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.

Taken recently at only 3MP and resized to fit on Photobucket, but you get the idea: Lighthouse

Basic Specs:

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.

Specifications:

Sensor 6.3 Megapixel
Size 1/1.7-inch
Optical Zoom 6x
Digital Zoom 3.2x
LCD Monitor 1.8-inch TFT
Shutter Speed 15 - 1/10,000 sec.
Voice Memo 30 seconds
Memory Included 16MB xD-Picture Card
16 MB Storage Media xD-Picture Card


High-Performance 19.2x Zooming
Fast and responsive f/2.8 Super EBC Fujinon 6x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 35-210mm) combined with powerful 3.2x digital zoom. Fujinon wide angle and telephoto lens adapters available.
Continuous Shooting Button
Three Modes:
- Top 5-frame: 12.3MP, 5 frames/sec. when shutter button is pressed.
- Final 5-frame: 12.3MP, 5 frames/sec. when shutter button is released.
- Long-Period Continuous Shooting: 1.6 frames/sec. up to 40 frames when set to 1, 2, or 3MP resolution.
Flexible Flash Modes
The FinePix S7000 flash options include Auto, Red Eye Reduction, Red Eye Slow Sync, Fill, Off, Sync, and Power Level modes. External flashes connect via the FinePix S7000s hot-shoe adapter.
Advanced Exposure Controls
Added control to get the exposure you want: Auto, Programmed AE, Aperture-Priority AE, Shutter Speed-Priority AE, Manual EV, and Preprogrammed Scene Position modes. Range of ISO-equivalent sensitivities, from 160-800 Auto, 200-800 manual.

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 handling/braking limit on this car is far beyond anything you’d actually need for street use, but is well mannered and actually rides quite nice (the IRS really helps with these cars in that regard). The solid bushings on the diff make a bit of a clunk when the drivetrain takes up slack, but it doesn’t bother me at all. If I was to nitpick I would say that’s about the only negative strike to drivability for this car and to me it’s a worthwhile trade for the added traction and resistance to wheelhop. They could be swapped out if it’s annoying, but it’s really not bad (besides, it’s a Mustang – they make noises).

The exhaust is pretty loud and sounds very aggressive. It sounds like its much more than it is, but it does have a full exhaust with Flowmaster 40s. I had originally planned on changing to something a bit quieter, but it grew on me after a while so I left it alone.

The car is very well balanced and while it’s no powerhouse it makes plenty of power to have fun on the street or even some classes of racing. I would estimate that it should put down around 255-260 hp with its current mods/tune.

The car is a blast to drive, and I almost hate to part with it, but my priorities have shifted a bit lately and I can’t justify keeping a car I hardly drive.

Minor “Issues”
A/C cycles off/on when it’s turned on. I’m fairly certain it’s a bad pressure switch (easy fix). I have only used the A/C on rare occasions and only recently noticed it was doing this.

There is a fairly deep handlebar rake/ding into the paint on the passenger’s side rear quarter (Last pic below). This happened right before I put the car away for the winter and isn’t bad enough I felt the need to claim it on my insurance or have it fixed.

Price: $9,000 obo
