Even if Canon A550 does not come with Image stabilization and no Exposure bracketing, it has a real-image zoom optical viewfinder, Pictbridge, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Connectivity and A/V output (PAL/NTSC switchable). Furthermore, the performance of this robust and ergonomic compact digicam is impressing: responsive, easy to use, good metering and natural colour, sharp and noise free photos at low ISO, some noise at high ISO. If no flash is used, the start-up time is around 1.5 seconds, and shot to shot time 1.7 seconds. Now wait a minute…. Where is the panoramic stitch assist mode? This time Canon forgot about it and I’m sorry to see this.
