Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot A550 7.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Customer 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.
Customer Review: Great Camera!

I originally had a different version of this Canon camera with only 6mp and my darling daughter accidentally threw it away! By the time I realized it, it was already at the dump and had been rained on for days. Sigh. I loved that camera. I looked for the exact one on Amazon, but couldn't find it. I found this camera and it was HALF THE PRICE of my first one and had more megapixels - looks almost exactly the same. The first one I bought at Best Buy for $300! Sheesh! OK, so I ordered this one and got it within just a few days. It takes GREAT pictures and is as easy to use as my old one. I am a teacher, and I use it a lot. A teacher friend of mine saw how great and clear the pics are and bought one, too! You won't be sorry if you buy this one.Customer Review: Amazing Camera!

I bought this camera for a trip my husband and I took to Scotland and England in May. Since this was our first digital camera, I researched many different brands and decided on this one because of the price, the actual pictures other users had uploaded and the reviews. We were not disappointed at all! It was so easy to use - we just left it on auto and it chose all the perfect settings - we've also gotten so many compliments on the quality of the pictures! We used a 2gb memory card and chose lithium batteries. We took over 400 pictures and didn't fill up the card and didn't wear out the batteries which is excellent considering we were gone for 12 days!! I highly recommend this camera to anybody but especially first time digital camera users.Customer Review: Love this camera..

Am a very low-tech/amateur photographer who just welcomed the first grand daughter into the family. Set it on Auto and started shooting. The pics are sharp, colorful, and the camera so very easy to use and comfortable to handle. The battery life is much better than I thought [...] and they have lasted for a long time. It is very easy to transfer shots into the computer as well. We just had a 10 day visit and shot about 1200 pictures. Beautiful. And the video was clear and had excellent sound. Only caveat: get a memory card that will enable you to shoot and shoot..the one that is included will disappoint w/its small capacity. Love the instant gratification of the digital and we have never been disappointed in our purchases from Canon!Customer Review: Great bargain for your buck!

After using my Sony Cybershot for 5+ years, I decided it was time for a new digital camera. My Sony had cost around $275 when I bought it, and it was considered one of the better digital cameras at the time. I thought I would purchase a new Sony Cybershot to replace the old one, but after checking them out, as well as the other brands, I changed my mind. This Canon PowerShot had most of the bells and whistles that the Sony had, but at a much lower price! I read the reviews and made my choice...the first test of the camera was on our trip to Disneyland, and the camera was terrific! Easy to use, a powerful zoom, TONS of photos with the 2gb memory card I added--what more can I say? A great little camera for the price.
