Digital Camera Review

May 24, 2007 - By Emily Raymond
2 Introduced in January 2007 and released the following month, the Canon PowerShot A550 has design features reminiscent of past models but promises to be even easier to use. It has automatic modes and basic features meant to attract first-timers and shooters moving up from the most primitive of entry-level models. The 7.1-megapixel digital camera has a 2-inch LCD screen and 4x optical zoom lens, and retails for $199.
