15X
24 360 mm zoom lens in a compact
Well built body
Sensorshift image stabilization
Beautiful 3inch LCD with excellent outdoor visibility
The F550 is a solidly built, feature packed digital camera that will not let you down. The ability to shoot in RAW and the very bountiful 15x optical zoom lens are touches that push this camera into the “premium” compact range, but cleverly manage to ...
Manual controls and RAW mode, * Adjustable dynamic range mode, * Standout GPS features, * High-speed video and burst modes, * 15X optical zoom lens (24mm to 360mm),
Shadow image noise at low ISO, * Mode dial is a little stiff, Price when rated: $350
Abstract: The Fujifilm FinePix F550 EXR in total measures 4.1 x 1.3 x 2.5-inches (wdh) and weighs just short of a half-pound. It comes in two different colors: black and red. They are both visually-appealing and are built rather solidly. It's size is too large f...
15X optical zoom lens (24mm to 360mm), Manual controls and RAW mode, Adjustable dynamic range mode, High-speed video and burst modes, Standout GPS features
Soft-looking JPG images, Shadow image noise at low ISO, Mode dial is a little stiff
The 15X-zoom FinePix F550EXR has GPS features and in-camera extras that go beyond the norm, but its image and video quality lags a bit behind competitors. ...
15X, 24 360 mm zoom lens in a compact, well built body, Sensorshift image stabilization, Beautiful 3inch LCD with excellent outdoor visibility, Quick autofocus in most situations, DRange Priority feature dramatically reduces clipped highlights, Slightly better than typical compact cameras at higher sensitivities when the High ISO EXR mode is used, EXR Auto mode picks both the EXR and scene mode f
Heavy noise reduction smudges fine details of photos (lower the resolution for best results), Strong corner blurring, which Fuji says is acceptable (quality control problem?), Redeye, Yellow color cast under artificial lighting (or at least my artificial lighting), Manual control woes: only three apertures to choose from at any one time; ISO can't be manually adjusted in shutter priority mode; IS
The Fuji FinePix F550EXR sounds like a fantastic camera when you read its spec sheet. It has a unique sensor that allows you to prioritize resolution, dynamic range, or high ISO performance, plus a 15X, 24 - 360 mm zoom lens in a compact body, a beaut...
There is nothing special about this camera that sets it apart from the wide array of competition. It’s not particularly elegant to use, and I would expect confusion from someone who is not familiar in a basic way with how to operate a digital point-and...
Slim and good looking, Snappy performance (for JPEGS), Versatile lens, handy shooting modes,
RAW write speeds too slow, Video focusing too erratic, Strange burst mode options
The Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR is good looking, well specified camera, that at its best takes appealing photos, while offering 1080p video and GPS. So long as it’s used in JPEG mode, the F550EXR is also a fairly snappy performer and it offers photographe...
Sleek design, 15x optical zoom from 24360mm, 8fps at full resolution, fast AF for a compact.
While good, image quality hasn't improved from the F300EXR. Slow Raw write times.
If you're after an enthusiast focused compact, then you're better off looking at the Olympus XZ-1 or Panasonic LX5, but for those after a solid, all-round compact camera, then the F550EXR fits the bill in many ways and is a very well specified piece of...
The Fujifilm FinePix F550 EXR builds on the success of the previous F300 model with a new 16 megapixel EXR sensor, which expands the ISO range up to 12,800, offers fast continuous shooting speeds and slow-motion movies, and adds full 1080p HD movies. ...
Built-in GPS. 1080p video capture. Solid low-light performance. Special Noise Reduction mode. Manual controls.
Images are soft in the outer regions. Slower-than-average boot-up time.
Fujifilm's FinePix F550EXR is a feature-rich compact camera with a big 15x zoom lens. It even adds a few manual controls and goodies for photo enthusiasts—but its image quality is underwhelming, especially for the $350 price. Buy it now...
