The Fuji FinePix F550EXR is a new 16 megapixel EXR sensor, which is the first time a CMOS design, but as a Super CCD project. Fuji for the description of press materials, it is suggested to use a back-lit design, wiring moved the sensitive side of the chip, increasing the light intensity for each area photodiode. The appearance Fuji EXR sensor feature a new color filter array, with a binning of effective pixels (to improve sensitivity to reduced resolution), and the ability to read half of the pixels during exposure (to increase dynamic range). It is unclear whether the new EXR-CMOS chip, the same 45-degree octagonal pixel Super CCD EXR construction of ships seen, slightly higher resolution allows the horizontal and vertical hold. The camera automatically selects the best mode of operation - the promotion of better resolution, dynamic range, or the signal / noise ratio - via its EXR Auto mode.

The Fuji F550 couples its sensor with a Fujinon 15x optical zoom brand with effective focal lengths from wide angle to f/4.4 at telephoto af/66.0, which is the same size as a 35mm camera with a 24mm - 360 mm lens at an angle range of generously powerful telephoto lens. Although it's not like the barrel of the brand, which includes a clear objective Fuji Super EBC coating to reduce ghosting and flare. Maximum aperture varies from f/3.5 af/5.3 the zoom range. In order to achieve given the high range telephoto lens, mechanical image stabilization is obviously a need to combat camera shake of the camera, and the Fuji FinePix F550 includes a displacement sensor stabilization. The images and films must be framed and is checked on a 3.0-inch LCD screen with resolution of 460 000 points, because there is no optical viewfinder or manual on this model. The LCD panel shows 160-degree viewing angle, but it is unclear whether this is in the horizontal or vertical axis or both axes.

EXR sensor output CMOS is processed by a newly developed image processor Fujifilm EXR-brand, and the combination allows you to quickly record at 11 frames per second for an unlimited burst depth. The phrasing of the print media makes a little "hard to know if this is done with the full or reduced resolution. The Fujifilm F550EXR can also capture 1080p HD video at a frame rate is not specified with H.264 A. MOV container, while still images in JPEG or RAW can be recorded. There is also a mode of 320 frames per second movie shooting of a resolution indefinitely.

Panorama mode uses the camera moving on a rapid recovery from a series of sequential shots at a seam 180, 240 or 360 degree panorama, horizontally or vertically to capture. Other features include a multi-frame "Pro Focus mode", the depth of field by combining multiple images of a static object, different focal points with attempts to simulate the firing, "Pro Low Light", the average noise in four consecutive images of a static object, the ability to recognize and draw the faces of eight people in particular, and automatic red-eye. Connectivity Fujifilm F550 incorporates a high-definition video output mini-HDMI.

A final feature of the Fuji F550 is the integrated GPS receiver, which can optionally be turned off to conserve battery power. When activated, the tags F550 exif header images as they shot, given the geographic location of each image. The camera can only show the location in longitude and latitude, but also a place to call. It comprises a 500,000 points of interest database, and the distance and direction can be rotated places and places of interest. Finally, if left on the F550EXR has a history of your movements, which can then be downloaded to a computer so you can put your photos on the track to capture their views.

The Fuji FinePix F550 ships from mid March 2011 About U.S. $ 350 in September
