Quick review

The good
Compact, image quality as lower ISOs, responsive, easy to use, good metering and colour, above average lens
The bad
Detail suffers from noise reduction processing, intrusive noise over ISO 400, flimsy plastic battery/memory card hatch
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
