Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: A Fantastic addition for me
Summary: 5 Stars
Great shots, true photo feel, all sorts ah things really. No problems or flaws yet. The supplied batteries shot for several sessions during carnival and all. They are now done after about 2 months. I didn't even set the pic resolution n size for optimum battery life.
Great little camera. Am now gonna become more technical with it as I attempt more professional shots as I go about work.
Digital camera Review: A big Bang for your buck
Summary: 5 Stars
The best camera i ever purchased. Point and shoot, with a host of other advanced options. For the amount i Paid , Its just spendid. Would recommend this camera for first timers and others who dont want to get too technical about photography.Digital camera Review: A great buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this camera and was so sad when it was stolen. I wanted to buy it again and could not find it so bought the updated version. The new camera is nice but I really miss this one. It fit in my hand perfectly, took great pictures, great video and was so easy to use. If anything happens to my latest, I would really consider getting this one again.Digital camera Review: A great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
After having had a friends hand me down one pixel camera which no longer connected to any computer in the 21st century, I purchased this camera. Right size for my hands(smaller is not necessarily better) and easy to use. The settings were simple to learn and actually more than I needed. You can switch from taking shots to review with one click of a button and back again to taking photos. Quick to use to capture those momentary fleeting kodak moments and even faster to download to my computer with attaching a cord and pressing a button.
The zoom takes you right there so I can capture snaps shots from a distance without the subject taking notice and assuming fake stances. I just love this camera and find nothing to be critical of. So if want a camera that is so simple to operate that you will actually use, this is the one.
Digital camera Review: A great point and shoot camera
Summary: 4 Stars
I have always owned Canon cameras. I own 4 cameras from the A series.
A520, A530, A540 and A550 and I am happy with all these cameras and here are the reasons why.
1. Value for Money, I bought all these under $200.
2. 4x Optical zoom is a plus and sufficient for a point and shoot camera.
3. Delivers fairly good quality pictures. I have printed poster size pictures and have been very happy with the results.
4. All these have better manual controls than most of the ELP series point and shoots canon has made.
Cons:
one thing to keep in mind is that these cameras are point and shoot and the lower end models that canon has made, so anyone buying these should not have high expectations with these cameras.
1. Delay between two shots when flash used. Again this is marginal and I really do not think of this as a major -ve point, at least not for the money spent on these.
2. The ELPHs have made them look bulkier :) again not a biggie. The ELPHs are really compact. So even though these are not as big, they look big in front of elphs.
I would not recommend A550 to anyone only because they are old models, not because they are not good. Instead I would recommend the latest A series models that Canon has come out with. A720 IS, A570IS, A590IS. These are all great cameras with Image Stabilization built into them.
