Digital Dinosaur

Anyone remember one of these things? You might be saying..."What the heck is this?!"

This, ladies and gents, is a Fuji Finepix 4700 digital camera. It was introduced in the year 2000,
and sported a 2.4 megapixel sensor. It was one of the first Fuji cameras with the now abandoned
"Super-CCD" technology.

I'm a Fuji fan and I love its cool, "futuristic" look. It's not worth much, if at all, but it certainly
is an interesting relic from digital days gone by. As far as photo quality goes, well, it's not bad
for snapshots, though any modern phone camera should do a lot better.

1/17s f/2.8 at 9.4mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The 1 Mpixel precursor to this was the first digital I almost bought. Hard sell from a guy in a camera store around the corner from Adorama. "One Mpixel is all you'll ever need!" :-)) Thanks for the memory. Vote

I wonder what we will be saying about our today's cameras in 10-15 years from now... :)
Your SP with that old Fuji Finepix is really good, Sam! V.

Like you Sam, I hang on to old cameras, they are like an old friend who I have experienced things with.
I still have my original first Nikon digital camera...a coolpix with the funky two piece hinged design. V
