Announced in January 2007, the Canon PowerShot A550 is a compact 7.1 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens, 2.0" (86,000 pixel) LCD screen and an optical viewfinder. The camera has the ability to take photos up to ISO 800...
Good Sharp screen shows the resulting photos with clarity. Good price Quick and responsive. Useful options in manual mode. Excellent quality images from ISO 80 to 200. Good battery life and theyre AA size. Optical Viewfinder.

Bottom line The Canon Powershot A550 7.1 megapixel digital camera with a 4x optical zoom lens and a 2" display is not especially exciting, but it does its job well in a very wide range of situations. The camera has a good range (ISO 80-800) of ISO settings. It ha...

Bottom line 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...

The PowerShot A550 ($199) is one of the entry-level cameras Canons A-series. Replacing the PowerShot A530 from last year, the A550 adds a larger LCD (2.0" vs 1.8") and, naturally, more Megapixels. Other features on the camera include a 4X optica...

The PowerShot A550, Canons new compact point-and-shoot camera, is a solid machine. It performs nimbly and produces pleasing picture quality. Still, there are a few areas where this shooter stumbles. The LCD is a little small and the price is a littl...
Good Produces sharp, clear shots. Great performance. Very little shutter lag. Has a glass viewfinder.
Bad Recycle times were a little slow. Smallish LCD.

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...

Bottom line As weve come to expect from Canons A-series, the PowerShot A550 is a great little digicam. Fairly frill-free, the Canon A550 still takes great shots with its 7-megapixel sensor. It has a satisfying 4x zoom, and is quite easy to use. The A550s no-non...
