CF cards are much bigger than SD cards so a CF card + adapter is never going to fit into a SD slot.

The S8000fd has CCD image stabilization :) But it's not as effective as the optical IS which the Panasonic, Canon and Sony are using.

Flash Memory Toolkit has two benchmark functions (low-level and file test)

OMG! That's three times faster than my 3 1/2 floppy drive! :shocked:

It's a bit odd that these 2007 cards are only starting to show up now (we're almost 2008!)

Straight out of the camera the ISO3200 pictures look pretty bad but they can be greatly improved after some post-processing. Then they're actually usable for small prints. But still I only use ISO1600 or ISO3200 when there's no other way to make a non-blurry picture.

Neither, get the Panasonic FZ18 :) This is the best ultrazoom camera according to DPReview.

ISO1600 is the highest setting on the 400D. That's not good enough in low-light situations where you need a great depth of field. The F31fd supports up to ISO3200 (sure, it looks kinda crappy but it's still better than a blurry picture) and has a great depth of field, like all P&S cameras. So...

It's Sandisk's new design. Nothing to worry about. http://forums.dpreview.com/for...=1023&message=25728719

Displex Of course a LCD polisher doesn't actually remove those scratches, it removes the areas around the scratches :D

Actually the F31fd is great :) It has outperformed my 400D DSLR on many occasions, especially in low-light situations where I needed a great depth of field.

Have you tried a different card reader?

Look at the photo samples of the F50fd at DCResource then you can see what happens if you put 12 millon pixels on a tiny sensor. It's just horrible. Anyway, I'm happy with my F31fd :)

Actually the card performance does matter. Suppose the burst mode speed is 2 fps and the average file size is 4MB. To get this speed you need a card which has a write speed of 8MB/s. However, the camera also needs some time to process the image which is done before the file is written to the...
