Includes: FujiFilm FinePix 4700 Digital Camera, 16 MB SmartMedia Card, Hand Strap,
Ni-MH battery charger, 2 Ni-MH batteries, USB cable, AV cable, CD-ROM
(USB driver, Exif Viewer, AdobeRPhotoDeluxeT Home Edition 3.0). |
About half the size of many digital cameras, the Fujifilm FinePix
4700 weighs just 10.8 ounces with batteries and media. Yet the camera
captures high-quality images under outdoor-lighting conditions, offers
user-friendly operation, and takes it easy on the eye with a powerful
viewer zoom and bright-colored LCD. Poor image quality under
indoor-lighting conditions limits its usefulness, but the FinePix 4700 is
a good choice for businesses and families who want a compact 2-megapixel
camera for outdoor use.

I
recently purchased this camera and I love it! It's extremely easy to
use, takes fabulous photos, and is easy to hook up to my computer. I
take it with me everywhere I go since it's so small and portable. The
battery life is long lasting too. :) I highly recommend this camera.

The Lowest Price is not always best !
 When you buy a digital camera, the basic package almost always includes
extras such as a battery charger, lens cap, batteries, flash memory card, and software.
One of the more disreputable practices a dealer can engage in is called unbundling. These
dealers remove items from the package that are normally included in the price and
price them separately.
When purchasing
a camera you have three components of the price to consider - the camera price, postage and
handling, and taxes. Many dealers lower the price to make the camera more attractive, then
increase the postage and handling to boost their profits.
Hesitate before
accepting extended warranties. Every knowledgeable consumer expert says it's better to
gamble. Most of a company's profit is in the sale of these warranties so they press, and
press hard. Your job is to resist, and resist hard. The only thing to keep in mind is that
digital cameras can be horribly expensive to repair. If you want peace of mind, you may
want the warranty, even though it's probably overpriced. The cost of a repair can
approach, or even exceed, the original purchase price.
When you buy a
camera from a reputable dealer, you expect to be able to return it if you aren't
satisfied. Some dealers try to discourage this by requiring a restocking fee for returned
merchandise. This is always explained as a way to recover their costs of checking the
merchandise and restoring the packaging you may have opened.
Many dealers is
truly a false, deceptive and a total crook. Bait and switch tactics used. Does not sell
new merchandise and will ship used or refurbished goods without notifying customer. They then
try to charge a restock fee on top of their exobitant shipping fees to make a profit where
they could not on their goods. A try case of buyer beware.
