  • Fuji FinePix E550 6.3-Megapixel Digital Camera - This Super CCD Is Not So Super

    Oct 11 '05
    Pros: Price, features, manual controls, image quality, wide angle, batteries, resolution, battery life, fast
    Cons: Uses expensive xD cards, poorly-implemented manual focus, soft corners at telephoto

    Summary: After trying out the 5 .2-Megapixel Fuji FinePix E510, I decided to check out the F uji FinePix E550 that features a 6.3-Megapixel Super CCD HR and can provide files of up to ... read more

  • Fuji FinePix - The way to go!!

    Jan 04 '08
    Pros: Great color, fast shutter, value price
    Cons: a bit on the bulky side

    Summary: I have had this camera now for almost one and a half years and its still plugging away. For those of you that are looking for value camera that works great then this is the perfect choice. I first purchased this camera before going on a family ... read more

  • Excellent Digital Camera for Beginners or Experts

    Jan 15 '07
    Pros: Clear pictures great video mode quality 2" LCD screen Excellent Flash
    Cons: Slightly Bulky, doesn't fit in pocket

    Summary: I've owned my Fuji E550 Digital Camera for over a year now. I've always been a beginner with cameras. With the exception of pointing, focusing, and clicking, I know nothing else about picture taking. So at first, having a digital camera seemed ... read more

  • Overall a responsive camera with only a few faults

    Jun 28 '06
    Pros: Quick from turn on, Good resolution, colors, size and controls.
    Cons: Focus in dim conditions, tendency to underexpose, screen doesn't rotate.

    Summary: The camera is responsive, starts very quickly and able to take a picture pretty quickly. The resolution is pretty impressive as well for a 2 year camera, and the quality of the pictures is good as well. The camera has a semi metal body, and it took ... read more

  • PERFECT for an average mom! Good 1st digital cam.

    Mar 23 '06
    Pros: EASY to use if you want a basic first digital camera, reasonable price.
    Cons: Weak flash.... ????

    Summary: I am by no means a camera expert. To say my knowledge (or interest for that matter) is above average would be highly generous. I want a camera that is basically a point-and-shoot. If it has the potential to do more - that's great, but whatever. ... read more

  • A Major Disappointment or a Lemon?

    Feb 13 '06
    Pros: 6 megapixels, 4x optical zoom
    Cons: PHOTO QUALITY!!, not user-friendly, manual flash

    Summary: I owned the Fuji Finepix E550 for just over one year and bought it after reading all of the positive reviews on this website and others. Also, Consumer Reports Magazine has consistently rated this camera well. The picture quality and brightness of ... read more

  • Just About The Best Deal

    Feb 04 '06
    Pros: Best zoom 32.5-130, Best res. 6mp. Accurate exposure, features, AA batteries, for the best price
    Cons: no external flash (this can be circumvented, with the Sunpak Digital Camera Flash Adapter)

    Summary: The Fujifilm E550 offers excellent features and performance. It is quick to start, quick to focus and very low on lag time. The exposure is also very accurate. In terms of weight, at 8.5 oz with batteries (the XD card weighs nothing) it can be pocketed, ... read more

  • Fuji E550 and other Fuji cameras

    Feb 01 '06
    Pros: E550 Magnificant EVEN at 3 MP,12 MP-fine IS BETTER THAN 100ASAFILM.
    Cons: Z.O.O.M.E.R.R.OR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Summary: I have 2 E550 fujifilm cameras and my wife has an A303 fujifilm. It first started with the A303: dreaded: "ZOOM ERROR". It never worked again. It was just out of warranty so Fuji charged me about $65 after I told them that my 2 E-550s also show zoom ... read more

  • Battery Eater

    Jan 14 '06
    Pros: Hi-resolution for the price and many features.
    Cons: Unreliable and fragile.

    Summary: Bought the E550 for my wife for Christmas last year (2004) and also one for my daughter in December 2004. After about 10 months both began to eat batteries so I began to test the batteries. A fully charged rechargeable registers about 1475 on my ... read more

  • Great camera for the price!

    Dec 24 '05
    Pros: Great photo quality, fast start-up time, large 2 inch LCD screen
    Cons: Poor focus in very dark situations, pop-up flash is somewhat annoying at times.

    Summary: I have had the Fujifilm Finepix E550 for about a year now and this is the best camera I have ever owned! Before I owned this camera, I owned a cheaper 2 megapixel camera. My old camera was not giving me the ability to crop and print large pictures. ... read more

  • Blurred Vision

    Dec 15 '05
    Pros: Seemed like a good deal for the price at the time of purchase.
    Cons: Blurry images, pale color, took Fuji 3 months to return camera when zoom broke (defect).

    Summary: I have to say I'm surprised to see such good reviews on this camera. I've owned it for about 9 months now, and finally broke down to admit I need to buy a new camera, and consider this one a loss and waste of money. Our previous camera was a Canon ... read more

  • $280 down the drain.

    Dec 05 '05
    Pros: Great pics on a tripod and really fast startup time.
    Cons: Nearly every hand-held picture taken was blurry.

    Summary: After 5 years with my Sony DSC-70, I figured it was time to finally upgrade. I could even get a low or mid tier camera that would have more megapixels and features than my old Sony, so it seemed like a no lose situation. Just to be on the safe side, I ... read more

  • Good choice

    Oct 06 '05
    Pros: Clarity of 6 mp is stunning, more than qualified for casual point-and-shoot parents
    Cons: Flash is a little weak and slow

    Summary: I am very amateur, but wanted to take high quality photos of the kids. I first tried a Sony 4mp camera for the same money, going with that brand name reputation and a friend's good experience. I thought all the photos came out very fuzzy. Tinkered ... read more

  • Handle with care- buyer beware

    Sep 24 '05
    Pros: When the camera works, beautiful results,
    Cons: When it doesn't, buyer beware! Prepare for a nightmare!

    Summary: Had purchased two, one for a present (which is now still awaiting repair!) One for personal use... Only issue is the gift! Lens cover does not open, thus the camera is inoperatable. Discussed with Fuji Customer Service back on the 12th of Aug, ... read more

  • Great compact camera with lot of features and only minor drawbacks

    Aug 19 '05
    Pros: Extremely useful zoom range and video Low shutter lag good handgrip Excellent value for money
    Cons: Very small viewfinder LCD not so good in bright light

    Summary: I am an owner of 35mm Canon camera with lot of lenses (from 20 f2,8 to 80-200 f2,8). I have purchased this camera before a trip to Greece as I needed a very small and light camera that I could put into a pocket or pouch. Bringing 2 Kg of photo equipment ... read more
