13/2009)

I copied that last part from a review of the F30. I don't understand the terminology just know that the F30 took great low level light pictures.

ISO is rather an ancient term from the days of film which referred to the speed at which the film could absorb the light image. It's been transferred to the digital realm and refers to the speed at which the CCD chip absorbs the light image and converts it to a digital signal. The rule of thumb, however, is that the higher the ISO speed, the more grain or noise gets into the image. Most point and shoots begin to really lose the noise battle at ISOs above 800. With a few notable exceptions.

CCD chips on point and shoot cameras, however, are smaller and as such, fitting in more pixels without a corresponding increase of chip size, causes them to lose light sensivity. Sure, there’s more data on the chip, but the chip can’t absorb the light data and what it ends up with is a picture that has more noise than image quality. In other words, a smaller MP that can balance all these needs may indeed be a better answer.

So don't fall victim of the "more MP is better" myth. A camera like the F60 isn't going to perform as well at 3200 as your F30 did.

Thanks James but while your information was interesting, I'm not a pro, never will be. Just want to replace my F30 with something that performs as well as it did, in low light situations. Why did you not make a suggestion as to what camera I should consider?

reply to this comment

by James DeRuvo (03/17/2009)

You don't have to be a pro. I was merely going with the fact you didn't understand the terminology, but I felt i twas important to mention to you that at higher ISOs, there's more noise in the picture in low light situations. Sometimes, it helps to understand how your camera works when faced in situations where you need as much light as possible. If you don't know how it works, then you end up taking pictures you end up being dissatisfied with. All I was saying.

But you are right, I got on such a roll with my terminology lecture, I forgot to offer a camera suggestion! Sorry about that.

I like the Canon SD990IS. It has a new updated processor in the DIGIC IV, and a little larger chip size to handle the additional MP.

Another goodie is the Panasonic TZ5. It has great low light performance as well. I just wish it had a viewfinder!

Thanks James! I appreciate the info. I'd take better pictures if I paid attention to your advice and wasn't so lazy. I'm going to check out the Canon SD990IS and Panasonic TZ5.

Have you looked at the reviews on the Fuji F200EXR? Admittedly I'm easily swayed by the hype but the F30 was a perfect camera for me, long battery life, easy options and the best pictures I've ever taken in low light. I keep thinking the Fuji folks will put out another model with the same great features but if they have, no one's talking about it. Can't find any reviews that compare the F30 straight up. I'm sure that's also because the features I'm looking for aren't widely appreciated by people who really understand cameras.

I don't know if this thread ends because my question has been answered but if not, I'll look forward to your reply.

Not really. Threads tend to have a life of their own long after the best answer is marked. ;)

Fuji makes pretty good cameras. Idon't know about the F200, but I have a friend who has an F100 and simply LOVES it.

I believe that the Fuji F40fd is the next in line after the F30. It has served me well.

What is the size of the Fuji F60fd? (daffy — 05/17/2009)

I have a Nikon D50, but want a point and shoot that I can put in my purse for travel.

2.3 X 0.9 X 0.9 inches are the diminsions... should easily fit in your purse.
