Canon powershot A550 is one of the best things I have ever had till now. One day I bought it and I have been fall in love with it till now. It is simple, easy to use, and reliable(actually, I bring it on my pocket all the time). It produce high quality image, and can be printed out easily (one of its features). Mode can be changed into analog or digital (in taking pictures, some people like to use one). And I think its price acceptable for the features we will get. =) try it!

make sure to read the manual (quiet a bit, but important), and be carefull when you bring it in your pocket, do not get it into bumped with hard things, it is an sensitive area near the lens.

about the camera it self, as we know the basic spec: 7.1 Megapixels, 4x optical zoom, memory depends on the MMC you have, using 2 pieces AA battery (recharge-able recommended and stock about 2 - 4 pieces for 2 days in daily use, but depends on frequent use). it has LCD but if you want to use like the old way, we can change it mode to analog (LCD off and you see through the lens above the LCD).

when I buy it, I got a manual, Driver CD, cable connection, 1 GB MMC, a pair AA recharge-able batteries with the recharge tool, AV cable (to connect it with the TV).

Oh ya, if you want to connect your Canon PowerShot A550 with the cable, you can do it with the 'jack' covered by rubber top in the left side of the canon (when LCD is facing to you). Open it from bottom to up side gently.

Just remind you of the battery use, do not forget to recharge it or bring a spare, you do not want to lost a moment to capture. ^^
