Camera Reviews

speaklightly - (August 21, 2004) As a professional digital camera lecturer, I must admit that the Fuji E-550 was a very pleasant surprise for me. Priced at about $340, this digital camera produced digital photos that were much sharper, more detailed, and more excellent than I, frankly expected. I found the digital camera very easy to use right out of the box. While this digital camera does have a 12mp interpolated image size available, I found the 6mp native image size to have more contrast, detail and resolution. As you might expect in a consumer digital camera, the digital camera's flash is not very powerful. At 200 ISO it will produce excellent exposures out to 13 feet. By adding a supplementary slave flash such as

snufalufagus1 - (September 24, 2004) I spent a LOT of time investigating digital cameras online -one would think I was buying a car or something. Anyway I am a novice camera user and remain very impressed with this little guy. I would certainly recommend it. The movie mode is great for 'vignettes' or small movie snapshots. I also use the black and white a lot. I also didn't think the LCD would matter very much, but it does: I never use the viewfinder. I appreciate the large size of the LCD when passing the camera around to friends to view pictures and movies. Hint #1: Immediately jack up the megapixel resolution to 5 so that you can capture moments in the best resolution possible. Then, bypass Sony's ridiculous profit margin

joysmahal - (October 27, 2004) This camera is awesome. I upgraded from a Canon A70 and it was well worth the money. The Canon A95 uses 4 AA bateries, but it eats through normal alkalines way too fast. I highly recommend getting rechargeable NiMH AA batteries and a quick charger. The swivel screen is a major plus, it's 1.8" compared to 1.5" from the Canon A70. The screen is also higher resolution than the A70. I have used the camera for 3 weeks and printed about 50 pics so far. The pics look great and I even cropped to zoom in on some pictures and you couldn't see any sign of pixelation. I love the manual flexibility with this camera, plus the automatic modes make it easy for anyone to use. The camera

grant9621 - (11/19/2009) This has been a good choice and workes in sun, shade, interiors. Details pop out and it is so easy to move from one mode to another. Took on vacation with us and never used my SLR this camers has impressed all my frends and at work the results from it are stunning.

robfieser - (11/10/2009) I have had this camera for three weeks so I don't yet know all that this camera can do. However, I am impressed by two things: 1. Its up to 40fps burst mode, though at a slightly reduced 7 megapixels. I have seen the 2 and 3 and even 5 megapixel burst mode images of other superzooms, and this camera's images are much better. 2. The super slow motion video at 210 fps. I took this to my niece's soccer game last weekend and was very impressed by the video output of this camera. It was perfect for figuring out what went wrong or right and why. This camera will take a little time to get used to if you are used to Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, or Olympus super zooms. The options on the control dial are different and the menu options are also different. But this camera can do some things that those cameras can't do. If I were a coach or a trainer, I would buy one of these.

Insearchof - (11/08/2009) I have had this lens on my XTI for about 4 months. I am not sure about all the photo terminology, but I can tell you the following: If you are taking shots of people, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LOT OF LIGHT. Otherwise, the picture will not be sharp. Also, when using the zoom (let's say above 90 mm) do not try to crop too much the pictures later on because it will not be sharp at all. Furthermore, please take two to four shots of the important photos of your life to make sure you get one with decent quality. So far, I have been getting 2 good shots out of 5 (as an average). I would not buy this lens again, and after seeing the results of other friends, I would much rather have the combination canon 18-55 is & 50-250 is (both together cost about the same than the Sigma) . Even though you do have to change lenses, the picture quality is just far superior... At the same time, you will see that 50 -250 is you can take amazing portrait shots...
