I'm considering getting a new Digital. Fuji makes a camera called S602. It seems fine and it costs roughly $800.00. It boasts roughly 6MEGA PIXEL recorded, BUT 3megapixel effective. Now I'm confused. If I use this camera will the ccd really give images equivalent to 3Mega pixels or three. If it records 6 wont I still have the same amount of data but simply a larger file. this is what they show at the fuji website. http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/Products.jsp?nav=-2&parent=471517&product=43860757 Features: 3.1 Million Effective Pixel Super CCD 3.3 Million Total Sensor 1/1.7" Super CCD 6.0 Million Output Pixels (2832 x 2128) Fujifilm's New 3rd generation Super CCD System featuring Pixel Data Coupling Technology for Increased sharpness and color with less electronic noise, and new Pixel-Mixing Technology for improved video capture with greater detail. 6X Aspherical Zoom Captures Images with Astonishing Clarity, f/2.8-f/11; 13 steps. (35 - 210mm, 35mm cameras equivalent zoom). Help me please. Any info is greatly appreciated. Bsteph
