Sturdy built, easy to use and program. It has a battery life of about 3 shots and then shuts itself off. I'm to say the least quite surprised since I owned this model before and my old one died a natural death. We have a Fujifilm Finepix E550 camera that we have used to take thousands of photographs over the years and we were surprised to see a new one still available (and at a great... In spite of the well-documented imperfections, I have loved this camera and have continued to use it even after acquiring a Nikon D200 (DSLR). I have had this camera for over 2 years and have LOVED the photo quality and ease of use.

The camera is very quick, takes great macro shots and doesn't eat up (rechargeable)... I am so in love with this camera, it served me well for 3 years until my toddler destroyed it. I now have the dilemma of finding a new camera I will love as much. The camera is fine as long as nothing goes wrong. Fuji has the worst customer service I have ever delt with. This camera has served me well over the last few years. There are a few things that you need to be aware of however. The first thing is that the flash has a delay. As a golfer and a picture-taking fan, this camera is soo good...and you can take movies with sound.... dCables Fuji FinePix E550 USB Cable - USB Computer Cord for FinePix E550 See and discover other items: keh cameraOur apologies, the requested page was not found.

Controls intelligently laid out and easy to understand. Good-sized, easy to read LCD. Good video ability makes camera even more versatile. Underpowered flash can slow camera down, especially when shooting at telephoto. Can't zoom when shooting video. We wouldn't mind seeing a few more scene modes. Uses xD memory, which is more expensive and than other memory-card formats. You won't miss shots with the 6MP FujiFilm FinePix E550, and you'll be very satisfied with the photos you create, which give the 7MP competition a run for its money. The camera starts quickly, focuses quickly and has very little shutter lag. The zoom lens starts wide enough for groups and landscapes. We just wish the flash had a little more oomph. The Fujifilm FinePix E550 6.3MP compact boots as fast as any digital camera we've tested (aside from digital SLRs).

Focus is quick and there's hardly any lag on the shutter release or from shot to shot, as long as you're shooting without flash. The E550 uses Fujifilm's own SuperCCD HR sensor, which competes well with the spate of 7MP cameras recently released on the market, especially when shooting at the intelligently interpolated 12MP mode. Real Estate For Sale In Teramo ItalyWe're quite enamored of the E550, which takes very good images with little fuss.

The body is mostly plastic, but it has a metal front plate and a comfortable handgrip protrudes on the right. Buttons are few but well chosen and positioned, and we found it easy to compose and review our images indoors and out using the bright 2-inch LCD. Press the Power button to the left of the shooting mode dial and the camera lens quickly appears from behind its protective cover. With the flash off you can be ready to shoot in 1.5 seconds, and (again, with the flash off) recycle time between shots is just 1.1 seconds. We like that the E550's zoom starts from a fairly wide 32.5 mm (in 35-mm film camera equivalence) rather than 35 mm or 38 mm as many similar cameras do, and it zooms all the way out to 130-mm telephoto, for a 4X total zoom. Our favorite lenses start even wider (compare to 28 mm on the Canon PowerShot S70 and 24 mm on the recently announced Nikon CoolPix 8400) but 32.5 mm will definitely do for most landscapes and group shots. The E550 isn't teeming with special scene modes.

It just has the basic four: portrait, landscape, sport, and night scene, but it does have all the options and manual controls that one would want in this type of camera—white balance, metering pattern, and auto-focus method. The camera uses two double-A batteries (a pair of rechargeables and a charger are included) and xD memory cards. Fujifilm includes a 16MB card in the box, good for about ten 6MP pictures. xD is tiny, but while it's not difficult to find, it's not as popular as SD or Compact Flash memory and therefore tends to be more expensive. To take flash photos, you have to pop up the E550's flash. This is handy if you like to shoot without flash, since you won't have to search for a button or menu item to disable it. We, however, suspect ulterior motives on Fujifilm's part. Pop up the flash and the camera is no longer a speed demon: It still takes just under 2 seconds to start up but 4.1 seconds to go from shot to shot while the flash charges. Switch to the camera's 12MP mode and the times are 1.8 and 4.9 seconds, respectively.

The flash is also underpowered (it's especially weak when shooting at full telephoto), so Fujifilm bumps the camera's ISO up to 200 for most flash shots. This introduced some noise but not an objectionable amount. Our flash test images were evenly illuminated, though the whites were a little blown out and the image was somewhat cool. Speaking of ISO, this was another area where the E550 impressed us with its speed. We shot plenty of images at ISO 400—ideal for shooting lower light settings without flash. While there was definitely noise in these pictures, we could live with it. The E550 can even go to ISO 800, though only at a maximum of 3MP. We found ourselves shooting a lot of video with the E550 as well. The camera can record at 640 x 480 and 30 fps with audio, up to the capacity of the memory card. While not DV-camera quality, it was more than acceptable and you can't beat the convenience. Unfortunately, you can't zoom while recording. The E550 did well on our benchmark tests at its 6MP setting, averaging 1,375 lines of resolution—not quite up to the standard set by the 7MP cameras that we've tested so far, though it's close to the Sony P150—and 2.2 percent transition pixels (which is good, but subpar for this roundup).
