Camera Overview — Fujifilm FinePix S5500 Zoom

The Fujifilm FinePix S5500 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 4MP sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2272x1704 pixels. It covers an ISO range of 64 to 400, offering a modest sensitivity spread suited to well-lit shooting conditions. The camera features a 1.5-inch fixed LCD display with 115,000 dots of resolution, alongside an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) that shares the same 115,000-dot resolution, giving shooters two ways to frame a shot.

Video recording tops out at 480p at 30fps in 8-bit color, keeping things firmly in the basic tier for motion capture. Autofocus relies on a contrast detection system with a single focus point, and there is no subject tracking or eye tracking on offer. Image stabilization is absent entirely, with no in-body or digital IS system present.

The camera runs on four AA batteries, rated for approximately 250 shots under CIPA standard testing with NiMH cells, which is a practical choice for travel given the widespread availability of AA batteries. The body is constructed from plastic, weighs 337 grams, and measures 113 x 81 x 79 mm. There is no weather sealing.

Connectivity includes USB, though no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is available. A built-in pop-up flash is included, but there is no external flash support via hot shoe.
