Fuji Finepix E550

[cs02rm0]

I've been looking at cameras over the last few months, my budget's somewhat depleted since I started looking so although I'm still after a camera I'm not looking to spend very much. Can anyone offer me any comments on the positive/negative aspects of [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/electronics/B0002XNT76/system-requirements/ref=ed_tec_dp_2_1/202-6838653-3332623]this[/ame] one in relation to cameras within a similarish price range?

Particularly am I going to get enough control to play with taking the photos (only as a complete novice), is the flash memory type rubbish, etc...

Thanks
