Hi,

I try to have some news about the F700

From Fuji Canada, Fuji USA and Fuji UK :)

Fuji UK answer and less then one they, no news from the two other

There is the answer:
-----------------
I apologise for failing to provide you with the information you have
requested regarding the F700 model.

We still do not have a confirmed delivery date for the F700 model. The
latest information we have indicates that this camera will be available
from the Summer, from July or August. I'm sorry I cannot be more specific,
but please do not hesitate to contact me at a later date when I will be
glad to pass on to you any more up-to-date information.

Kind regards,

Well, according to akam.no Fuji started the production of F700 last week. When the camera will hit the stores is, however, still a big question. They might chose to wait shipping untill they have larger quantities of the camera in stock and in that case we'll have to wait a month or two.

No, in another article
( http://akam.no/nyheter/2003_06/japan_fujifilm.html )it says that
Fuji will announce another 8-9 cameras in 2003. They expect the
S304 og S602 to be replaced by new models. It was not possible for
the visitors to gather more information than that because all the
conversations with the ingeneers were supervised by the leaders.

All of these different reports are quite confusing and discouraging for us f700 addicts who haunt this talk group.

I did my own probes of the Fuji organization over the past few days:

1. I called the -phone # on the Fuji web site and after 4 or 5 choices on the telephone router, I wound up with a tech support person. I asked when the f700 was coming out. He answered in a friendly and informal manner ( not in the official "programmed" language that we hear from the sales staff at Fuji). He said: "We have one here in our department and we're playing around with it"....." The pictures are great"...... "It's the most advanced camera we have"...... " It will be out in the first two weeks of July".

2. I then called a large camera store in the Boston area where I have my name on the waiting list. Last month the camera manager told me he expected it in at the "end of June- beginning of July". I called him yesterday because I knew the Fuji rep was visiting the store two days ago. He stated that the Fuji rep told him the same thing- that the f700 would be out at the "end of June or the beginning of July".

What are we to conclude from all this? I am hearing the dates above consistently from stores, and together with the increasing message from internet providers that they have it or soon will, I would put my money on July. Is this just wishful thinking?

They have to introduce new cameras soon. Because F700 specs are widely available but delay/pass of the real units and problems with S-CCD IV etc. - have to make new specs, trim the look and make a new model (very possibly with ordinal CCDs inside).
