Comments:
Canon's PowerShot A550 is a simple, inexpensive 7-megapixel camera, and that's all it wants to be. While it has some nice features, it doesn't offer any outstanding, unique aspects that put it above any other camera in the field, and that's just fine. Goo

Comments:

Review Verdict: Another great compact camera from Canon, the PowerShot A550 won't compare to some more high-end units, but considering the price tag and the features on offer, it's an excellent value-for-money product.

Comments:
- The A5509 replaces the A530 incorporating several new features for improved ease of use. It's a blocky looking beastie but actually quite small and although the predominantly plastic build helps keep the price down, it feels remarkably tough in the hand

Review Verdict: Canon's budget range of PowerShot models has been beefed up with the PowerShot A550, a compact and easy to use 7-megapixel model that has a great price and nice feature set
