Overview

fuji finepix s5500angle The latest from the Fuji S range has proved to be a winner with all who have encountered it. Thanks to a smart design and easy-to-use controls, the FinePix S5500 Zoom is ideal for enthusiasts who want a minimum of fuss but a maximum of quality. The S5500 Zoom features a four million effective pixel CCD and a massive 10x optical zoom lens. The lens gives a 35mm equivalent range of 37-370mm. This makes it a fairly serious camera which should satisfy even professional photographers but at a very competitive price.

fuji finepix s5500 front

"Rugged, comfortable design. Big bright lens, fast focusing with assist light, low image noise, fast shot to shot and burst modes, surprisingly effective flash. Good white balance and metering, full manual control over everything!"

"Im not disappointed! This is an excellent camera in almost every way. The quality of the images, and colour it captures are outstanding. You can switch between automatic or manual settings, for a great deal of flexibility."

"Easy to use, straight out of the box. Feels just like a normal SLR in your hand, only lighter (which can save on cameras shake!) And with the ability to add wide Or tele-photo lenss & filters, puts other cameras [in this range], to shame!
