I would highly recommend the seller because the product came exactly as described and within a shorter time than expected!
I am very happy with the deal!
This camera's about the same size as her previous one, though it's lighter. I wondered about the plastic casing and whether it could withstand "active use." Already it's been dropped a couple times, and it has survived.
Image quality is pretty nice at 180dpi. Color is relatively accurate. We haven't used any of the in-camera fancy stuff (such as red-eye correction), so I can't really say much about that.
Anyone who is familiar with the PowerShot series won't be disappointed. It's the same deal, just with 8 megapixels. Canon seems to have taken the approach of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and it's working pretty well with this camera, especially for the price.
It's good for price. Even so, I would not buy this camera again. I would try, maybe, the CAnon SD1200. Or the semi-professional cameras, they are really GREAT!
After reading all the reviews and with experience of a friend's older Ixus I finally plumped for this one. This light compact smooth and simply cool camera goes on every walk. The results are just brilliant, so much so, that I have just sold my Nikon SLR and lenses. Fantastic.
So I heard about these "dual purpose" camcorders that record onto a memory card. I read all the reviews I could find. But let me tell you, don't believe these guys who pooh pooh this camcorder because the images aren't sharp enough or they're not "true" HD, or they use some unconventional file format. If you care about that stuff, then go spend the $3000 to get that stuff. But if you want a pocket sized camcorder to haul around to the family outings, buy this. Still images are excellent. There's plenty of pre-programmed settings (snow, beach, portrait etc.), so you'll always be ready to go. And the video quality is unbelievable coming from this little thing. I got an 8 Gig card and I've never run out of space. I plugged it into my Mac and it worked without a hitch or any messing around with settings, cords, connections etc. Pure plug and play with iPhoto. iMovie imports the movies from iPhoto. The Canon software isn't bad either, but I seldom use it.
The ergonomics do take some getting used to. The shutter button is at the top of the box and it's a little tricky on the first few uses to keep the rest of your fingers out of the frame. The thumb controls on the back for the camcorder can also be tricky to get the hang of. But after a few uses, I got used to it and it feels great now. Be careful asking strangers to use it though because it's not your typical button layout for either a camera or a camcorder.
This is the best $400 I've spent in a long time. Replaced both a digital camera and a camcorder. And it's saved my neck, back and sanity on all those family outings I enjoy shooting.
Pros:
-Compact, long zoom camera
-Good outdoor photos
-Automatic lens cover (something I wish the sony had)
-Manual flash
Cons:
-I personally don't like using AA batteries, but I notice a lot of people would consider this a Pro item
-no battery life meter, tells you that battery is low right before it cuts off
-Ridiculous flash recycle time (I wanted a new camera for upcoming disney trip - characters come and go fast in character meals, I see myself missing precious shots!)
-batteries fall out everytime you change sd card
-indoor photos are either under or over exposed (too much or too little light) causing shadows
I would give 2.5 out of 5 stars but it wouldn't let me. If you are looking for a compact camera with long zoom, I would recommend checking into Sony DSC H10 or DSC H3. Professional reviews are not as good on the sony although I'm at a loss as to why. If you want a camera that you don't have to fool with settings to get good pictures - I definitely recommend Sony.
Though not quite small enough to slip into your jeans, the A550 is still comfortably compact. At 7.4 ounces and 1.7 inches thick, the camera can fit easily into most jacket pockets and bags. The camera's body has an L-shaped design found on most of Canon's PowerShot A series, giving it a generous grip. The buttons are large and comfortable, and they're laid out logically along the back and the top of the camera.
The A550 is a fairly nondescript camera, with few outstanding or unusual features. Its most notable attribute is its 35mm-to-140mm-equivalent 4X zoom lens, which gives it just a bit more range than the 3X lenses typical of most budget cameras. It has a smaller-than-usual 2-inch LCD screen that is augmented by an optical viewfinder for shooting in dim light. Besides those features, the A550 has the standard handful of scene presets and image adjustment settings, including a 30fps VGA (640x480) movie mode and a pleasantly unexpected 60fps QVGA (320x240) high-speed movie mode. Finally, like most Canon PowerShot A-series cameras, the A550 conveniently takes AA batteries.
The A550 performed well in almost all of our Labs' tests. After its brisk start-up time of 1.5 seconds, we could snap a shot once every 1.7 seconds, a great improvement over previous PowerShot A5x0 cameras. Unfortunately, with the onboard flash enabled, that time more than tripled to 4.9 seconds per shot. The camera's shutter was responsive, lagging less than 0.5 seconds with our high-contrast target and a modest 1.2 seconds with our low-contrast target. Burst mode was also pleasantly fast, managing 51 full-resolution shots in 31.4 seconds for a rate of 1.6 frames per second.
Photos looked pretty good, though they're marred by overprocessing and fringing in spots. Colors reproduce well, though indoor photos shot with automatic white balance come out very yellow, a common problem for most snapshot cameras. Noise is low up to ISO 400 sensitivity, where a fine grain starts to appear. Images are predictably noisy at ISO 800 sensitivity, with speckling damaging fine details and softening colors. ISO 800 is usually reserved for low-light and high-speed shooting, and everyday snapshots shouldn't have many problems.
With quick performance and decent photos, the Canon PowerShot A550 is a solid budget camera. It doesn't have many special features and it's not particularly small or light, but it's a strong choice if you don't want to spend a lot for your snapshots.
I'm not a pro but I always wanted a cost-effective deal that would allow me to take better pics of landscapes during my trips. This machine has good and firm grip, crispy quality pictures, awesome movies with the zoom capability and great sound. It isn't a portable camera, so you better consider buying a nice case (not the Canon one) for the camera itself and all the stuff you might need (extra batteries, memory card, cables and so on).
I suggest anyone that is interested in buying this camera to check first for some serious review before going ahead. It is good to know that a new model is now available (SX1 IS) with new features.
I have had this camera Canon PwerShot TX1 for less than one year and the LCD screen only displays all white now. This is very disturbing since I take such good care of the camera. [...] I would not recommend this camera since I am not the only one experiencing this problem. [...]
Auto" most of the time and found that to be satisfactory.
One minor gripe, you can turn the flash off, but not force it on, that would be handy when you are outside, but have shadow on your subjects faces. Other than that, and for the money, I am more than satisfied with this camera
Edit: Upon reading through the manual, I find that I am mistaken. You can't force the flash to fire in AUTO mode, but can in other modes.
