The FinePix F700 is one of the first Fujifilm digital cameras to use the new high-dynamic-range Super CCD SR sensor. The camera has a 3.1-megapixel Super CCD SR sensor, which can produce a 6-megapixel image thanks to its innovative layout of paired photodiodes. The FinePix F700 also features a fast start-up time of 1.2 seconds, 3x optical zoom, and VGA resolution movie mode, and includes the PictureCradle docking station.
Optics and Resolution
At the heart of the FinePix F700 lies the fourth-generation Super CCD SR sensor, capable of delivering an amazing 6 million recorded pixels (2,832 x 2,128 pixels) thanks to its unique honeycomb design and advanced signal processing.
The FinePix F700 features a new high-resolution Super EBC Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens (with 2.2x digital zoom) that delivers improved picture sharpness with increased optical resolving power, as well as greatly improved autofocus performance for both static and moving images.
Fourth-Generation Super CCD SR
Fujifilm's Super CCD SR provides a truer representation of the actual subject being photographed, revealing highlight detail and offering a four-fold increase in dynamic range. By using the innovative layout of paired photodiodes, the technology enables confident shooting in both bright and cloudy conditions. It also combats the bleached-out effect created by flash photography and increases exposure latitude, a great advantage in difficult lighting conditions.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on XD memory cards; a 16 MB card is included. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.
Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the FinePix F700 is capable of recording VGA resolution videos (640 x 480) with sound at 30 frames per second until the memory card is full. The FinePix F700 can also append up to 30 seconds of audio to images.

Product Description:
The first consumer 6.2 megapixel (S-pixel: 3.1 million, R-pixel: 3.1 million) digital camera, which carries Fujifilm's proprietary new Super CCD SR (Super Dynamic Range) technology. Capturing pictures as real as life, approaching that of film for the first time. Maximum output is 2, 832 x 2, 128 (6.03 million) recorded pixels. The F700 is intended for photo enthusiasts who want a near-film quality print experience from a digital camera. Thanks to its new 4th Generation Super CCD SR technology, which doubles the number of pixels on the chip. The SR sensor mimics the light capturing ability of film, offering 3.1 million large pixels (S) with high sensitivity to light, and 3.1 million smaller pixels (R) with low sensitivity to light. The result is a dynamic range that is four times that of previous Super CCDs. The F700 has a new low distortion 3X optical zoom. In addition, a new rapid continuous auto-focus (C-AF) on-demand mode was combined with its built-in focusing assist lamp and autofocus capabilities. Crisp, clear focus is achieved by holding the C-AF button while taking a picture. The F700's advanced movie mode records full VGA (640x480) resolution at 30 fps with sound. Image playback is on a large 1.8" LCD, and downloading files is as simple as placing the camera in the included cradle and letting Fujifilm's new FinePix Viewer ver. 4.0 do the rest. The cradle also supports a PC-Cam mode and recharges the lithium-ion battery.
