anyway heres a review paste up from pc advisor's site:

Fujifilm FinePix S700 D-SLR camera

Fujifilm's FinePix S700 adds an SLR-style frame to the solid functionality of an advanced point-and-shoot. The Fujifilm FinePix S700's best traits are its long battery life, manual controls, 10X optical zoom, and image stabilization - not a bad combo in a D-SLR.
I don't want to get too off topic and make this a finger pointing game, but I think its important for people to know. There are some manufacturers or websites labeling higher end point and shoots as dSLR cameras. The s700 is one of them, and if you bought it because you thought it was an affordable SLR camera, you were had by the manufacturer. By definition, a dSLR is a digital camera that uses a reflex mirror to take the picture, and thus has removable lenses. If the lens isn't removable, and you cant see a mirror, its not an SLR. If the manufacturer labeled it as such, then they did that as a marketing game, and you were mis-led. It could have an SLR-style body, but sorry, is still not.
