Canon Powershot By Mean_Queen on Sep 23, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The Canon Powershot SD550 is a high quality yet user-friendly digital camera. It is a 7.1 mega pixels camera with a 3X optical zoom. The color view finder screen is 2.5 inches wide. This gives you a great view to take pictures. I've noticed though, when it's dark, it's better to use the old style view finder rather than the screen. It has red-eye reduction, which can be a little annoying for your subject since it's a bright repeated flash. But it does help get rid of the "devil eye" look. This camera also takes movies. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the video. Though the sound leaves a bit to desire. It tends to have a bit of a hisss making the subject sound like they have a lisp. Overall, this is a great camera that I highly recommend.
