F31FD vs FX10

[nivlac]

Considering between these 2...

Need a simple PnS camera that can do:

1) Nite shots
2) Indoor/Outdoor shots
3) Parties & gathering

Understand that Lumix uses Lecia len which is suppose to be good, best part it is very slim too

Any recommendations? pros and cons of each camera?

Cheers

You could do a comparison of their features at dpreview.com. Pros of F31D is the more sensitive sensor used by Fuji for pumping up the ISO for low light conditions but it's using XD card. Whereas panasonic is known for it's noise when pumping up ISO, but it does have Mega O.I.S.

I'll prefer you go for the F31fd.
Low noise at high ISOs. Design-wise, it isn't those slim kinds but performance-wise, it packs helluva punch. xD card isn't an issue really, prices have dropped too.

Panasonic - Slim + Mega O.I.S
But noise control isn't as good as the Fuji, "watercolour" symptom when the camera does aggressive noise control. (Don't know whether the problem still exists)

if you take a significant amount of photos at night, go f31... otherwise fx01, 28mm wide + OIS.
