Abstract: The Canon Powershot A550 is very similar to previous Canon A-series except for its lack of manual controls. Otherwise, it retains all the aspects that made other A-series cameras so popular: good image quality, ergonomics and speed of operation. When ...
Good handling
4x optical zoom lens
Excellent color reproduction
$199 price tag
Easy to use
Poor resolution on small LCD
Boring design
No optical zoom in movies
Noisy zoom lens
Barrel distortion
With a $199 price tag, amazing performance can’t be expected from the A550. It does, however, meet the basic requirements of an adequate digital camera. It can take a picture when you want, where you want, and how you want. It doesn’t have muc...

Abstract: Digital cameras get better every 6 months. In 2002 I paid $5,000 for a Nikon D1H, which had fewer than half the pixels of this $199 point-and-shoot. This $199 A550 takes much sharper pictures! The Canon A550 is photographys best buy as of February 20...
Abstract: The PowerShot A550 is a very affordable 7.1 megapixel model with a 4x optical zoom lens and a 2.0-inch LCD screen. It features Canon’s DIGIC II image processor for crisp, vibrant images, responsive performance, and low power consumption. Replacing l...
Great colour capture, Low price tag, 4x zoom, Fast operation, Sturdy design
Pictures perhaps not quite as sharp as they could have been The Final Word Another great compact camera from Canon, the PowerShot A550 wont compare to some more high-end units, but considering the price tag and the features on offer, its an excellent...
Another great compact camera from Canon, the PowerShot A550 wont compare to some more high-end units, but considering the price tag and the features on offer, its an excellent value-for-money product.
