I don't know but I'll hazard a guess

Fuji CCDs have a high sensitivity part and a low sensitivity part

I have a humble Fuji FinePix A405 and the image quality is quite remarkable.
One of the family bought one, I bought mine and now another member of the
family is hoing to buy an A405.

I have not compared quality across the brands but what I have noticed is a
remarkable lack of burn out in images.  Tonal qualities in clouds and sky
are edible

Maybe I am talking myself into buying S7000 - I hope not, well not yet
anyway,...
