Canon Powershot

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.
