Pros Price, resolution, uses 2 AA batteries, size, features, image quality, easy to use
Cons Slow flash recycle, noise at highest ISO settings
Recommended it? Yes

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.

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 joy to be able to take short movies, especially... Read full 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. I was able to find one at Profeel.com who told me... Read full review »

This was our third Canon digital camera. The other two were fantastic; one just plain wore out after years of use, and the other is going strong. With our success with Canons, we didn't even shop around, just got this one that was on sale at OfficeMax.

We used fully charged rechargeable... Read full 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.
