I bought the fuji mx-4700 and I was wonder is it the best camera made? I went to the store and was about to buy a Mavica but then the sales person convinced me that the fuji mx-4700 is the best camera out there in terms of resolution,size etc. What do you think? What are the pros and cons? Thank you.

No, it is not the best. Unfortunately the pixel claims on the fuji are a very big lie. We all were eagerly awaiting Fuji's new proprietary honeycomb CCD's, and instead of beating the competition, they let us down. I would actually recommend any 3 megapixel camera over this one -- S20, casio, oly, nikon... Choose among these based on your needs for size, manual control, etc..

On the bright side, you did ask BEFORE you bought. :)

Hello there I'm from Germany, and my english is not perfect...sorry After my opinion it's a good buy.Why? -it's the smallest digicam with 3-zoom lens at the moment. (one off the smallest at all). What you want to do with 32-64 of the S20???(It's also a fine camera) -its sharpness, and low-light-performance is as well or even better than most 3.3 MP cameras.(not the resolution)as much i know fuji never promised that. Here in Germany the fuji is even cheaper than S20, and thats o.k.
