Zapped again by the marketing gods!!!

That Fuji has a 2.x (cannot remember, 2.4, 2.8, ?) megapixel sensor. It is
INTERPOLATED (look it up in the dictionary) to 4.3 mp. Read the description
carefully. They say "4.3 mp image size" not a 4.3 mp sensor.

Fuji is the only company that advertises the size of the interpolated file
rather than the actual number of pixel elements.

This is deceiving and has left a bad taste in the digital folks mouths.
