Pontos Fortes: Well priced, 6+mp, alot of features.
large 2 inch LCD screen.
Clarity of photos and ease of use
Pontos Fracos: Camera uses 2 AA cells, no cradle included,
No Auto pop-up flash.
Uses XD picture card which more costly than others and only comes with a 16mb card.
Resumo: I bought the camera during Christmas shopping and I highly recommend it. Great for point and shoot and is easy for novice and has great features for the experienced photographer. Buttons are great for people with large hands , which is a problem I've experienced with some of the smaller cameras. I had to buy a 256MB memory card as the 16MB card included in the package is too small and really is not enough they should have included at least a 32MB card. The menu is easy to operate. I like the twistable LCD feature of the Cannon A95 but I like the larger LCD screen of the Fuji. I would have preferred the Flash to pop-up automatically instead of having to press a button manually every time or Fuji should have integrated the flash in the body. All in all it's a great camera with great features.

Pontos Fortes: amazing pics, great video mode, lots of manual controls, large lcd, ease of use, size,nimh batteries
Pontos Fracos: xd cards, and as with many digital cameras, takes practice to get good low light pics(but takes about the same as with my canon)
Resumo: I had a canon a75, which i loved...it took great pics and was easy to use. It got very noisy and started make grinding noises, so sears upped me to the a85...i was very unhappy with the picture quality and sent it back and went with the fuji e550-which i LOVE...i am not very knowledgable with all the manual controls, but i am trying to learn. I love pretty much everything about my camera, but am thrilled with the video mode. I chose a camera over a video camera for the time being, and now probably wont purchase a video camera for quite a while. The picture quality is amazing and yes, sometimes there is bad pics, but the same is true for film cameras...a lot of the time it isnt the camera but the one clicking the pics...This camera is very light(much lighter than my canon) and is very easy to use...i wish it had auto rotate(after taking a pic sideways, the camera automatically adjusts it) but this is minor and can be done on the computer...battery life is very good, although not quite as good as my canon, but i would choose the fuji over the canon anyday..I also like the 4 times opitcal zoom, just that little bit more than the 3 times...I highly recommend this camera!!!

Pontos Fortes: Quick response, clear images, manual as well as auto, you choose when to use flash also the use of AA batteries are a plus. The camera is larger than some designer cameras, but it is still pocketable.
Pontos Fracos: A longer zoom would be nice, however in a camera this size, it probably wouldn't work.
Resumo: What I like about this camera is it's really fast start-up and little shutter lag time. It produces great images and is great for traveling. I toss mine in my backpack and it's been to many different countries with me. If I run out of batteries(the battery life is quite good, but you never know), I can always use AA's in a pinch although rechargable are always preferable. You really can't go wrong, especially at the prices you can get online. If mine breaks, I'm getting another, 6megs is enough for me, although it is said to interpolate(?) to 12megs.

Pontos Fortes: Great package (retailer special) at a great price. The Fujifilm reputation for Super CCD is well earned.
Pontos Fracos: Plastic case, USB 1.1 interface.
Resumo: 2004-12-14 17:24:52 Thus far, this is the hands-down best package deal I've seen for 4+ MP. With the significant quality jump (thanks to CCD sensor size) in the 6MP range, this camera is a steal, especially considering it against comparable P&S cameras in the 4 or 5 MP range.
One issue encountered was in the software install. One of the software components locked up during install under XP, resulting in system instability. Rebooting probably would solve the problem, though I did a complete uninstall/reinstall.

Pontos Fortes: price, size, clarity of photos, ease of use, features, rechargable batteries, size of LCD screen, zoom
Pontos Fracos: inability to add different lens,
Resumo: I have had a number of lower level digital cameras but never one of this quality, especially for the price of a little over $300. The camera at this stage is even better than I thought. I am looking forward to using it much more and trying the software. At this time I highly recommend this unit which is easy to use, gives a 6+ megapixil photo and has a great 4X optical zoom plus 3X digital on top. It's a winner!

