Judy,
There are positives to either camera. The main differences between them are listed below (the Canon SD550's details will be listed before those of the Canon SD600):
-Megapixels: 7.4 6.2
-ISO Range: 50-400 80-800
-Focal Length: 37-111mm equivalent 35-105mm equivalent
-Shooting modes: The Canon SD600 offers a wider variety to include "Kids and Pets," "Night Snapshot," and "Stitch Assist."
-Shutter Speed: 15-1/2000 sec 15-1/1500
-Light Metering is the same except the Canon SD550can focus its light meter on the AF frame,
-Shooting Speed: 2.0 fps 2.1fps
-Body Weight: 6.0oz 4.94oz
To explain these differences, the higher megapixel count gives you better resolution pictures, but the higher ISO level gives better shots in low light. Everything else is pretty close between the two cameras. I'd recommend the Canon SD600 if you know you will be doing more low light level shots or night shots.
