At ISO 1600 the Canon's image is all but unusable, whereas the F31fd is just about holding on to enough detail (and showing little enough noise) to be useful in situations where you simply don't have an alternative, particularly if you're only intending to produce small (say 6x4") prints. There simply isn't another compact camera on the market that can get close to results like these - if you want better ISO 1600 you need to buy a digital SLR.
