Well this camera has not been highly rated. THe actualy pixel
count is closer to 2.4. Look at http://photo.askey.net/ for
a pointer to 2 or 3 reviews on this camera.

>From the reviews I've seen the casio, olympus, nikon, and maybe the
canon 3.3meg cameras will be pretty nice. Nikon has the best macro
(and only real macro) of the lot. The sample pictures I've seen from
the Fuji Fine Pix S1 Pro have not been so hot (compared to the D1). Like
the 4700 it is also not a true 6meg pixel but more like 3meg. While I'm
a firm believer that digital will displace film in the years to come --
I do not believe these fuji cameras (or 3.3 meg cameras in general) will do
the trick...

  ||Yes, Acer by all means post that ppt file. 

  ||To slightly change the subject.  Fuji's new 4700 Zoom digi cam is now
  ||shipping. We're talking 4.3 megapixels at less than a grand (that's
  ||$979.00 US to our International members).  Can you say 2400x1800, 3x
  ||aspherical Fujinon  38-114mm/f2.8 lens, 3 metering modes ... multi,
  ||center & SPOT, Shutter speeds 1/2000 to 3 seconds, recycle time of less
  ||than 2 seconds! Wow!  We're talking about a 16.5mb uncompressed image
  ||.... that's a 6"x 8" at 300 dpi! And for a street price by late summer
  ||to be in the $875 range! Wow again! 

  ||Ok if that's not enough to get your motor running let's jump to Fuji's
  ||kick ass Fine Pix S1 Pro ... Ready for this ........

  ||It's a 1.1 inch (hey how big is a 35mm anyway?) super CCD sensor
  ||delivering 6.1 megapixals ( yes a 20mb uncompressed image) on a SLR
  ||platform which is using Nikon lenses.  I have not seen a price quote on
  ||it but it is said to beat up on Nikon's D1.  I thinking less than 3
  ||grand.   If you must see this baby just go here:
  
||http://www.fujifilm.com/tcm.html?x-tempest-op=generic&ContentId=2388&UserTypeId=1&CurrentTopCat=4&pagetype=FocusLevelTwo

  ||All I can say is hey Olympus get off your ass and quit feeding us that
  ||crap about digital cams and traditional lenses.  Right?  Maybe those
  ||corporate weenies at Olympus  will wake up and join in the game instead
  ||of wasting their time whining and making Power Point presentations as to
  ||why it can't be done.
