Dang I wish I'd have payed closer attention in math class....So is this really a 3.5MP camera?

2.2 million effective, wouldn't that make it 2.2mp? Yuck.

** EDIT **

dpreview.com
The verdict? The camera blows, the 4.3mp is just marketing mumbo jumbo. Pictures aren't even as good as a normal 2mp camera.

From what I remember about this camera, it's images are taken at 2.3 megapixel and then digitally interpolated to higher resolutions (up to 4.3megapixel).

<< How good is the image processing though, does it really improve the picture quality? >>

Check out the review at Imaging Resource. Here's the conclusion:

"The Fuji FinePix 4700 is clearly one of the more controversial digicams in recent memory, which is why we elected to wait until a final production model was available before publishing our review. In contrast to at least one recent review, we feel that it does just fine as a 2.4 megapixel camera, as long as you're not fooled into thinking that softness on-screen means low resolution. There's clearly a full ~2.5 megapixel's worth of resolution in its images, just spread out over 4.3 megapixels worth of file "real estate." (We base this conclusion on extensive comparisons between files from the 4700 and a large number of other cameras in the 2.1 -3.3 megapixel range.) In the plus column for the camera, we'd count good color and resolution (again, subject to the 2.5 megapixel note above), the excellent compact Fuji camera design, nice user interface (we really liked the "soft key" jog control buttons), higher than usual ISO speed, and nicely-implemented movie functionality. On the downside, we're just as soon have seen fewer pixels in the final images, and battery life is a bit short, at about 80 minutes of continuous playback. The included high-capacity NiMH cells are a definite plus, and we recommend buying another four or so high-capacity AAs to pack along with you on outings. We see this as a good camera producing high resolution, good color, and good light sensitivity for the "road warrior" (or soccer mom) who wants a compact camera that won't get left in the drawer, more so than for the technophile enthusiast interested in extensive exposure control. Would we buy one? Well, we never answer that question, but will admit to owning a Fuji MX-1700 that's our "bring along" digicam, and the 4700 *does* have more resolution and better low-light performance than that model..."

Seems to me that the extra interpolated pixels just take up storage capacity rather than improve picture quality.

I have the Fuji 4700 camera.
I like it but...

Compared to other Fujis, I think the color is off a bit.
Compared to other Fujis, it tends to blur photos easier.
Compared to other Fujis, there is only 2 AA batteries and they go dead quick.
Compared to other Fujis, it doesn't take as good a photo as 3.3mp.

I would like to say it is a good camera. Compact, easily carried, rugged and well made.
Just be aware of the draw backs and don't think its a 4.3mp camera, because it isn't.
Its interpolated and no way is it near as good as a 4.3mp.

Hope this helps.

Um... Am I missing something or ...
Why can't these "interpolated" image camera's just store the non-interpoltated (smaller) image. Then have interpolation software on your pc puff it up to the larger size. Then you could pull the interpolation trick with any digital camera or even with any digital image. But then the camera companies couldn't scream 4.3 MP . And since it would work with any camera no marketing advantage. I'll bet there is lots of software out there that can do the interpolation trick.

my 2 cents.

I agree. You're paying $339 for a 2.2 MP camera that take twice the storage capacity per image as a true 2.2 MP camera (if you use it in the standard mode, like most people do. This will mean that they'll have to buy twice as many flash cards. I'll keep my Coolpix that I got for about the same price before Christmas using the MSN/Photoalley deal.

These interpolation tricks are marketing gimmicks. It's a way to advertise as a 4.5 mp when it's really a 2.2. My camera uses interpolation, but i just use the resolution where it doesn't interpolate.

i second that.
this is the same hype with all digital zooms.
they're useless.

if you need interpolation... use photoshop.

I would call this a mild deal, this camera looks hard to hold with one hand, cameras coming out now have too high megapixels and not enough zoom or other features, case in point -

Kodak DX4900, comes out next week, 4pm camera but its still .2x optical zoom. it will list for $399, might as well get the DX3900 for $99 less which is basically the same.

Would be nice if there was a 3mp camera that did 4x optical zoom and 3x digital zoom and was around $300 :)

Dont spend over $300 for a 3mp camera as new models are coming out too fast, making today's technology tomorrow's trash.
