Title: Canon Powershot A550 Review

Pros: Good exposure and focus accuracy, Nicely saturated colors, Good image sharpness, Low image noise up to ISO 200, Good body ergonomics, Spectacular battery life

Title: Canon PowerShot A550

Pros: Very good photo quality, noise levels low through ISO 400 (in good light) Well built (for the most part) for the price Very good performance LCD visible in low light Some manual controls AF-assist lamp, good low light focusing Good movie and continuous sh

Cons: Some corner blurriness Redeye remains a problem Small, low resolution LCD Can only record about 8 minutes of VGA video due to 1GB file size limit Flimsy door over memory card / battery compartment; plastic tripod mount Small memory card included

Verdict: The Canon PowerShot A550 is a very good entry-level digital camera, and one that I can recommend easily. I'm going to do something a little unusual, though: I'm going to recommend that you pay $30 more for its big brother, the PowerShot A560. Why? For the

Title: Canon PowerShot A550

Pros: Produces sharp, clear shots. Great performance. Very little shutter lag. Has a glass viewfinder.

Cons: Recycle times were a little slow. Smallish LCD.

Verdict: As an inexpensive point-and-shoot, the Canon PowerShot A550 isn't perfect, but it delivers quality shots and good performance.

Title: Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera Review

Pros: Good handling, 4x optical zoom lens, Excellent color reproduction, $199 price tag, Easy to use

Cons: Poor resolution on small LCD, Boring design, No optical zoom in movies, Noisy zoom lens, Barrel distortion

Verdict: With a $199 price tag, amazing performance can't be expected from the A550. It does, however, meet the basic requirements of an adequate digital camera. It can take a picture when you want, where you want, and how you want. It doesn't have much shutter la

Summary: Introduced in January 2007 and released the following month, the Canon PowerShot A550 has design features reminiscent of past models but promises to be even easier to use.

Title: Canon PowerShot A550

Pros: Great colour capture, Low price tag, 4x zoom, Fast operation, Sturdy design

Cons: Pictures perhaps not quite as sharp as they could have been

Verdict: Another great compact camera from Canon, the PowerShot A550 won't compare to some more high-end units, but considering the price tag and the features on offer, it's an excellent value-for-money product.

Title: Canon PowerShot A550 digital camera

Pros: Compact, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, above average lens

Cons: Detail suffers from noise reduction processing, intrusive noise over ISO 400, flimsy plastic battery/memory card hatch

Verdict: Canon's budget range of PowerShot models has been beefed up with the PowerShot A550, a compact and easy to use 7-megapixel model that has a great price and nice feature set

Summary: - The A5509 replaces the A530 incorporating several new features for improved ease of use. It's a blocky looking beastie but actually quite small and although the predominantly plastic build helps keep the price down, it feels remarkably tough in the hand

Title: Canon PowerShot A550

Pros: Easy Interface, Good detailing

Cons: Doesnt capture reds and greens well, Plagued with smudges

Verdict: For the street price of about Rs. 10,000, the camera is a decent buy. I need not say, of course, that the camera is purely for point-and-shoot. The colors are decent, and the sharpness is quite good. But we did notice some smudging in underdeveloped porti

Summary: Now here is a camera that doesn't complicate things for users.

Title: Canon Powershot A550

Pros: Picture quality

Cons: Shutter lag with flash on

Verdict: Although one of the slightly more expensive entry level digital cameras the Canon Powershot A550 is well worth the extra money. When it comes to picture quality it has the edge over all the other cameras I have reviewed to date in this category. Recommend

Cons: Images plagued with artifacts and fringing; small LCD.

Verdict: This camera's low price tag and solid performance can help you forget that it doesn't have many bells or whistles.

Summary: Canon's PowerShot A550 is a simple, inexpensive 7-megapixel camera, and that's all it wants to be. While it has some nice features, it doesn't offer any outstanding, unique aspects that put it above any other camera in the field, and that's just fine. Goo
