Fujifilm FinePix E900 Zoom Review at DigitalCameraInfo
DigitalCameraInfo have published their review of the new Fujifilm FinePix E900 Zoom, a 9 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens equivalent to 32-128mm and an ISO range of ISO 80 to ISO 800.
“The Fujifilm FinePix E900 is an ambitious camera – at 9 megapixels, its sensor has a higher resolution than Fuji’s DSLRs. The camera is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens that equates to a variable focal length of 32mm to 128mm (35mm equivalent), providing users with a true wide-angle to moderate telephoto perspective. The 1/1.6-inch SuperCCD imaging chip supports a top ISO rating of 800, and the camera’s manual controls are both complete and convenient to use. With a list price of $499 and online prices closer to $400, the FinePix E900 has the features to be a worthwhile step-up from entry-level compacts. “

Fuji is really testing the limits of its 1/1.6" CCD by cramming it with 9
megapixels, and it shows with its uncharacteristically high noise level
for a Fuji camera.

No one cares about noise, Gary, except a few of us. I did my part to line the maker's pockets, as did most of us.. It's time for us all to STOP buying pocket cameras UNTIL the noise issue is addressed! Nothing will change until we excercise our "Tough Love" and send a message.. " Clean up the noise, or else!!"
Pocket cameras that dont have the capability to produce prints equal to film cameras should be considered out-dated! This should be our New Year's Resolution!

As everyone is now (painfully) aware, I've done my part.
The only digicams I have ever bought (for my wife) were the Canon
PowerShot G3, with its 4 megapixel 1/1.8" CCD, and Casio QV-R51,
with its 5 megapixel 1/1.8" CCD. Today they are cramming 7 and 8
megapixels into that size CCD.
There is one notable exception, the Canon PowerShot 610, with its 5
megapixel 1/1.8" CCD, but I have a sneaky suspicion (and that is all
it is, a suspicion) that Canon is using the same CCD they use in their
7 megapixel PowerShot 620 and then simply disabling its 8 megapixel
image size setting. I wish there was some way to know for sure if that
is the case.

Appears that the manufacturers have invested lottsa capital in the stock of mini sensors, you would think that they could, maybe, do a camera that used multiple sensors in a way that produced a noiseless image, like the 3 CCD video camera design, using the current stock! Being a mechanic, all this electronic hokus-pokus is a mystery to me, but I do know that lottsa folks are unhappy that grainless pictures ( equal to a 160 ASA professional film)just isnt available with the current selections.
