Canon Powershot SD550 Digital ELPH Camera

I've just recently purchased a Canon PowerShot SD 550 Digtal ELPH. It's a big name and even bigger selection of cool functions. This thing boasts 7.1 megapixels 3x optical zoom and the 2.5 LCD.

What I really thought was neat was the movie features. It came with 32 MB memory card however I quickly upgraded to the 1 GB for about $50.

Now it will record in movie mode for about an hour in standard mode with the resolution set to (320x240)and the frame rate at 15 frames/second.

Resolution and frame rate can be set higher of course up to 60 frames/second and (640x480) in movie mode.
Compact 3 minute clips (good for e-mail attachments) can also be taken 3 minutes at a time about 2 hours total.


These are just a handful of the things it will do. Overall it seemed to be a great buy for around $200.
