The compact FinePix F401 uses Fuji's third-generation 2.1-megapixel Super CCD sensor, which can produce a maximum image file size of 4 megapixels through interpolation. It also features a 3x optical zoom, 3x digital zoom, movie mode, and voice annotation function.
The 2.1-megapixel Super CCD captures a fair amount of detail, good for prints as large as 8x10 inches. With a user-friendly interface, small size, and good overall performance, the F401 is a good option for anyone just starting out in digital photography and looking for a compact, portable camera.

If you are looking for a camera that can shoot videos, take high quality pictures, and will still fit into the palm of your hand (a large hand) then look no further than the finpix f401. I recently broke my finpix 4700 by dropping it, and they wanted $280 to repair it, so I purchased the f401 for $370. It is quite a nic upgrade as it is half the size of my old camera with better features.

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.
