Dear Shangara and Graeme- I have got the Fuji S7000 since a couple of weeks: - it takes CF/ microdrives and Fuji's xD cards and you can even put two of the three at the same time into the camera and use them. - there are lots of things to say about it but check out http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/fuji-finepix-s7000-reviews.html
I had the Fuji 6900 before as a compact digital and must say the 7000 needs some adjusting: - the noise levels are there- one way around it is to shot in RAW and turn the sharpening in camera to soft - you need to convert RAW files in the supplied software- PS CS can't open them - colours are excellent - what they say: yoou can use it with studio flash up to 1/1000 speed is wrong- any speed is possible (I shot in the studio with 1/3000 without any problem - ISO min. is actually 200 if you don't shot in P (than it varies between 160 and 800) - ISO 800 nur in 3mb mode! I like the camera but can't say that I am over the moon- on one hand it gives you huge filesizes and the colours are great but I am not yet sure for what I will use it and trust it for. I have just scanned a colour negativ with the Minolta 5400 and t h a t is pure quality (at least for me) and a huge filesize compared to this the images I have shot with the S7000... err... I don't really know. With the Fuji 6900 I did not expect very much but was positively surprised with the S7000 I expected much more than with the 6900 and am not sure whether I get it. So good luck to you!
