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: Well priced, 6+mp, all features including raw image
Pontos Fracos: This camera uses 2 AA cells in a hurry
Resumo: As a professional digital camera lecturer, I must admit that the Fuji E-550 was a very pleasant surprise for me. Priced at about $340, this digital camera produced digital photos that were much sharper, more detailed, and more excellent than I, frankly expected.
I found the digital camera very easy to use right out of the box. While this digital camera does have a 12mp interpolated image size available, I found the 6mp native image size to have more contrast, detail and resolution.
As you might expect in a consumer digital camera, the digital camera's flash is not very powerful. At 200 ISO it will produce excellent exposures out to 13 feet. By adding a supplementary slave flash such as the Sony HVL-FSL1B and a bit of flash compensation, I was able to extend the effective flash range out to 25 feet, making the Fuji E-550 useful for indoor photos of large groups.
The Fuji E-550 does an equally amazing job with macro or close-up digital photos. It will focus quite close making it very effective for photos of small items and jewelery that might be photographed for sale on auction sites such as www.ebay.com.
The strongest suit for the Fuji E-550 is it ability to record a great deal of detail with extreme sharpness and clarity while being handheld. The Fuji E-550 is also very capable of taking excellent night photos when it is placed on a tripod.
All in all, I was extremely impressed with the Fuji E-550. I received a lot more digital camera than I expected for the samll price of $340. For those who like to use the raw image format, you will understand that you can essentially re-take the digital photo all over again right in your computer. This is a huge advantage.
Of course, being a Fuji digital camera, the Fuji E-550 uses the somewhat more expensive XD electronic data chips. However, the Fuji E-550 is very speedy. From power on to being ready to take the first digital photo takes 1.4 seconds. This digital camera is equally as fast in writing your digital photo to the XD chip.
The newer Fuji digital cameras are marketed to compete dollar for dollar with the Kodak line of digital cameras. Therefore, they tend to be very competitive with Kodak and offer in most cases, a lot more features.
There is available for the Fuji E-550 an adaptor as well as both a wide angle and a telephoto (1.9X) supplementary lens. The supplementary lenses are very fairly priced and readily available through Fuji's own website. This is a pleasant contrast to the accessories offered by Sony, through their own website, whose wide angle and telephoto supplementary lenses are unreasonably high in price.
Conclusion: The Fuji E-550 is a top quality digital camera. It more capable than most might expect. In addition, it is quite small and pocket sized, extending its appeal to many more digital camera users. It is worthy of your attention. The digital photos produced by this digital camera are amazing and compare most favorably with much more expensive consumer digital cameras. I would happily purchase this camera again.
I will be very confident in introducing the Fuji E-550 to the attendees of my workshops all over the world. It is a digital camera that I can point to with a lot of pride, simply because it gives the digital camera user many features and excellent digital photos for a very resonable price.

Pontos Fortes: Great for point and shoot, Many advanced settings, Small, Works on 2 AA batteries.
Pontos Fracos: No twistable LCD, No Auto pop-up flash.
Resumo: 2004-12-22 08:56:29 I got this camera 3 days ago and I highly recommend it. Great for point and shoot in the 6 scene settings and has an option for manual settings for the experienced photographers. It is small enough to fit in your cargos but not in a jeans pocket. The power button is slightly concealed so it is difficult for small kids to turn it on and off. Great grip if you are a right hander. 6MP is a plus, in case you want to blow up some of the vacation photos. I had to buy a 256MB memory card as the 16MB card included in the package is too small. I was able to get about 60 photos(using flash for all and the LCD) from a single charge. Most menu choices are intuitive.
There are few negatives. It has no twistable LCD. Check the Cannon A95 if this feature is important for you. Flash pop-up is not automatic, you have to press a button to manually open it each time. Considering most family photos are indoors this is an inconvenience. Fuji should have integrated the flash in the body.

Pontos Fortes: Sharp photos, great feel, large screen.
Pontos Fracos: Small memory card for 6 megapixel, XD memory is a little expensive.
Resumo: I am very happy I chose this camera. Plenty of camera for the money. Pictures are sharp. Exposure is good. Very comfortable feel. While it comes with a small memory card, what digital camera doesn't. I am going to buy a 512mb card and solve that. XD memory is a bit more expensive than other media though. Those of you that like to shoot small video clips, keep in mind that the E550 records at 30fps while most others are at only 12-15 fps. Other reviews felt the menu was complicated but I disagree. I went out to shoot without even glancing in the manual and figured out fill flash, resolution, etc. Unless you have a lot of memory cards in another format, I just couldn't see anyone not buying this camera if this is their price range.

Pontos Fortes: 6.3 mp 4X zoom fast start up and recycle time.
Pontos Fracos: XD picture card (more costly than others) only comes with a 16mb card. You'll need something much bigger unless you carry your laptop to download them constantly.
Resumo: Great value for the price. 4X optical zoom is great. Ability to record 12mp RAW images is a plus (you need a big memory card for these) Well built and small size make it a great enthusiast camera. The start up and recycle time are really quick. I did extensive research and dollar for dollar you cant beat the Fuji E550...

Pontos Fortes: Ease of use, picture quality, use of AA batteries, rechargeable or Alkaline, shutter speed, flash, select mp for individual pictures, great macro feature! Individual image protect.
Pontos Fracos: Still a bit bulkier than I originally wanted to purchase, but given the quality and features - minor issue.
Resumo: I was looking for a camera that offers good battery life, decent shutter speed, and definitely light-weight, small. Every camera I originally considered was dwarfed by the E550 when I saw the picture quality side by side in a store. Well worth the extra money. I have taken pictures indoors and out, people, flowers, an exploded rock, landscape, with and without macro. I am thrilled with the quality. It took quite some time to get the software loaded, but it is easy to navigate. Couldn't be happier about my purchase!!!

