Fuji cameras
I'm thinking of getting a new camera, having lost my canon last year.

Reading a few recent threads, the F31 seems to come out with good comments, so I've had a quick snoop around and this seems to be a good price: GreatDigitalDeals - Great Digital Cameras at Great Prices

Does anyone know of a better deal?

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Thats exactly the deal I got - am well happy with it.

The chap I spoke to was very helpful when I rang up and asked for a bit of info.

They are also a fuji recognised repair centre so can sort out any problems etc...

As for the camera, I, like you browsed on here and around the net and settled on this one. All I can say is I am more than happy with it. The advice offered to me on here was spot on.

Also look for the book "The Digital Underwater Photographer by Martin Edge"

Well worth a read to get you going ....

Given that the F30 is long discontinued, and the F31 unavailable for 4-6 months or thereabouts, there are very few left on the market - so do make sure that anything you see on the web actually has stock! I've seen a few dive shops advertising on eBay who clearly do have some stock left... Good luck!

I don't know about deals but at this pricepoint in the market I can't see a better camera, except that, as some have said, it's getting to be a pretty rare beast indeed. IMNSVHO it's been superseded (F50) by a camera significantly its inferior. See:

I got my F31 and housing from SDS Watersports for £269.99 which is about the average price, I think. Might be worth calling them to see if they've got any in stock.

I ordered mine and it was delivered the next day - superb service
