Ok, I'm still very new at digital photography, but already finding limitations with my current camera, Fuji E550.
Even though it has loads of manual features, I'm finding there’s already things it can't do that I'd like to be able to...
First off, manual focus. Ok is has the option but it's literally impossible to see anything on that little LCD screen. It's fine for focusing on subjects that fill the viewfinder. but when i want to focus on something about 1m away, it's almost guess work.
Secondly, exposure limitations, 2 seconds is good for most things, but night shots, and flowing waters are a no go really.
Focus range, it does appear a little limited, but that might be due to inexperience...?
Do these points make sense?
I'm still learning, but as I'm planning a "round the world" trip this summer, i want to get good at photographing techniques and get plenty of practice in before i go..

and have noticed that a lot of you get good night shots from using very large appartures (12+ etc) and long exposure times. I notice though that the lense that comes with it has a range of F3.5~F5.6 which seams rather small? or am I completely getting the wrong end of the stick?
