a_shieh93's Full Review: Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera
My family's old camera was failing on us, so I researched a bit and decided to try out the Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera. My overall experience with this camera was very pleasant. This is a basic camera without any frills, and is a good buy for beginning users. In addition, the price was reasonable and the quality of the camera was well worth it.
Now on to the details...
Overall Look: The camera is quite chunky and is not easily able to fit into say, the pocket of your jeans. This is something to consider since it can sometimes be a hassle finding somewhere to place it when out traveling.
Zoom: 4x optical zoom, which is fairly decent. However, as with most other cameras, taking pictures while on zoom can cause blurriness.
Flash: My only complaint is that sometimes when using flash, the camera will "freeze" and I'll have to turn it off and on again to make things back to normal.
LCD Screen: Not bad, but could be a lot better. The pictures don't always show up as sharp and crisp as I would like them to. However, the colors and hues show up very well.
