All good information.
The amount of detail recorded is affected by the number of pixels on the cameras ccd, the more pixels then the more information passing through the lens will be recorded and each resulting pixel in the image will be smaller. This allows for sharper, clearer enlarged pictures.
Some manufacturers including fuji use hexagonal or other more circular shaped ccd receptors to help disguise each pixel.
The sharpness of the image is down to the quality of lens used, both glass quality and size of lens are factors. Generally speaking the bigger the lens the more light it can gather the better the image. This is another reason most SLR's are better than compacts.
The colour rendition, i.e the depth and saturation etc..., is down to the cameras software and the quality of the ccd again.
For internet images which will be viewed on screen and not printed out then an image size of 640 by 480 at 72dpi would appear fine. This was why the first digital cameras operated at this resolution. However an image shot at a much higher resolution then adjusted down to this smaller size will appear better quality due to more information having been recorded in the first place.
I too have a fuji 303 at 3mp and am more than happy with the results. I do tho use a Canon EOS 3 for more creative work.
