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.

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.

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?
If you bought it you'd save me having to ship it. Today only, Free shipping via JPS .

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.....
