Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Can't beat it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked around and searched a lot of reviews. I ended up buying this camera as more of a back up camera, but I am extremely impressed and will probably just keep it as my only camera!
The camera is great on batteries (I use Duracell's top end rechargeable), takes great outdoor pictures, movie is better than expected, and the features are easy to use. Really impressed by the quick start up time and time between pictures.
This camera is great for someone looking for a great point and shoot (plus more). Amazing price for a great camera!
Digital camera Review: Cannon A550
Summary: 5 Stars
It works great. I love the picture quality and movie capabilities. I like how compact it is because I need my stuff to be as portable as possible. I also enjoy all the control I have with the different settings I can use to adapt with every location, situation, and individual picture (versatility is always a plus). It's a great value. I got everything I wanted from a digital camera without paying $200 or more. Overall I love it.Digital camera Review: Canon A550 7.1MP Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I probably would give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
The first camera I received had a battery cover that stuck so I returned it as I had a similar issue with an earlier model Canon.
The second camera that Amazon sent (great return process btw) works great except for a shutter cover that occassionally sticks. Stills are fantastic quality. I recently took a vacation to Hawaii and the detail from some of the shots is just amazing. Videos seem to have a somewhat blue-tint but I haven't tried to see if this is correctable with video editing software (I am not intending to use this as a video device).
Overall a fairly decent camera wrt optics, just a few issues with some of the packaging/casing as noted.
Digital camera Review: Canon A550-Great deal for the quality, if size doesn't matter.
Summary: 4 Stars
The A550 was purchased for my wife's primary usage. So far it seems to take excellent photos in various modes, and has been easy for her to use. Her one criteria for a digital camera was there to be a viewfinder so she could see what she was shooting if the sun overpowered the LCD screen. All expectations have been met. Even better, the price at Amazon.com was cheaper than even discount store sale prices around Southern California.Digital camera Review: Canon A550: easy to carry, handy to use.
Summary: 4 Stars
After years of 35 MM photography, I now normally use a Canon digital SLR camera for my photos. That's great for most things, but sometimes I just need a good snapshot camera for quick images. I haven't taken the time to master the various settings yet, but the A550 seems to do a good job for routine photos. I've had the opportunity to use a variety of digital cameras over the years since they were first introduced and find the A550 to be just the right combination of size and features for my needs.