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

Pontos Fortes: The picture quality is awesome and the flexibility of using it is impressive.
Pontos Fracos: No weaknesses have been found at this time.
Resumo: This is the finest digital camera I have owned. The manual provides very clear instructions for the myriad of functions that are possible. Like most digital cameras, a moderate supply of quality batteries is recommended as well as a significantly larger XD memory card. I am very comfortable with a 256MP unit.

Pontos Fortes: Sharp pictures.. lots of features! Movies film great too and longer than I expected. Software has lots of options for your pictures. Quickly takes photos. Love that you can expel the batteries.
Pontos Fracos: A little complicated to figure out all the options. Comes with FAR TOO small of a memory card but found a CHEAP one at online. I can store a ton of photos now!
Resumo: 2004-10-01 16:23:59 I seriously love this camera.. I would buy it again any day. It may take me a bit of time to get all the functions figured out.. but hey it works for me the way it is now! I build website, breed Shihtzus and have a website that I constantly update and put new photos on. This Camera exceeded my expectations in picture quality and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Pontos Fortes: Very fast startup, uses regular AA batteries, fairly small,option to add lenses, ability to take in RAW mode, great value for price, large 2 inch LCD screen
Pontos Fracos: Untethered cover for USB port, uses expensive xD Card, accessories are expensive, no cradle included, 16MB xD card is a joke, flash recharge time slightly slow, cannot zoom while in video mode.
Resumo: I tried a Samsung Digimax 530, Olympus C60 and this one. I was looking for a compact digital camera which will be easy to carry instead of an SLR, take fast pictures of my 2year old, easily upload to my HTPC to see on TV and for my wife to make prints comparable to our Olympus point and shoot camera.
Compared to the other two, Fuji starts superfast, especially when in wide angle mode, like under 2s. The camera has options to adjust ISO all the way to 800 ( though only 3MP a that level) and the pictures even then are relatively low noise. At regular indoor lighting, the flash recharges in about 4 seconds ( a little slow), the pictures though are well lit and not washed out. In daylight the pictures are just gorgeous. If you use the interpolated 12MP level , the pictures are very sharp, well saturated colors and very life like. This camera uses 12MP shots and compresses them to 6MP and so using 12 MP is definitely better than 6MP eventhough it is interpolated, however in a 64MB card you get only 19 shots at this level. I did not see any big imporvement in quality with RAW mode. With all shots, there is very little need for picture enhancement and infact in PS Elements, autofix does not change anything at all, they are that good. The exposure, aperture can be adjusted manually also, only draw back is you canot set up exposure more than 2 seconds, so for long time bulb shots like in SLR, it is not possible. The flash does synchro for prolonged exposure. There is some shake at low lights and so indoor natural candid shots of my child, without a flash is not possible.
The video is surprisingly clean, though it records only at 320x240, but does 30fps and only limited by card capacity, unlike canon cameras. I printed plenty of pictures and at 6 MP level is where 4x6 prints are comparable to regular film prints, even though manufacturers say 3MP is enough the colors are only rich enough at this level. My XP regonises it immediatly without any drivers and I did not try the Finepix software as I use Photoshop Elements already.
I finally decided to go with Fuji because it much cheaper the the more expensive canon or nikon for comparable freatures especially with the $50 rebate till January and the picture quality is on par with some 7-8MP ( I tried the canon and Nikon ones ) level with half the cost. I am a happy camper now.

Pontos Fortes: Dollar for dollar, this camera offers more than Fuji's competitors. It offers many shooting modes (including manual controls). It uses AA batteries. It is compact.
Pontos Fracos: It uses the more expensive XD card, and only comes with 16 megabyte card. That size isn't good for much, except you can lose it, as I did, so that you'll be more careful with the extra one you buy.
Resumo: The camera is small (although not as small as some). It is the first digital camera for me, so it has taken some getting used to the smaller controls. Several professional reviews on the internet say that it is capable of taking very good photos. For beginners, it can be used in its auto mode as a simple point and shoot camera. For more advanced users or people who wish to learn more about photography, it offers many different options (e.g., aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, program modes). It also allows the user to adjust the sharpness setting, as well as white balance, and ISO setting. To really learn about all the features and options the camera offers, one will have to spend a lot of time with the manual, which describes the cameras features in good detail.
For those new to digital photography, you will learn (like me) that the viewfinder in digital cameras provides little or no information and that you will need to use the LCD panel. Unfortunately, in dim light, the LCD is not of much use. I suppose this holds true for most compact digital cameras and not just the E550.
All in all, at least for right now, the E550 appears to be one of the best values in a compact digital camera.

Pontos Fortes: Ergonomic, fast, large zoom range, good image quality, a lot of useful features.
Pontos Fracos: Mode wheel too small and too soft, monitor lacks contrast, flash shots sometimes difficult (no assist light).
Resumo: I bought this camera four weeks ago as an exchange for my three weeks old Canon A95. The Canon is a nice camera but it turned out that it was too heavy and too slow, and it lacks a battery status indicator. The Fuji E550 is more than 30% lighter, is much faster and has a lot of useful functions, similar to the Canon. It features picture quality modes up to 12 MP and ISO settings up to 800! Power consumption is good for 150-200 shots and an indicator warns of low batteries on time. Bottom line: A good and handy camera with a lot of useful features.

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.

Pontos Fortes: Quality, compact, neat, fast, cost, software package and easy to used.
Pontos Fracos: None this moment.
Resumo: I came very close to purchase a sony, nikon or canon. Thanks to the internet I was able to research different cameras and prices but I just couldn't pass this camera up because of all the features you get for the price of this camera. I must aggree with speaklightly about his discription it was right on the mark.

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.
