Great Canon Product but fragile

(John Sweeney - 12/17/06)

I've owned Powershots since the line started and the first ones were beasts: nothing could break them. The current SD550 is much more tender. It takes great pix and hooks up smoothly with my Powerbook plus comes with great software. Just be mighty careful of the screen. Also, the focusing mechanism went out of whack on mine —- I could have smacked the machine but who knows? That said, Canon service is great.
