Hi Martha,
The main differences between the Canon SD550 and the Canon SD600 (aside from the megapixels) are as follows:
-The SD600 is lighter and has a thinner body than the SD550.
-The SD600 offers a higher ISO- 800 instead of the 550's 400. ISO800 can be convenient in marginal light situations but does result in somewhat noisy pictures.
-The SD600 has a higher resolution LCD screen, with about 50% more pixels per area resulting in more clarity on-screen.
-The 550 uses a 1/1.8 sensor, while the 600 uses a more advanced 1/2.5 sensor. This really makes such a marginal difference that most users will not notice it but it is considered a slight improvement.
I'd say that unless you're planning on printing large pictures (where the extra mp in the 550 will matter), the difference between these cameras is negligible. Some people prefer the 600 because of the better quality LCD screen and the fact that it's lighter weight and easier to hold.
Hope that helps!
