If one reads what they say VERY carefully, what you say sounds to be true: "The FinePix4700 Zoom delivers an ultrahigh resolution image file with 4.3 million pixels in a 2,400 x 1,800 array using intelligent image processing." Well, "delivers" and "image file".... In the specification section they give as one of the specs "Image file size". What a bunch of weasels! Thanks for pointing this out. This is VERY deceptive! I have no problem with interpolation, but I would at least like them to be honest and SAY it, like the scanner manufacturers do, not hide it behind weasel words... - ---------- From: Jim Brick Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2000 10:42 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us; leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Re: Re: Digital resolution At 05:17 PM 4/8/00 -0400, austin@darkroom.com wrote: >The new crop of high end consumer digital cameras are 8 bits/pixel/color, or 24 bits per pixel.

It uses a 2.n (somewhere between 2.3 and 2.7) megapixel sensor. All of the rest of the implied resolution is derived from interpolation. Basically, manufactured data. Fuji is catching a L-O-T of heat about deceiving the public.
