Most HelpfulI had this camera for several years and loved it! I dropped it quite a few times and it held up very well. Eventually I used it at summer camp and ran over it with a golf cart. However, I liked it so much that I bought another Canon.
The pictures that the camera produced were excellent. I really...
Most HelpfulWhen I decided to replace my outdated digital camera, I researched like crazy. Trying to get good quality without spending both arms and legs. I finally went with the Canon PowerShot A550.
At first I loved it. Good quality pictures, easy enought to use. But I think what I liked about it was...

The Canon PowerShot SD550 digital camera has been working out wonderfully for my family and I. This compact camera has an elegant and stylish design, while still maintaining it's funtionality and ease of use. It is small enough to fit into your pocket, which makes this a great camera to use if you're traveling or at a social fuction. It even provides you with a wrist attachement for easy access. Though prone to scratches, you probably don't have to worry about it breaking on you. This is a solid camera without being overly heavy. The zoom is easily accessible. There is also an auto flash...
read full review »Incredible digital camera. Small compact and is able to take beautiful pcitures. It can detect faces and prints beautiful pcitures. Yet small enough to put in your purse or pocket. I would recommend aeveryone getting it becuause it is under 200 dollars and does an amazing job. I use it all the time when I go hiking on the beach and out with friends. It takes great pictures at night and day. It even does well on moving objects when I take pcitures of moving objects. It doesn't take with the case so you will have to buy the case and a little extra memory, however it does come with...

The Canon Power Shot A550 is one of the best available digital cameras on the market. What makes this one of the best is it's size, it's ease of use, and the great shots it takes! I just keep it in my purse on weekend getaways and I forget it's there. It's very light and compact and is ready to use at a moment's notice.
I received the camera as a fabulous wedding shower gift and I put it to use immediately! I got great photos of my shower, my "bachelorette" party, my wedding and my honeymoon in Europe. Now after two years, I'm still using it for all my vacations, my special occasions, and any...
read full review »It's ok camera. I had to replace my Nikon. This canon has sound with videos-Great. But I prefer my old Nikon.
If you're clumsy, this camera doesn't take a drop as good as a Nikon. Trying to find a better inexpensive camera that takes better indoor photos.
The colors are off for indoor lighting without the flash. For indoors, I can't seem to find the right combination. Maybe it's the lighting of the room. I have to switch back flourescent lighting because with tungsten, it's not soo great.
For outdoors the colors come out vivid rather than true to color like the Nikon...
read full review »I was in New Mexico over the summer and had taken my husband camera on the trip which worked fine, until I dropped it and had to replace it right away. I went to a local office supply store and they had one Canon Powershot camera left. After careful study about this one with the salesman, I bought it. I loaded the memory card from the old camera right into the new one and was off taking pictures. The zoom is great, but can be somewhat fuzzy pictures. It's not a Nikon and you will not get Nikon quality pictures, but for the price, it is a good choice. Particularly if you are like me and do not care...
read full review »My Canon Powershot A550 is one of the better digital cameras on the market, This is the second Powershot I've had and like it better than other brands I've used. One of the nicest things about using the Canon this model you use rechargeable batteries anywhere, you aren't limited to the battery packs like the first Powershot G-2 that were very expensive.
Presently I'm photographing the construction on the bridge on RT.441 over Swatara Creek in Middletown. The job Superintenate said he never had an album from start to finish. So I told him I don't mind doing it if he likes the shots and he said...

I received this Canon camera as a christmas gift last year and I love it!!! I have a 2 year old and it takes great pictures of her running, jumping, and every other time she won't sit still. I have never had a problem or taken a bad picture with it. The photo quality is just absolutley amazing! The only bad part is that it won't even turn on with cheap batteries, it likes energizer the best. But they last a good while. The zoom is great and easy to use, I can zoom in 16 times and still have a good picture. I would reccommend it to everyone!
