Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom

Digital camera Review: Not a better point and shoot available
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this camera. It produces the most amazing pictures. No noise, sharp, stunning colors. I recently compared it to a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot, and the Panasonic came out the loser by a large margin. My only problem with the 550 is that it gives me the low battery indicator light on freshly charged batteries. This is very annoying. I've found that the higher mah batteries tend to do better. I've also recently invested in a high-end battery charger to make sure that the batteries I use in the Canon are fully charged (something I can't do with the cheapy chargers that typically come for free when you buy rechargeable batteries).

My favorite setting: Manual, ISO 200, No flash. If you hold the camera steady, you'll get amazing pictures indoors and outdoors.

Summary of Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom

Easy-to-use and easy-to-hold, the PowerShot A550 gives you 7.1 Megapixels, a 4x optical zoom lens, an ISO 800 feature for expanded low-light shooting and a DIGIC II Image Processor with iSAPS technology for beautiful pictures and great performance. Plus, there's even a Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode. Power is never a problem, because the A550 uses standard "AA" batteries. Great features at a great price - it's what makes the A550 such an amazing camera.
