It takes 6.3 Megapixel (Interpolated to a 12 MP recording - 4048 × 3040 Pixels) huge resolution high-quality photos or you can scale it back down to 1 or 2 MP for basic shots. The zoom goes out to 6x and digital zoom will take it much farther (although it’s not needed). I was going to get into photography as a hobby a while back and bought way more camera than I need. I hardly use it, so it’s going away. I bought a decent little camera to replace it, but so far I have been less than impressed. The camera I bought is highly regarded for its size… but I am just spoiled by this one.

The FinePix S7000 is designed around the entirely new 1/1.7-inch 4th-Generation Super CCD HR sensor, employing an amazing 6.3 million effective pixels* to deliver ultra-high resolution images of 4048 × 3040 (12.3 million) recording pixels.

Made possible through Fujifilm’s advanced miniaturization technology, and optimized in tandem with a newly developed state-of-the-art image-processor, the 4th-Generation Super CCD HR ensures greater sensitivity, higher signal-to-noise ratio, wider tonal range, and consistently superb color reproduction. The FinePix S7000 processes even large image files with remarkable speed, and the on-board ASIC processor permits rapid-fire shooting.

This camera alone was $699 just a couple of years ago when I bought it. It’s in like-new condition.

I’m thinking $350 obo (plus shipping) for:
•Camera
•Matching padded bag
•Batteries and charger
•16 MB XD card (came with it)
•256 MB XD card•Jump-Drive Adapter (allows you to use the media card as a jump-drive and makes it really easy to offload your pics to any computer – no software needed)
•I think I have the FinePix software, but I don’t use it – the jump-drive Is great.
•Tripod

This is a nice piece and twisted focus is a good friend of mine, you won't have any issues.

Weren't you just telling me you needed to replace your Cannon digicam?

I may be interested but I have to talk to wifey about it.

I've got the 5100, and really like it. I'm sure this one is even better.....
