Canon PowerShot A550 Details
Editors' Comments
The Canon PowerShot A550 is the latest in Canon's mid-range, affordable line, picking up where the popular A530 and A540 left off while introducing a powerful 7.1 megapixel sensor. This is about as easy as photography can get, though if you're a real power user or interested in the potential for growth, it'll be hard to take the training wheels off of this model. There are manual exposure settings, but there's greater versatility in a camera like the Canon A640.
