dropped Fujifilm S5500

headlightz · 14th April 2005

Just dropped my new camera from the table last night
will this effect the lens or any internal parts?

rebbot · 14th April 2005

ouch that should hurt

you should try taking some photos in all modes and see if there are any problems...if still worried bring it down to fuji service centre for a checkup at a cost...hope all is fine mate

S5500 is not that heavy so higher chance nothing bent or broken inside. Good luck! Circuits are a hardy bunch and normally tested for impact. So your only concern is the plastics and glasses.

thanks guys
did try taking photos with all the modes, seems alright but being a newbie decided to take it down to Fujifilm for a check up later. kinda worried about the internal organs

Hi,

If it looks ok on the outside ... no visable knock:-

Try a number of shots in different modes in different angles (including upside down etc).
If you cant fault your results .... yeah no problem

If a bit later on it shows a problem, take it in for repair.

If it ain't broke don't fix it (especially don't pay to have "nothing" done).

cheers

phew!!
only the LCD display was knocked out of place.

Pablo · 4th May 2005

Hi headlightz,

That is good news

I am suprised no one has commented, "Shoot, Shoot,Shoot".

So therefore may I add ....SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT

Cheers

I am getting a camera and also considering the S5500..how do you find the overall perfcormance ..like noise , image quality ..AF etc...

Dont know if I should get this or the canon S2 IS...anyone care to advise ...

alankuik · 12th June 2005

of coz, i would say if you have the dough, get one with image stabilization.

I'm happy with my S5500 though as it fits my budget. Just got it on Friday @ 480.
However, the captured avi file even at 320 seems huge in file size.
Full 256mb can only record 7m @ low res video.

Any advise anyone?
p.s. sorry to hijack this thread. but it's a discussion on S5500 anyway.

Hi all,

I am a Canon DSLR user but have been very keen in Fuji S5500. Firstly I have been looking for a SLR like looking camera with medium pricing and this just fit into that my critera.

S5500 users any commemts? The S5500 have spot metering to choose from is it?

I am currently looking for a second hand S5500. Any user wanna can sell PM me.

Advises are welcome. Thanks.

I am also interested in a new S5500. How is it so far? Was the quality of the video captures good with sound?

And mind telling me where you bought it?
