So the ePhoto 780 has dispelled the myth that you have to pay a lot of money to get an adequate picture from a digital camera. Now the MX-700 is here to disprove the other half of the equation by offering a 1.5 million picel CD and a top resolution of 1280x1024 for well under a grand.
That's not the only good feature on the camera, though. In addition to the viewfinder (which you can use instead of the LCD screen to save on batteries), Fujifilm has seen fit to include a rechargeable battery which lasts considerably longer than traditional batteries, and saves you spending more on additional sets than you did on the actual camera in the first place. (Fuji says that you can expect to get around 250 snaps before the charge wears off, which is impressive). The design of the camera is extremely compact, which doesn't make at the most comfortable to hold: and he 2MB Flash card is only capable of two images at the highest resolution. However, the images are generally very good, although it does - as many digital cameras do - struggle to cope with pictures that contain contrasting areas of light and shade. Aside from this, the MX-700 is up there with the best 'cheap' snappers on the market, and thanks to the dual CPU design, your images are delivered to you alot quicker than on most other models - we found that we had to wait between four and ten seconds for an image to save. Most of the additional features you'd expect on a digital camera are also here, including a macro mode and the ability to manually adjust the settings. On the downside, though, there's no zoom: if Fujifilm had managed to squeeze one of these on the same price, you'd be looking at a total bargin here. A it is, the MX-700 is merely a very good example of a digital camera.
