Canon updates its bestselling PowerShot range with an affordable new model: the Canon A550 digital compact camera. The 7.1 Megapixel Canon PowerShot A550 replaces the PowerShot A530 and incorporates several new design features for enhanced ease of use. Remarkably compact and lightweight, the Canon PowerShot A550 camera offers the superb build quality found throughout the PowerShot range. The new compact PowerShot A550 features a Movie mode for VGA quality clips with audio of up to 60 minutes in length or 1GB file size (whichever is reached first). Movies and photos can be viewed on a TV via the AV out connection. The 7 Megapixel Canon PowerShot A550 camera will be available in February 2007.
