PC Mag has confered its illustrious Editor’s Choice award on Canon’s new ultracompact, ultra-excellent, 7.1 megapixel PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph. For only $409, you can partake in hours upon hours of this high-def goodness. The SD550 is a patched version of last year’s also-praised SD500, and both myself and PC Mag share the sentiment that the SD550 has earned the 50 points. “While matching its predecessor in resolution, the human color-wheels over at PC Mag agree that the SD550 actually takes a better picture than the SD500, and sports a bigger screen to boot (2.5-inches vs. 2.0). Also impressive were the ‘excellent’ flash, ergonomic design, bootup time, shutter lag (or lack thereof), and 30fps VGA video capture that ‘was slightly better than that of the SD500.’ The only quibbles were relatively minor, and involve some obscure photographic wonkiness that we’ll leave to the review.” Methinks this is one for the kids!
