Product Description

Canon PowerShot SD550 Digital-Camera distnguishes itself as being among the most friendly cameras to use and own. With effective 7.1 megapixels , you can take still pictures at up to 3,072 x 2,304 resolution and movies at up to 640x480 with true-life motion at 30 frames per second, its imaging potential is outstanding. All images are stored on an SD memory-card that fits into the SD slot. Of course there's autofocus and 15 selectable auto shooting modes, easy image transfer to PC or Macintosh computers, and PictBridge for printing pix without using a computer. A built-in electronic-flash lets you shoot under varied light conditions with superior image results. Another astounding achievement is Canon managed to fit a large 2.5" bright, easy-view LCD screen at the rear of this small camera that measures only about 1 inch deep. There's also an optical viewfinder for those who aren't as yet accustomed to using the LCD screen. A great camera, indeed!

Canon Powershot SD550 7.1mp.......2007-05-31

I have one of my own for a year. Works excellent. I gave one to my daughter for her graduation this coming Friday Jun 1.

Mostly great...except for red eye........2007-04-25

Sometimes this camera is wonderful - the size is awesome, and I can fit the camera in my pocket no problem. And when you're taking pictures of the outdoors, it's great. The problems come when your taking pictures of people and indoors. The flash is SO powerful, often your subject will be nothing but a blur of white. But my main problem with this camera is the red-eye. With the red-eye reduction feature on, I would say about 75% of my indoor people pictures have red eye. I actually usually leave red eye reduction off, because it seems to be easier to remove the red eye after the fact that way.

My final gripe with this camera is it's lack of manual controls. Obviously many users really don't care about this, but if you even have an inkling of wanting to have manual controls, this is not the camera for you.

Overall, if you're looking to take a majority of your pictures indoors and of people, this is not the camera for you - save yourself a lot of work in Photoshop and get something else! For any other purpose, this is a high-quality little camera.

Excellent little camera.......2007-04-15

This is an excellent camera for daily use. It has lots of functionality, its easy to use, and it takes outstanding pictures. Never will you need more than 7.1 mega-pixels for anything you want to do with a little camera like this.

Canon Powershot SD550 7.1MP Review.......2007-03-13

For the most part it is a good product. Taking pics in darker places seems to be a minor challenge due t othe different features. Also, when zoomed, pictures taken are sometimes not as clear as you would like them to be.

a nice camera.......2007-03-09

This camera is great. It's got really clear images, and I like the macro feature so much. The LCD screen is very cool.. It's big and clear. The only con is that the size of the camera is a little big compare to some other brands like sony. But overall I like it a lot.
