A Camera for Frequent Family Portraits
Selecting a digital camera these days is not easy. With the wide range of megapixels available, with so many features that appear on some cameras and not others, how does one make a choice? The easiest way may be to envision how you will use the camera most often, and then get the best camera you can for that specific application.
With that in mind, the FujiFilm F31fd digital camera may be the absolute best choice for the typical, family photographer. In addition to its 6.3 megapixels -- plenty of megapixels for a quality 8x10 blow-up -- the F31fd contains many features perfect for those frequent, personal family portraits.
The fd in F31fd stands for Face Detection, and this is the feature that FujiFilm is touting the most about this camera. Their advanced face detection technology allows the camera to identify up to 10 individual faces in a photo (in as little as 0.05 seconds), and also follow any faces that aren't sitting still until they go beyond the borders of the image. The benefit to your photos is that, with individual faces being identified, the lighting on those areas can be optimized, and the camera makes easy work of zooming in on them for a nearly automated, close-up portrait taken just a second after a more distant shot.
A complementary feature to assist in taking those family portraits is the sensitivity of the FujiFilm F31fd. With light sensitivity up to ISO 3200, this camera can take many photos in low-light conditions that are beyond the reach of most other cameras. So if you're fond of taking pictures at birthday parties with nothing but the candles on the cake lighting the scene, or if you enjoy candld snaps of your family opening their Christmas presents lit only by the lights of the Christmas tree, you should seriously consider this camera. It will be able to capture shots that would otherwise get away, and help you capture them easily.
Even though this camera is more sensitive than most, there will be times when you simply don't have enough ambient light. The FujiFilm F31fd also incorporates "intelligent flash" technology that will light up the scene when necessary. This feature also works well with the face detection technology. That is, if the important faces in the photo are darker than the background, the Intelligent Flash will light them up, creating a much better shot with more evenly balanced lighting.
The FujiFilm F31fd is not available just yet. It is scheduled to come out in December with a price tag somewhere around $399. However, if your family has a person who loves to take those personal family portraits -- and whose doesn't -- the timing is perfect; this cameras would make perfect holiday gift for that relative.
When the FujiFilm F31fd is ready for pre-order, we will announce it here.
