However, the F100fd has me now but can switch from Canon to Fuji.
There are already plenty of reviews that talk about the qualities of the F100fd, I prefer to philosophize a little time compared to the Canon IXUS models. For potential transfer passengers and certainly others that is determined by interest.
Why I changed the manufacturer?
Now, as a decisive criterion for a camera that should be what really counts, the photo. In this discipline, the Fuji's in the shirt pocket clippers small Canon IXUS are simply superior. Since the mouse bites from no thread. Canon has slept in this discipline in recent years.
My last IXUS was the IXUS 75 with (unnecessarily many) 7 megapixels, which I had already extensively compared with the F50fd. The F100fd finally has then brought the barrel in the direction of Fuji's back.
Due to the larger and technically better sensor, the Fuji F100fd is when the light conditions a little let up for miles before the Canon IXUS 75. There can be no room for interpretation. This not only has an impact on the noise in the image. Due to the larger chip the Fuji can operate at the same conditions with a faster shutter speed, which is also a non-negligible advantage of moving objects. In addition, of course, that the Fuji F100fd "longer" without a flash gets along as the Canon IXUS 75th
In all other disciplines Canon and Fuji are now very close together with Canon is mostly a nose ahead. These noses are put together not so serious that I would regret the move.
Specifically regarding this nose advantages of Canon IXUS:
- Shell Size
- Weight
- Speed in general
- Speed autofocus
- Size (not quality) of the display
If there is something that really bothers me about the F100fd, it's that they do from time to time with the automatic exposure takes next. I did not know of the Canon IXUS 75 to the extent. When F100fd that's already striking in direct comparison, so that you have more often resort to spot metering or manual exposure.
The default setting of Auto ISO should as far as possible runterschrauben at least 400 or better 200 (if it would be out), otherwise the flash consulted far too late, and the pictures are really noisy right (> ISO 400), when it would be necessary not at all , About ISO 200 I go anyway also reluctant. This is certainly also the fact that in addition to the F100fd in the closet even a DSLR is and I am therefore a bit spoiled.
Deterioration over the F50fd is that the mode dial has been rationalized away. The mode change is in the F100fd much less quickly and only somewhat fiddly possible than at the F50fd. When the dial the F100fd (the 4-way rocker and the mode dial of the F50fd F100fd combining both in a select / Wipprad) spins, then hobbles the indicator on the display more or less unmotivated rum, turning slowly it works better, but it also takes longer. ; (
That the Fujifilm F100fd has an image stabilizer so far I could only be based on the menu, where you can switch this off and can, notice. Confident testing would not let me see his quality. So I think just once that it exists and works well. ;)
The battery is as weak as that of the Canon IXUS models and enough for about 150 shots in the mixed operation. In this regard, the two should go peek at Casio Simply drop.
Conclusion
I can absolutely recommend the Fuji F100fd. She stands with her image quality of the competitors that I can compare, out. The few objectionable to her things are done by the quality of the recordings definitely good.
For me, the Fuji F100fd is the right complement to the DSLR as a shirt pocket clippers.
