The Canon Powershot A550 Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: The new Canon Powershot A550 Digital Camera provides an almost perfect balance of cost to performance, flexibility, and ease of use.
Review: Canon's "A" series digicams are famous for their practicality, flexibility, class leading performance, impressive build-quality, and amazing ease of use – that's why they've been number one in U. S. sales for the past four years. "A" series digicams...

Canon PowerShot A550 7.1-Megapixel Digital Camera A Bargain At Under $180

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you need a compact, inexpensive, easy to use yet capable camera that produces excellent photos with print sizes of up 13x19 inches, has 4x...
Review: A 7.1-Megapixel Canon camera with 4x optical zoom that uses two AA batteries for less than $180? The Canon PowerShot A550 is exactly that and more: fast in operation (mostly) and is easy to use, it is a successor to the popular A530/A540.

Review: We have not had a lot of luck with Digital cameras in the past, they don't seem to last and the ones we had were not all that cheap. Still there is no denying the convenience and ease of photo taking that a digital camera can provide, plus it is a...

Good For Novice or Advanced Users

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is an excellent camera for the novice who will grow with the features offered. No need to upgrade to a more sophisticated camera after the learning period.
Review: I had the Canon PowerShot A75 digital camera and decided to upgrade to the Canon PowerShot A550. This is one of Canon's newest entries in the PowerShot series. As of this writing it is difficult to find since it has not shipped yet to most vendors...

PowerShot A550- well worth its price

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2008
Review: My family's old camera was failing on us, so I researched a bit and decided to try out the Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera. My overall experience with this camera was very pleasant. This is a basic camera without any frills, and is a good buy...

A reliable point-and-shoot at a reasonable price

Date of Review:  Dec 2, 2007
Review:
I chose this camera because it has 4x optical zoom and a reasonable price, and because it was the most user-friendly of those in store.

The camera feels good to handle and the back is easy to read and manipulate. Both are things you...
