Got mine at Parisilk HV at $459 with 8 GB SD card. My bad - I did not ask beforehand what is the capacity of the SD card! In the end, had to pay extra to top it up to 16 GB. Also, they tried to charge me $469 initially.
For those planning to getting one from there, remember to bargain and confirm everything in advance!
p.s. They tried to sell me the 3rd party battery but I refused. And they kept asking again and again - but I refused again and again!

There are three options.
1) GPS constant On.
2) GPS On when camera is On.
3) OFF
GPS Tracklog.
1) Tracklog On
2) Tracklog OFF.
I've switched On the GPS On when camera is On and tracklog Off.
Some photo sample.

I would suggest for those thinking to get the F550EXR to wait first for Fujifilm to resolve the battery drain issues.
DPreview members also having battery drain issues.

The firmware update Ver.1.10 incorporates the following issues.

I do not have the battery drain problem. But while using the camera in Bali over the weekend the lens protective shutter was stuck and could not close properly! Tried on/off power many times and no effect. When switched on, the shutter could not open fully resulting in partially blocked pictures.
Had to manually push up the shutter with a paper tissue (to avoid fingerprint on lens). Fortunately, 3 hours of shooting later (and multiple times manipulating the shutter), the shutter managed to close fully, and has remained fully functional for the last 24 hours.
Hope it stays this way!
