The 'NEW' Fujifilm Finepix F550 EXR - Review

Just in & Quick initial thoughts on the 'NEW' Fujifilm Finepix F550 EXR!!!

For those of you fans of Fuji's award winning range of 'F-series' digital compacts, the F550 EXR will not dissapoint. There are alot of initial similarities with the Fujifilm Finepix F300 EXR- for example,

• 15x Optical Zoom (24-360mm)
• 3" High Contrast LCD screen (460,000-dot LCD)
• Mode wheel & quick Movie recording button
• Body Casing & Size are identical (apart from the new GPS system on the top of the F550 EXR)

But they are very different, the F550 EXR looks are far more elegant with its black shell complimented with a subtle red ring around the lens & the EXR badge is also finished in red text. But it is infact the heart & brain of the new F550 EXR which seperates it from the F300 EXR- for example,

• 16MP EXR CMOS sensor
• EXR Processor
• 11 frames- High speed shooting
• GPS
• Improved Motion Panorama
• 320fps High Speed Movie
• Stereo Mic

pros:

• The F550 EXR CMOS sensor & EXR Processor really makes this camera quick and responsive & truely a great low-light performer.

cons:

• The in-built pop-up flash on the F550 EXR now has what seems to be a magnet which holds it down & feels delicate to pop back up.