Pontos Fortes: Easy to Use, Small, great pics on 6M level
Pontos Fracos: needs to come with bigger xD card. cover for USB adapter coudl get easily lost - not connected.
Resumo: I like this camera and would buy again. It is very lightweight but sturdy. It is very easy to use. I think it should come with a bigger memory card included in the bundle. It comes with an easy to understand manual.

Pontos Fortes: Best valued camera on the market. High resolution. Camera is easy to learn how to use. Fast USB transfer rates.
Pontos Fracos: Horrible night pictures. Too small. Eye-hole for viewing taking pictures is too flush up against back of camera--my oily nose goes into the LCD screen.
Resumo: I have been wanting to purchase a digital camera for such a long time, but I could never find a good camera for a good price. After doing a lot of research, I decided to purchase the Mintola Z3 (4 megapixel, 12x optical zoom) for $350 dollars.
I was just about to purchase the Mintola Z3 until I saw the Fujifilm E550 camera for sale for $300 - $50 (Fujifilm mail-in rebate) - $5 (Pricegrabber.com mail-in rebate) = $245! I think that this is the best camera for the price that you can find right now. I see a lot of 5+ megapixel cameras in the sales paper for way over $300 dollars.
Despite the price, when I received the camera, my first impressions were: "Hey, this camera is too small!" Now, I know that size probably doesn't matter with a lot of people, but I just hate awkward sized electronic devices. For instance, when the XBOX came out, they had these huge controllers that were heavy and bulky. I hated them so much. Eventually Microsoft remade the controllers; they made them smaller. I hope they would re-make the Fujifilm E550 so that it was a little larger--that would be great.
After toying with the camera for several hours and taking about 200+ photos, it was getting late, and getting much darker. I noticed that the pictures were also getting darker. I then took the camera outside, keep in mind that it is night time now, and took some pictures. Now, I am not a professional photographer, but the pictures were really dark. I do not think that this camera takes good night shots. Also, some of the pictures were really red.
Once I had a couple pictures that I liked, I hooked the camera to my computer through the USB cable. The software was pretty easy to use. I was able to transfer at about 5-6 megabytes per second. I transfered about 100 pictures and it took no time at all.
This is my first digital camera, but I really like it so far. I probably have a lot to learn about it, but I am up for the challenge. Though from my experiences with the camera so far, I really think it rocks. I would recommend any amateur photographer, like myself, to purchase this camera.

Pontos Fortes: Option to add on telephoto lens, and great MP for the price.
Pontos Fracos: Only a 16MB picture card! Come on that will only store about 6 pics.
Resumo: I shopped around for several different cameras. This was the best camera by far for the price. The optical zoom on it far surpasses the competition. Also, the mail in rebate of $50 further cut the costs.

Pontos Fortes: High resolution, long optical zoom and easy to use.
Pontos Fracos: Very small memory comes with the camera.
Resumo: I like the high resolution (6 mp) and long optical zoom (4 times). The big LCD screen is also very nice. The rechargeable batteries and the recharger are pretty good and can save you money. The recharger has AC input ranging from 100-240v which allows wide adaptability. I will use it in China, and it can work well there.

The first week I had the E550 it was great! It too ...
Pontos Fortes: Uses AA batteries, Great video with sound
Pontos Fracos: High priced memory card, Malfunction after 1 week of use
Resumo: The first week I had the E550 it was great! It took great pics and video with sound. After my first week, the camera lens got stuck in the extended position and the lens cover would not open. I've sent the camera to the Fuji Repair shop and am waiting to hear back from Fuji. When it was working properly, I loved it. I know that with any product there are bound to be a few with problems so I'll reserve my final judgement of the E550 until I get it back from Fuji.

