 Sure Looked Good on Paper Pontos Fortes: When it works I get good pictures
Pontos Fracos: Lens fails to collapse. 6 months in repair Fuji repair, lost my camera, 3 months later pixel loss blotch on display, camera lense freezes, severe battery drain, over light sensitive
Resumo: Had camera for 3 months when lens stuck. At Fuji natl. repair for 6 months, they lost my camera, multiple calls to no avail, offered horible (specs) replacement, mis-represented completion. 2 months later large blotch (pixel loss?) on display. Severe battery drain. over sensitive to light. Lens still sticks. Can't recommend camera, Fuji service or Fuji engineering. Afraid to return to Fuji. Write off!!

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: Plenty of good features, leaving scope for personal settings of aperture etc..
Good zoom,clear sharp pictures
Optical viewer useful in strong sunlight
Pontos Fracos: ON/OFF power button.
Cover for USB etc. outlets
Resumo: Unfortunately my camera has had to be returned to Fuji to re-set the software.
IF THE CAMERA IS IN A CASE AND SET FOR "SHOOT" MODE TOUCHING THE POWER BUTTON EXTENDS THE LENS WHICH IF IT IS UNABLE TO EXTEND FULLY THE CAMERA NEEDS RESETTING!! TAKE CARE.
If the software could incorporate a device to ensure that the camera is in "View" mode before it could be switched off this problem would not occur.
As I discovered re-setting includes refurbishment by Fuji and IT IS EXPENSIVE.

Pontos Fortes: Easy to use, best 6mp camera available out there.
Pontos Fracos: None
Resumo: I have been using this one for last one month, Its the best amateur camera out there. If you are like me who doesn't know much technical details this is the one to go for. Great resolutions and works pretty good at low light conditions too. Few of my friends had this, I was very impressed by their views and www.dpreviews.com gave it 5* ratings.

Pontos Fortes: - Great Price
- 6+ mp pixels
Pontos Fracos: - Cheap Rubber Door for the USB connection kept coming off so I just left it off.
- Flash a little weak for objects further than 10 feet.
Resumo: I have had this Fuji E550 for over a year and 4500 pictures later it is still going strong. The pictures are very high quality but make sure you keep the camera steady when taking that photograph. My wife has a tendency to move the camera when taking the picture and yes the photo will come out blurry.
Steady hand will yeild a clear shot. Camera does great with outdoors pcitures and the video is decent. (600x480)Make sure to get a larger x-D card as I have a 512mb that I use. Also invest in extra rechargeable batteries that will pay for themseleves in no time.
Overall an excellent digital camera with extra features that wil keep the expert busy but not overwhelm the first timer.

Stay away from E550
Pontos Fortes: Battery last and the image is Ok
Pontos Fracos: Heavy, big and unreliable
Resumo: This was my 3 Fujifilm camera that I bought. I wish I never did.
The camera is heavy when loaded with the batteries. It is also big and awkward in shape.
In my experience it is unreliable as well. I bought mine brand new. To my chagrin, the zoom unit failed only 5 days and some 30 pictures after I started using it on my long-awaited European vacation.
I sent the unit for repairs on October 3, 2005, and I was just told that I can expect to get it back in two weeks (45 days later). To make the story complete, the customer service guy hang up the phone on me.
My loyalty to Fuji is gone. Moreover, I will never touch their products again.
I realize that my case is probably extreme and unfortunate, but I will strongly encourage you to stay away from this product. There are better companies and products!

Disappointed
Pontos Fortes: Good indoor resolution, good sized LCD, AA alkaline batteries.
Pontos Fracos: Blurry photos, extremely poor outdoor quality.
Resumo: I was so excited to put my new camera to use. I went outside (good weather conditions in the early evening--not too bright) and tried it out. The pictures were just one big white mess. I couldn't even see anything. I tried it under auto and manual settings, and nothing worked. Very disappointing!!

