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...
Quick shutter, Impressive display resolution, Simultaneous RAW and JPEG capture, Intuitive physical and digital UI
Battery life, Some might be scared off by its size – a little too big for the average pocket, Digital noise above ISO 1,600, Price – paying more over $300 for a point-and-shoot can be a hard sell
There’s no denying the Fujifilm FinePix F550 EXR is a remarkable device and packs a punch in its small package. ...
Low image noise in EXRSN mode, Superb dynamicrange in EXRDR mode, Virtually distortion free, No noticeable vignetting, Excellent resistance to chromatic aberrations, Excellent automatic whitebalance, Good color accuracy, Reliable exposure, Superb stabiliz
Above average image noise at 16 MP, Strong blurring starting at ISO 1600 at 16 MP, Strong corner softness near wideangle, Complex interaction of features, strange limits, Userinterface rather twisted, LCD does not keep up during continuous drive, No physi
The EXR technology lets the F550 EXR capture images in one of three mode:While some may be disappointed that the increase to 16 megapixels has increased image, which is not so destructive until ISO 800, the Fuji Finepix F550 EXR remains a really good came...
The fujifilm FinePix F550EXR is a well-constructed, feature-packed and fun camera to use. The ability to shoot raw is a plus, but the cameras image quality is on a par with the best in its class rather than being a leader...
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. ...
Long, 15x optical zoom; built-in GPS; 1080p video recording; raw support
Annoying pop-up flash; fiddly buttons; some issues with picture noise at higher sensitivity settings
A list of features as long as your arm and an equally lengthy optical zoom all work in the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR's favour. But this superzoom has a number of flaws that prevent it from achieving greatness....
Abstract: The manual mode lets you tweak the shooting settings to your own preferences. Of course there's an auto mode which uses the F550's robotic brain to work them all out, but experienced shutter nutters who feel they can do better will appreciate having the o...
Big zoom from small body, RAW shooting, EXR mode on main dial, GPS
No single-point AF adjustment, image quality may be a letdown at full resolution
The Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR crams a lot into a small body: if you’re after a wide-angle, 15x optical zoom lens that can fit in your pocket then the Fuji won’t let you down. Image quality could be improved, but the EXR mode goes some way to the rescue....
