The S5500 is attractive proposition for the ‘snapper’ wanting that bit more from their photography.
Fuji has today announced the FinePix S5500 Zoom, which maintains the SLR styling of its predecessor the S5000 Zoom and 10x optical zoom (37-370mm equiv.). It houses a conventional CCD sensor (compared to the S5000 which had a Super CCD HR sensor) but adds an extra million pixels, taking the effective resolution up to 4 megapixels. Other features include RAW mode, ISO 64-400 and a 640x480-pixel movie mode.
If you’re after competitively priced digital camera with a big optical zoom and a decent feature set, then check out this FinePix model.