After 3 weeks of trial and error, I have achieved ...
Pontos Fortes: Resolution, low shutter lag ( especially in burst mode ) Easy to use. Many features. Price is right!
Pontos Fracos: Flimsy/awkward battery compartment door. Plastic thread hole for tripod mount. No thread hole for cable release of shutter. No sync for auxiliary flash. Flash a tad weak. LCD viewing on bright days.
Resumo: 2005-06-27 20:47:57 After 3 weeks of trial and error, I have achieved some very good results in indoor, close-up ( 5 inches give or take an inch ) imaging. Holding the camera, I use a white background and ISO settings from 100 to 200 and aperture of 5.6 to 8; and a shutter of 1/60; and, I define the focus area. Final image requires tweaking with software but this is to be expected. A heavily cropped 6 mp closeup ( 1.5 mb file ) is an acceptable screen image. I have printed several 5X7s and an 8X10 from heavily cropped 12 mp close-ups ( 4.9 mb files ) and they look great. I still lament that a lens mounted flash is impossible on such a fragile, telescopic lens. I had no illusions - this camera was designed primarily for scenery, where it excels.
Well it appears I spoke too soon about this camera's excellent performance when shooting scenery. I recently took several shots of the sky after recalling one of my early shots had two anomalous spots ( possible localized areas where the ccd sensor burnt out ) The image is unsuitable for printing. Sure enough, there was repetition of this condition. I was told this might occur in a camera several years old with moderate use. All my images have the spots; ranging from obvious to faint. ( my heavily cropped prints avoided the spurious spots ) I have suspicians, and they probably will remain just that. Can't prove a thing. This is likely to be my first and last purchase of a digicam. Durability is a real issue here. Down with digital!

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.

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: easy to use, pictures are clear, easy to print pictures from computer
Pontos Fracos: directions are too long, not quiet easy to follow
Resumo: The camera is easy to use. It is small, easy to carry about, the carring case is great, because it is small and can be easily misplaced. The pictures are sharp and clear. I can take many or few pictures that I care to as I have the 268 picture card. The price was better than any other camera that was considered.

 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.

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: 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: Excellent Quality pictures and movies,
High dynamic range,
Fast startup/low shutter lag,
Easy and quick change of ISO,
Menus are easy to use,
Fast auto focus,
Standard AA batteries
Pontos Fracos: Clumsy low light focusing
Resumo: The E550 is my third digital camera (previous cameras were Nikon Coolpix 800 and Nikon 3100) and I think it is great. I looked at camera reviews for several weeks and was torn the convenience of a shirt pocket ultra compact and the image quality of the 8 megapixel digital SLRs. For me, the E550 is the right set of compromises. The image quality is excellent. I am using 2500 mA AA rechargables and the battery life seems quite good. It is subjective, but I have not seen the battery life problems others have mentioned. Things I really like:
Excellent quality pictures
Excellent quality movies
Very good dynamic range
Very fast startup and low shutter lag
Easy and quick change of ISO over a 10:1 range from 80 to 800
Menu for changing ISO and resolution nicely laid out
Easy to change between manual and automatic modes
Display information is clean and logical
All menus are easy to use
Fast auto focus
Use of standard AA batteries
Light weight (9.25 ounces with batteries)
I have found no serious problems. My very minor gripes are:
As noted by others, the manual focus is poorly thought out. It gives no indication of where it is focused, which is a pain in low-light. Fuji should update the firmware to simply display the focus distance. This would let the user achieve reasonable focus without the Electronic View Finder, which may not be bright enough to use for focusing at low light.
When reading camera reviews the low light focus issue worried me, but in the 2 weeks I have had the camera this has not been a problem. In practice, auto focus seems to work well even indoors at night as long as there is any light on in the room.
I wish the RAW mode on/off option were on the same menu as the resolution and ISO setting rather than the Setup Menu. It requires quite a few control ring clicks to reach the RAW mode on/off which means it is not quite as convenient as switching ISO and resolution. This is a very, very minor issue and quite subjective.
The use of xD cards is not much of an issue for me. They seem to be coming down in price and I picked up a 256 MB for $50 at Staples. This is not that much more than the cost of proprietary batteries that some competitors use.
Priced at $310 after rebates this camera is very reasonably priced for its capability.
Overall I love this camera
