 Excellent Value March 16, 2009
Murali Venkatraman (Melbourne, Australia)
I must say I am mightily impressed with it. there are extensive reviews on this camera in the net, hence my take on it is more personal.
This camera will :
1. take high quality pictures (2-3 mb each)
2. support a fat 8 GB SD card
3. priced under $150
4. shoot movies in mpg format with very good clarity
5. remain rugged even after dropping.
The pictures are more than a normal family needs to preserve as memories. They are clear and print worthy. The short movies you can make are absolutely great. Since they are recorded directly in mpg format, one does not have to belabor through encoding which is a norm in all non-disk based camcorders. This is a great feature especially when you do not want to roam around with another piece of video equipment hanging in your shoulder especially when you are going to shoot only small movies (say of 5 minutes duration max). You only need a big 8GB SD card.
I bought this camera followed by a Canon PowerShot A560 and Canon PowerShot A590IS. That is three in a row for my family. All are great cameras.

Nice camera. The only problem is that Canon won't back up their products. The zoom doesn't work all the time after less than a years use. Canon said send it back but we'll charge you to check it...not very impressive!
A great point and shoot camera July 4, 2008
Sanju Desai (Orange County, CA)
I have always owned Canon cameras. I own 4 cameras from the A series.
A520, A530, A540 and A550 and I am happy with all these cameras and here are the reasons why.
1. Value for Money, I bought all these under $200.
2. 4x Optical zoom is a plus and sufficient for a point and shoot camera.
3. Delivers fairly good quality pictures. I have printed poster size pictures and have been very happy with the results.
4. All these have better manual controls than most of the ELP series point and shoots canon has made.
Cons:
one thing to keep in mind is that these cameras are point and shoot and the lower end models that canon has made, so anyone buying these should not have high expectations with these cameras.
1. Delay between two shots when flash used. Again this is marginal and I really do not think of this as a major -ve point, at least not for the money spent on these.
2. The ELPHs have made them look bulkier :) again not a biggie. The ELPHs are really compact. So even though these are not as big, they look big in front of elphs.
I would not recommend A550 to anyone only because they are old models, not because they are not good. Instead I would recommend the latest A series models that Canon has come out with. A720 IS, A570IS, A590IS. These are all great cameras with Image Stabilization built into them.
GREAT CAMERA June 27, 2008
Sandra Neace (Davie,Florida)
OWNED 1 BEFORE. COULDN'T FIND IT FOR MY VACATION. SO I WANTED 1 JUST LIKE IT AND FOUND IT ON AMAZON.COM .
IT'S A GREAT CAMERA, TAKES GREAT PICTURES. MY FAMILY WAS AMAZED AT THE CLARITY. AND HAVING AN HP PORTABLE PRINTER BOTH COMBINED WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN MAKING GOOD PIXS.
I HAVE RECOMMEND THIS A550 TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.
 Loved it until it got dropped :( June 17, 2008
