Easy-to-use and easy-to-hold, the PowerShot A550 gives you 7.1 Megapixels, a 4x optical zoom lens, an ISO 800 feature for expanded low-light shooting and a DIGIC II Image Processor with iSAPS technology for beautiful pictures and great performance. Plus, there's even a Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode. Power is never a problem, because the A550 uses standard "AA" batteries. Great features at a great price - it's what makes the A550 such an amazing camera.

NIce Canon:
Nice camera. The only problem is that Canon won't back up their products. The zoom doesn't work all the time after less than a years use. Canon said send it back but we'll charge you to check it...not very impressive!
A great point and shoot camera:
I have always owned Canon cameras. I own 4 cameras from the A series.
A520, A530, A540 and A550 and I am happy with all these cameras and here are the reasons why. 1. Value for Money, I bought all these under $200.
2. 4x Optical zoom is a plus and sufficient for a point and shoot camera.
3. Delivers fairly good quality pictures. I have printed poster size pictures and have been very happy with the results.
4. All these have better manual controls than most of the ELP series... more info
GREAT CAMERA:
OWNED 1 BEFORE. COULDN'T FIND IT FOR MY VACATION. SO I WANTED 1 JUST LIKE IT AND FOUND IT ON AMAZON.COM .
IT'S A GREAT CAMERA, TAKES GREAT PICTURES. MY FAMILY WAS AMAZED AT THE CLARITY. AND HAVING AN HP PORTABLE PRINTER BOTH COMBINED WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN MAKING GOOD PIXS.
I HAVE RECOMMEND THIS A550 TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.
Loved it until it got dropped :(:
This is a great camera.... I love love love it. But dropped it only once...and that's all she wrote. Seriously.
