We are a group of fujifilm f810/e550 digital camera owners who would like to submit an online petition to fujifilm for a firmware upgrade to address a few issues. This has originated on the "Fuji Talk" forum on dpreview.com (google fuji talk and it's the first link) and we plan to have it up and running within ~2 weeks. I am posting it here for two reasons; 1. Discussion; if you're a fujifilm f810/e550 owner, then we'd like to hear your comments and wishes. 2. Participation; you'll need to join us to make your comments and wishes effective. Here it is "Dear Fujifilm, We have purchased F810 and E550 digital cameras. While mostly satisfied and generally recommend these models to others, we have a few issues we'd like to see corrected, and imagine that most can be addressed through a firmware update. These issues are mentioned in the various online reviews of the F810 and E550. If fixed, potential customers would have less drawbacks to consider in deciding whether to purchase one of these cameras. Also, current users would appreciate the added functionality and would be more likely to remain loyal to the Fujifilm brand. Firmware updates are, to our understanding, a common practice in the industry. 1. It is difficult to use the LCD in low light situations. We would like to have the LCD gain up in low light situations like other cameras do. 2. We would like to have menu options for adjusting contrast, saturation, and compression in JPEG images. With regard to compression in JPEG images, we would like to at least see the addition of a 6mp Fine mode, or better even, we would prefer to have two separate menus, one for choosing reslution (12mp, 6mp, and so on), and the other for choosing JPEG compression (Fine, Normal, and so on 3. Since we often switch between RAW and JPEG mode it would be useful to have the RAW option moved to the 'F' menu. 4. Shutter speed longer than 3 seconds to make the camera more capable of shooting in low light situations. Thank you for addressiing our requests and creating exceptional products. Signed: "
