A real beauty, especially in the flesh. Great build & a great price (If they honour it!). I've taken a screen grab but probably a waste of time.

The Blurb:

The FinePix F700 Zoom is the first digital camera to incorporate Fujifilm's innovative Fourth Generation Super CCD SR technology. Set to be a hot topic amongst enthusiasts, this new sensor technology enables the user to capture highlight and shadow detail missed by conventional digital cameras, resulting in images of stunning quality. Fujifilm has dubbed this advance 'High Fidelity Photography', a reference to the sensor's extraordinarily faithful rendition of detail.
Serious photographers will revel in the camera's ability to render photographs of magnificent tonal depth, while enthusiasts and more casual users will easily be able to spot the difference between the images produced by this model and photos from conventional digital cameras. Never before has such serious imaging capability been available in such a straightforward camera.

Fujifilm's Super CCD SR provides a truer representation of the actual subject being photographed, revealing highlight detail and offering a four-fold increase in dynamic range. By using the innovative layout of paired photodiodes, the technology enables confident shooting in both bright and cloudy conditions, combats the bleached-out effect created by flash photography and reduces the exposure latitude - a great advantage in difficult lighting conditions.

Where once a single photodiode was responsible for capturing the full range of light strengths at a single location on the sensor, with Super CCD SR two photodiodes capture information on the same area of the image. These are arranged in a double-honeycomb structure comprising a larger, primary photodiode adjusted for high sensitivity, with a secondary photodiode for lower sensitivity. When combined, they offer four times the dynamic range of conventional photodiodes. This advance in technology might be compared to the evolution of the audio speaker: in an attempt to improve performance, the addition of a secondary high sensitivity cone, or 'tweeter', radically improved range and sound quality.

The FinePix F700 Zoom features a new ultra high-resolution lens that will complement the quality of the Super CCD SR High Fidelity Photography sensor. A step ahead of conventional digital cameras, this model delivers improved picture sharpness with increased optical resolving power, as well as greatly improved autofocus performance for both static and moving images.

bear in mind though that the 6.2MP figure is only acheived through interpolation

Our outdoor results were good for a 3-megapixel camera, but only fair for a 6-megapixel class camera. As I mentioned earlier, I prefer the F700's results at 3-megapixels over the interpolated 6-megapixel images. The 3-megapixel images were consistently sharper and better-saturated at the lower, non-interpolated, resolution setting. We have provided a number of sample images in both resolutions so you can judge for yourself

Being 3 megapixel should not put you off & does not make it a bad camera. I bet it will still outperform 6 megapixel models from no-name brands. There’s more to a photo than purely the number of pixels that make up the image. Sadly, resolution grabs the headlines.

You should also take into account:

The quality of the lens
It’s ability to get correct focus
It’s ability to get correct exposure
etc
etc

Also, Just because it’s not the latest model doesn’t necessarily make it poorer. I used to own a 3 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 880 (out of production 5 years ago) & the quality of the photos it produced still outperform my latest (16th so far), which is a Canon A75.

Please make the title and first post more honest. Fuji can lie about pixels all they want, but no need for people on the forums to help them.

I have placed loads of orders with ebuyer without any problems.

Some people say they have had problems, but you get that with any company.

This has been on their best-seller chart for a month or more and is an excellent camera - I have one.

Thanks

Had a look at this camera, but opted for the now ended Boots £89 Kodak one, but while I was deciding I saw one of these on ebay which sold last night for £120 secondhand with no guarantee and plus delivery.
I really can't understand why people are prepared to bid more for a secondhand item on Ebay than the same item is available for new, with a guarantee and from a reputable supplier.

Yes I noticed that. Either they get carried away with bidding, or thinking it "must be a bargain because it's E bay" and secondhand -but don't know any better and aren't aware of sites like pricerunner.co.uk.
