This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR 16 MP CMOS Sensor Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom (Red)I love this camera. I have long been a Fuji fan; however, was greatly disappointed with the model I bought before this. I tried to switch to a Canon but was not satisfied with the quality of the photos. After purchasing this camera, we went to Hawaii. I took over 2400 photos and printed over 300 of them (only the best, you know). I had some enlarged to 30" X 22" and have them hanging in my office. People view these photos with awe. I also used the panorama setting and took some amazing panorama photos as well as videos. Fuji, you won back my loyalty.
This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR 16 MP CMOS Sensor Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom (Red)I have had this camera for several months now, I wanted to run it through the paces before posting a review. I have always bought Canon point and shoot's until now, but I have been increasingly disappointed with the quality of the photos, especially on cloudy days and low light settings like dusk. I love taking high quality beautiful photos, but I have never taken the time to learn how to take great pictures. I expect the camera to do all the work, whether it is shooting people, landscapes, macro mode, or the model number off the cable box. In the past, Canons always did that for me. I was getting frustrated, and so I went in search of a new camera. I went to the electronics store and was helped by an extremely avid photographer who went through the different brands in great detail, answering every question I threw at him. In the end, I narrowed it to the Panasonic Lumix line and this Fujifilm camera. I cannot vouch for all Fujifilm cameras, but this one I can fully recommend. (The sales person in the store also said that this model was a significant improvement to the previous one, which had disappointed many Fuji camera lovers. In generally he recommended the Panasonic Lumix line or some of the Sony Cybershots) Although it is a point and shoot, I believe it has the quality of a SLR. Colors always come out vibrantly, in any light settings. The photos are sharp without any fuzziness or blurriness. I always keep it in EXR (auto) mode, but I have played around with Panorama and multiple photo mode, and been extremely pleased with the results. I have taken this to the mountains for skiing, to the beach, to the hills, around the house, it never disappoints. The HD video mode is also excellent - one of the best I have seen on a digicam. Size & Weight : The camera is slightly larger and heavier than the majority of point and shoots on the market. However, I prefer having something to hold onto, as current smaller models fall out of my hands and I have trouble navigating the buttons because they are so small. There is a GPS mode in the camera, but I have not used it yet, as I am happy to tag my own photos when I upload them to the laptop. The only drawback I would say is that the settings dial switching between the different modes is so smooth, that sometimes I accidentally switch the settings when I go to shoot the photo. I have learned to be careful, but on the Canon this was never an issue, as the dial is quite stiff and you have to really turn the dial to get it to the next setting. Battery Life : relatively long battery life, considering it's using a SDHC memory card and has a wide range of functionality. I can take photos all day and not worry about the battery dying mid-day, which is very important for me. However, I do tend to recharge the battery after a full day of use.Pricing : this camera is one of the more expensive cameras out there. I tend to keep my cameras for a long time, maybe five years, so I was happy to pay for the quality and reliability to get beautiful consistent photos. My friend opted for the Panasonic Lumix which was around $150 and getting great results as well, so I believe there are cameras out there that could be considered. I however have totally fallen in love with this style, model, and color, and look forward to using it for a long long time!
This review is from: Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR 16 MP CMOS Sensor Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom (Red)I've had this camera for only about three weeks, and have not yet put it completely through its paces, but I have few complaints.It is extremely powerful, fairly easy to use, and meets or exceeds all of my expectations.Picture quality is IMO very good. The camera works well in low light, providing me with better images than my eyes do, without flash. The video qaulity is also good.The only negative to date is that the autofocus on large numbers of moving objects tends to produce blurry images (I took pictures of t...
