Canon - PowerShot A550 Digital Camera —

I have had this camera for several months and now I wonder why I never went to digital before. It is easy to focus and shoot. I love getting the pictures developed. You can lighten the picture and zoom in on it while developing which I could never do with the old 35 mm cameras. It is light and fits in my purse so I am always ready to shoot pictures. If this is your first digital camera it is a good one to start with. After you get used to it you might want to get a more elaborate one with more options and a better zoom.
