FinePix F550EXR Review

Monday, February 27th, 2012



Priced at $252.99 (price may depend on where you would be buying the camera), the FinePix F550EXR is a bargain because it is loaded with a range of features deemed important for those looking for a compact digital camera. The FinePix F550EXR has GPS Geotagging capability and also has Pet Detection making it easier for you to take photos.

The only problem with the FinePix F550EXR is that its flash is a bit weak and doesn’t work really well in different lighting conditions. If you are fine with this then paying for the FinePix F550EXR at over $200 is still a bargain.

What’s our verdict? Well the photos taken by this camera are pristine making the FinePix F550EXR a favorite among compact digital camera enthusiasts. In terms of resolution, the FinePix F550EXR does better than the Lumix TS3. For $252.99, this camera ain’t that bad. Its optical zoom is over 3 times better than the Lumix TS3 or the FinePixZ900EXR. It has a very low shutter speed though compared to other compact digital cameras but if you take a look at its battery life, it lasts more than other digicams in the market today.

At 16 MP, the FinePix F550EXR offers one of the highest resolutions in the digicam market because cameras under this category are often praised for being able to offer 12 MP photos. This means that the FinePix F550EXR takes highly detailed pictures of professional quality. If that is not wonderful enough, it is also equipped with 15x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. It also has a wide angle lens allowing one to shoot from a number of angles and distances. If that doesn’t sound professional enough for a compact digital camera, we do not know what would.

Besides this, the camera also offers several settings to make your photo taking experience a more fulfilling one.

Going Thin

Friday, September 24th, 2010

If thin is in with models, thin is in with compact digital cameras too. It seems that the market requires thinner things including electronics and the compact camera have nowhere else to go but go thin. Why go thin? Thin digital cameras look quite stylish and they are quite easy to carry as well since you can just slip them inside your small purse and it will not even feel like you are actually carrying a camera with you!

What should you look for in a thin camera? If you have finally decided to buy a nice looking camera your camera should be able to look real stylish and function well at the same time. Design is one thing but the image quality of a camera is as important because what are you going to do with a camera that looks stylish but produce blurry photos? Battery life and memory are also important.
