DCResource Reviews Fuji FinePix E550
DCResource have today posted their usual extensive review of the 6 megapixel Fuji FinePix E550.
“As long as you stick with the 6 Megapixel resolution, the Fuji FinePix E550 is a good choice for those who want a very responsive camera with good photo quality and manual controls. The resolution issue is an important one, as the E550 uses the unique SuperCCD HR sensor. While it can produce images with 12 million pixels, you’ll get the best results by shooting at the 6M mode, or even better, by downsizing from the 12M/Fine mode. A RAW mode is available, but the quality wasn’t noticeably better than 12M/Fine (in fact, it may be worse) and the post-processing is time consuming (especially with the lousy RAW converter that’s included). At the 6M size, images are colorful and sharp, though purple fringing levels are above average. The E550 also has an excellent movie mode, with unlimited recording at 640 x 480, 30 frames/second.”
