Customer Review: Canon Powershot 550 digital camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never used a digital camera before acquiring this Canon Powershot A 550 from Amazon at a very good price.
I wanted to take it with me on a 2 week trip. It arrived promptly and I quickly began taking pictures, downloaded several to my IMac computer, and made some prints by direct hook-up to my Canon multi-function printer/copier/scanner. Everything worked well. I took it on our trip and took over 120 photos. I will be shortly be editing this collection and saving a few to the computer, then deleting the digital card (1GB) clean, for reuse on other photo opportunities. This experience has been an eye-opener. I still have a hugh amount to learn about the wonderful capabilities of this Canon system.
Customer Review: I'm enjoying it.

I haven't tried all of the features yet but the pictures are clear and have great detail. I've had one problem in taking a shot at night with flash around a highly reflective sign which pretty much blacked out the subjects. I have been particularly impressed with the digital zoom. Pictures I've taken in the past when I've exceeded the optical zoom have been a little fuzzy. This camera has given me some pretty clear shots at the maximum digital and optical zooms. With a 2 GB SD card, I get over 1,000 pictures. It's great having the LCD display and the optical viewer. I can select the area that needs to be the center of focus and the pictures come out sharp.Customer Review: Excellent Camera for the price

This is my first digital camera. I did a lot of research on Amazon reading reveiws. I ended up purchasing the Canon A 550 and am very happy with it so far. I've had the camera about two months and very pleased with the quality of the pictures, and the ease of use. I am still working on some of the fine tuning adjustments. But the pictures still look great. I don't really have any complaints about this camera. I did purchase a 1gb memory card along with the camera, which is plenty of memeory for what I use the camera for. Also I purchased Energizer rechargeable batteries. If you are taking a lot of photo's it does use up some battery power.Customer Review: Small package; BIG photos

I still shoot 35mm film with my Canon AE1, but I've been looking for a small digital I can carry in a pocket or small bag while traveling. I've always trusted Canon's quality, so after research, I chose this one. I just returned from Alaska, and found this little camera went places my film camera couldn't.. like trail riding outside of Skagway. The camera easily fit into my jacket pocket and I could still photograph from the back of a moving horse without dropping the reins to focus. I never really thought I'd find a digital camera that could perform as well as my trusty Canon AE1, but this definitely does at 1/4 the weight. Get one!Customer Review: Amazingly Surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this camera to have in addition to my Panasonic Z30. I wanted something I could carry in my purse and have handy at any time. Though I do take my big camera when shooting up in the hills and need that extra zoom, I am so happy with this little baby. In some ways I like it more than the Panasonic. It is fast, handy and takes beautiful pictures. It has movie mode that works good for a digital still camera and even has sound. All those times I wish I had something I could just grab and shoot, now I do. I highly recommend the Canon A550 and the price is the clincher. Great quality for little money. Can't find that much anymore.
