Takes Excellent Pictures but BREAKS!2007-11-17
I have now had this camera for 2 years. The quality of the photos is usually excellent, and you can set the ISO to 800 and take pics without the flash in dark places. Or so I thought until the other night when several vital pictures I really needed for a blog came out with lines across them. I went to Steve's Forums and sure enough, this is a common problem with the processor on this camera, even though apparently Fuji will deny this 'till its dying day. I've also started having some problems with the telescoping lens and fussiness with the on/off switch.

You'll be really happy for a while with this camera, but then it will break.

I expect any camera to last for more than 2 years. I will certainly NOT make my next camera a Fuji.

Bought a "recertified" E550 - Stopped Working Within Hours2006-11-07
I was very excited when I received this camera. I liked it very much, and thought I was getting a lot of camera for the money. Sure enough, the pictures looked great, very true color, nice to handle, Black & White setting. It was a little heavy and uses those XD cards, but overall I really liked it. Then, within about three hours of owning it - after less then ten pictures - something had gone awry. The zoom lens was stuck, it wouldn't move and the "zoom error" message kept appearing. Then, the camera would shut off. That's when I referenced the manual and found out that it wasn't a fixable error. It had to be fixed by the manufacturer. I have since learned that there may be a fix for it, and quite frankly I wouldn't want to deal with the "zoom error" happening all the time anyway. I guess I know why I couldn't find a new one on-line, and why there were so many refurbished. I still really like Fuji cameras, but I wouldn't trust this model, especially a "recertified" one. I have since learned that I am not the only person who has found this out the hard way. Lucky, I was able to return mine for a refund.