Pontos Fortes: it provides high quality photograph and comprehensive operation.
Pontos Fracos: The blind button is too close to power switch, leading accidental power off.
Resumo: 2005-01-01 22:11:05 This product is a best choice for me at this price level. Its almost professional settings offer me multiple choices for taking photos. Its big screen also attracts me a lot, although it is a little buttery-consuming. Overall, i would like to highly recommend it to everyone.

Overall I am pretty happy with this camera. I was ...
Pontos Fortes: Good price,quick startup,good picture and video quality,Easy to use menu options
Pontos Fracos: The flash does not pop up automatically,16 MB memory card is too small for a 6.3MP camera,
Resumo: Overall I am pretty happy with this camera. I was able to get a 256MB XD picture card for 45 dollars on ebay and i can now store about 150 photos. I would also recommend a mini tripod which is very handy to take pictures without any shake.The camera had a problem with the lens, it was stuck out and a "zoom error" message appeared. I had to send the camera to the dealer. It looks like this is one problem that they did anticipate and i wonder why they did not fix it.

Pontos Fortes: Large LCD screen, response times, tweakablity, resolution
Pontos Fracos: slightly bulky, flimsy flash mechnism, weak night shooting
Resumo: This is a great point and shoot camera for intermediate amateur photographers who are looking for a lot of features in an affordable package. For the money, FujiFilm packs a ton of shooting power into a sweet piece of hardware. The 4X optical zoom comes in handy when composing shots and the 6.3MP resolution ability allows for quality post-editing.
The LCD screen is bright, clear and ample. Tweaking resolution, ISO settings, flash modes, etc. are easily changed with a few button strokes.
The camera body is slightly uncomfortable in the pocket, but this is understandable with a camera of this caliber. Build quality is good with the exception of the manual pop-up flash mechanism. This is definitely a weak point that should be looked after. I'd hate to see the repair bill for a camera like this.

Pontos Fortes: * Fast startup time.
* Easy to use right out of the box
* Advanced options and features allows greater range of control
Pontos Fracos: * Camera viewfinder LED next to optical viewfinder makes it difficult to see through viewfinder in low light situations (the LED tends to blind you)
Resumo: Although I just recieved this camera a few days ago, it has already proved itself a worthwhile investment. The camera truly shines in picture quality and shutter speed. For the price, I would heartily recommend to anyone who needs a great point and shoot camera.

Pontos Fortes: Wide 32.5mm lens, well compressed 6.3 mp to 1.6mb. 800asa mode, very good color and resolution. AA batteries, very fast startup, low lag time.
Pontos Fracos: no synch port for external flash
Resumo: 2005-05-22 09:22:40 UPDATE FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW: Paid $332 at Buydig, included shipping and 512mb XD card. 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, but is borderline bulky because of the handgrip (which is very good as a grip). It offers a 32.5mm (35mm equivalent) wide angle, which is best in its class, and with its 4x zoom, goes up to 130mm (35mm equivalent). The flash exposure and color balance is very good, especially the custom white balance. Too bad the camera doesn't offer external flash synch capability (very few do in this class). The 6 megapixel resolution and compression produces the best pictures for normal printing. The 12mp modes may be good for producing and printing large posters, but don't add anything for computer viewing. The 3mp mode offers an 800 ISO rating, and does a very good job where the lighting is low (and flash won't work) or to stop motion. The image quality is very good, almost excellent. AA size batteries offer cheap and readily available power. The movies are also quite good (640x480 at 30fps) and compress to about 50mb per minute (full video is 200mb per minute). Best of all, the camera is only about $265 shipped from Buydig (a great on-line store).
I just purchased a Sunpak Digital Flash Adapter with built-in slave. I used my old Vivitar 285 with it and on mode #1 it works great (after I used a piece of aluminum foil to create a contact). It even works in redeye mode (the preflash doesn’t trigger the slave unit). Of course, the Fuji E550 must be set to manual and the F-stop preset to coordinate with one of the Vivitar’s 4 flash settings. At F4, at 100ASA, I can take a picture at 60 feet. I plan to shoot a wedding with this setup.
