Decent picture taking

not rich, pc-user, practical, Truthful, technically savvy

Pros

Easy to use, Easy to get the pictures off

Cons

Not great for long distances, Shutter is too slow

NOV

2007

The Canon A550 is a great camera for still shots but not so good at comedy shots where you try to catch the subject unaware. It does come with great software for removing red-eye and catagorizing your photo collection. The battery life is OK and the viewfinder is excellent.
