Canon PowerShot A550 Digital Camera .......2007-11-07

I have recently bought this camera for use in my Class of Receptions to record evidence that they are achieving. It's used by four of us and all staff have reported that it's easy to use and understand. It's light and compact to store in the cupboard. The quality of the pictures are great- just what we need.

7 mega pixels of fun..........2007-10-10

I've had this camera for a couple of months now and it hasn't let me down. It is not as slim and sexy as other modern compacts (in fact it's bigger than my faithful 2 1/2 year old Nikon Coolpix 3200 that I bought it to replace), mainly because of the AA battery compartment. However I think the advantage of AA batteries outweighs the "sexiness factor".
It is fast from power-up to first shot, photographs are very crisp and sharp and it takes movies well. I can't say I find the menu particularly intuitive but I'm getting there! Most "happy snappers" like me will keep it on auto and be more than pleased with the outcome. I had trouble connecting it to my old PC (via the USB cable) running Win2k but now I just stick the memory card in the slot of my new one which runs Vista with no problems.
4/5 - it's not perfect but it is well built, it performs well and for less then a ton, you'd struggle to do better :o)

Fantastic Camera at a fantastic price........2007-09-24

If like me you are looking for a camera that you can adjust every setting similar to an expensive SLR to achieve the perfect shot but your partner does not share the same camera savvy and only wants to point and fire then go no further as this camera has everything you could want and more that you might try for the first time at an unbeatable price.

Thanks Cannon.

zero stars.......2007-08-20

the canon powershot range comes with a free on-screen error message, "e18", which basically means that the lens is jammed and nothing can be done about it.

avoid this miserable piece of rubbish.

(and don't come crying to me when it happens to you too.)

Canon Powershot A550 review.......2007-08-20

This camera is compact, light but feels good quality build.
It has easy to use manual functions and a good ISO range of 80-800.
I have taken shots in a variety of lighting conditions and it performs very well.
The depth of field is excellent, which you would expect with compact lenses, but compared to other cameras i have the Canon is sharper and retains excellent contrast and colouring in your backgrounds when shooting in good outdoor light.
Shots taken indoors without flash, on Auto ISO setting,were excellent. It fits nicely in the hand and all the controls are accessible when you get used to them without taking your eye off the subject. On a 2GB SD Card, on full resolution, the camera will take 647 shots, which should be ample for most people.
The 2" LCD screen is also very good and is viewable in all but the brightest light. The 4x Optical zoom is a good feature, but forget about the digital zoom, as it reduces the quality of the shots significantly (as with most cameras) and is a waste of time.
The video capture function has 3 settings, fast capture for sports and action (60fps), standard for normal conditions (30fps) and compact, for sending as an e-mail file or viewing on a small screen (15 fps).
The sports mode is good, but disables the zoom function. Standard mode is best and still allows you to zoom in and out from your subject. The compact mode is around the quality you would expect from the average mobile phone and is a little pixelated when your subject starts moving.
Sound is recorded in mono but is good quality and the camera picks up sound well, even when used outside.
The movie capture in standard mode is the best compromise and provides good quality (similar to the old 8mm camcorders) which is viewable on full screen when played back on your PC screen at good quality, and acceptable quality on a normal TV when played back using the lead provided (just be sure to change the settings to PAL not NTSC if playing througha standard UK TV).
I understand there are a number of teleconverter and telewide converter lenses for this camera which will increase the zoom or give a wider angle of view respectively. The ones i have looked at though, made by Canon are expensive at £100+. I expect that they will be of superior quality though, but if you are to spend that sort of money it would be better to look further up the powershot range for something to take serious hobby shots without having to lump an SLR or large bridge camera about.
At between £100-£150 to buy, i think this camera is a bargain, and is ideal for either the keen amateur / pro user as a convenient, great quality pocketable compact, or for the novice user who just wants to point and press and achieve good results. Highly recommended.

Great Case for Canon Powershot A570IS.......2008-01-06

Ordered this item on a Friday lunchtime with some other bits and selected 'Super Saver Delivery'. Received it by 9am the next day! Amazing service from Amazon.

The product itself is a great fit for the A570IS, fitting the camera snugly as you would expect and therefore provided a good standard of protection. There is space on the inside of the lid for memory cards and enough room in the front pocket for AA batteries. What more could you want?

Compared this in a shop to a LowePro Apex alternative and found it a better fit and only a couple of quid more for the official item. Well worth the extra outlay.

Nice Snug fit Bag.......2008-01-04

I bought this bag because it was small like the powershot camera I bought recently. I wanted something small which would protect my camera but not increase the weight or size I was carrying around with me. This bag is just right for the powershot range - being only larger than the camera itself so that you have protection but not have a large bag to carry - thus keeping the compact size of the camera. I was impressed with the little pockets which can hold memory cards and more importantly batteries.
Well worth the money if you value your canon powershot.

Great for the A710 IS.......2007-04-24

A great price for an original Canon case (especially if purchased with supersaver delivery). It fits my A710 IS, a spare SD card but a bit of a squeeze to fit 2 AA batteries in the front pouch; hence 4 stars. Otherwise a well made compact case.

A snug fit!.......2007-01-26

This case is ideal to protect your A700 in. There's just enough room to keep spare memory cards and the front pocket can stash four AA batteries. The case seems to be well finished and the overall quality is very good.

Do not buy for the A640 or A630.......2006-11-18

The case is too small for the A640 and A630. For these cameras you need the Canon DCC-300 case.

The product advertisement is misleading.

Product Description

The Canon PowerShot A550 has been designed with ease of use firmly in mind. Key controls and buttons are intuitively positioned for fast, fingertip access. A selectable Grid Line Display on the LCDs helps with shot composition, while the 2.0? screen size makes it easy for family members to view photos together without connecting to a PC. A wide range of shooting modes cover most family and social situations, allowing users to shoot without having to worry about camera settings. The PowerShot A550 simplifies shooting even further by bringing the most commonly used Special Scene modes ? such as Night Snapshot and Kids & Pets ? out of the menu system and onto the camera?s Shooting Mode dial. My Colors allows users to apply photo effects direct from the camera while shooting, with options including Sepia and Black & White. The PowerShot A550 features a Movie mode for VGA quality clips with audio of up to 60 minutes in length or 1GB file size (whichever is reached first). Movies and photos can be viewed on a TV via the AV out connection.
