As far as I can tell, it seems to be plastic.fordfanjpn
quick question for you.
since you have the camera at hand, can you please let us know if the tripod mount screw area is plastic or metal.
The plastic mount on my back then when F10 was the first thing to go on that camera....
Thank you in advance!

I'll try to post some real pics as soon as I can. But right now it's raining here, and tomorrow I have an appointment at the hospital for some tests. It should be a nice day tomorrow though, so I'll try to get out and get some shots with this camera.I am gonna have to get one. My F60 has reminded just how good the little Fuji's can be and this one looks set to continue the tradition! Fordfnjpn, thanks for posting this!
Sorry about that. I'll primarily use this as a pocket camera, so it probably won't spend much time on a tripod. Still, it's nice to know that that is a weak point, and I'll be sure to be careful when I do mount it on a tripod. Thanks for the tip.Thanks for the update!
I wish it was metal :thumbdown:

Thanks a lot. I'm afraid my cold has morphed into bronchitis, and it doesn't seem to want to go away. I've been coughing for almost a month now, and it is really wearing me out.Bill -- no apologies necessary! i am amused greatly by the writing on the nasal spray that i don't understand and your tea mug is just classic!
seriously, feel better... colds suck!
Bill, do take care of yourself, I am just now getting over a very bad chest thing/bronchitis/pneumonia so I know how tiring it isThanks a lot.

Glad you enjoyed the nasal spray! I seem to go through a lot of that when we get into the pollen season. The tea mug was a freebie from 7-11. We actually have a whole set of cups and plates. Free is good! :thumbs:

Thanks Lili, I appreciate the sentiment, and I hope you are feeling better now. Hopefully it's true when they say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.Bill, do take care of yourself, I am just now getting over a very bad chest thing/bronchitis/pneumonia so I know how tiring it is
Sorry to hear that. Now I'll definitely take care when mounting the camera on a tripod. Thanks.fordfanjpn
Yes unfortunately after a handful of times mounting my F10 on a tripod, the tripod mount stripped, I have no idea why Fuji is the only company (that I know of) whom insist on making this part out of plastic.
Non the less this looks like a very interesting little point and shoot.
I hope you feel better soon.

This is my first and only Fuji, but I have a friend who has 3 or 4 "vintage" Fuji P&S cameras, so I'll check and see what he has. If he has an F31, I'll see if I can borrow it for a comparison.Hey, since this new camera is low light does 6MP images, it would be interesting to compare against the classic F31Fd or F31 which had maximum resolution 6mp and was the low light champion of its time for point and shoot compacts.
