eh, i believe they wun do a full review for f31.. since it is almost the same as f30 except for FD.F31 full review yet out at DP anyway.
Actuaaly today I went to MS color and wanted to buy the P5000.
Ended up never buy. Disappointed. Why? The LCD upon half press during focuss will let go with red light which is quite broad. Depending on how much you zoom. If Max is very mild and upon wide angle whole LCD is red strike of light. It is very irritating although it will not affect the picture. I do not know exactly how to explain and toy try on your own and you will understand. I have called Nikon technical department and they told me is due to LCD overflow of information and is normal. I have tried L10 L11 all do not have such problem.
Color is so so only some more. Although I am a Nikon supporter but rather disappointed although I like the shutter speed compared with G7 as it has a shutter lag.
All shot were done default to compare with F31FD
No and no need just point anyway when outdoor you can get those vertical lines already. Even Nikon technical has verify that their set there also like that. I am not pointing at the sun. During the test the time was 2.30pm and facing a patch of greens. But must be outdoor to see those lines. Depending on the zoom range if wide angle the lines could be as thick as 1inch or more. As you zoom it get lesser. I was told that LCD overflow of information by them.
So ended up yesterday never buy and today went to buy the F40 and F31 each. I have given my E900 away so was looking at the new P5000. Just abit disappointed. Anyway actually in my mind was thinking of Fuji cause I am not a Sony CCD fan
