Successor to the famous PowerShot A530, the PowerShot A550 from Canon continues the tradition of versatility and user-friendliness of this renowned series. Still as friendly and flexible as before, the PowerShot A550 offers photographers of all levels a CCD sensor of more than 7 million pixels and a 4x optical zoom. In this way, you can easily take detailed photos that can be printed in A3 format without losing any of their quality.
The PowerShot A550 also comes with a 2" screen so that you can view your shots quickly and comfortably in 16:9 mode, which is ideal for viewing on your widescreen television or for panoramic printing from a photo printer.
The sensitivity can be adjusted to 800 ISO, enabling you to take great shots indoors and outdoors, and with or without flash in poor lighting conditions. This sensitivity also has the advantage of increasing the shutter speed which eliminates the risk of blur on moving subjects in normal lighting conditions.
Added to its numerous focusing modes is an ergonomic handling thanks to a comfortable handle unique to the A series, as well as a compatibility with High Capacity SD memory cards (SDHC Cards). With the PowerShot A550, you can have a powerful and high performance appliance to offer all the family an attractive digital photo experience!
