Default Do not Buy Fuji F31FD Now!

I have just recently purchase a F31fd from M S Color. As i was in a hurry, i did not really go test out the camera and the battery was low. So was not able to take a few shots and decide to take it since it was so popular and was the last set in M S Color. After charging the battery last night, and i take it out to use. To my horror, that are photos already inside the camera. Photos that was not taken by me since when i handled it that was no battery. I did ask the staff, they say it was a BRAND NEW one. How could it be a brand new one when there are photos inside (5 photos somemore and one of photo is taking some tourist) before i have even use it. And somemore i ask the staff say that the display set returned to FUJI! They claim that they just got the last batch from the supplier.

Be wary, folks if you are going to buy make sure it is a brand new one. I hope it is not not those display set that the shops return to fuji and fuji repackaged and sell it again to everybody. Just be careful folks about buying it now. I regretted it.

i'm not so sure IF the fault lies with FujiFilm Singapore. it might be too fast too soon to pin point the fault with them.

perhaps u can find out more from MS Colors.

What were the date and time of the photos taken?

When did the stock arrive according to MS color?

Post the photos taken. I'm sure someone here in the forum will be able to identify where the photo were taken.

Find out who took the pictures and then we'll know the whole story about the cam.

Let the story of Sherlock Holmes unfold ....

hey guys i listen to you all and went back
and i return the set already. And they are quite willing to replace for them and refund me back! good service! They actually ask me either i want to the F40.... but i think have to wait for F50fd.

Just want to warn you guys about it! Careful!!! I think sighz have to wait for F50fd to drop price.. dunno wait until how long..... I hope anybody planning to buy be careful, cos i think they will send back to supplier and they reformat and send it out again to sell. So i dunno if there is anyway to check it out.

Do you know why you cannot do so? It is the same like you are using your ATM card trying to withdraw money from my account.

Read this carefully and please be a good boy in future, (at least be careful).

Good luck!
