Canon just fixed for free. The placement of the LCD screen on the Canon is such that it offers no protection. The Canon offers 7 Mega Pixs vs the Kodak at 5. Not sure that you really can see the difference.

The wide angled lens is nice, but there are also tradeoffs to keep in mind. The tele lens is not continuous, and their docking station is one that bothers me. You want to view a slideshow, you need to put it in the dock etc... I think your SD550 is a much better camera overall. Just my 2¢
The V570 includes the snazzy Photo Frame 2 camera dock, which can be used for several things, including charging the battery, transferring photos to your computer, or viewing them on a television. In fact, unless you can hunt down a mysterious adapter shown in the manual, this is the only way you can transfer photos or view them on a TV
The camera can also display a slideshow on its LCD while it's on the dock.
it's not a continuous zoom like on most other cameras. When you zoom in, you start at 23 mm, then suddenly jump to 39 mm -- there's nothing in between
no viewfinder other than the lcd screen
The V570 is a 100% point-and-shoot camera, with
no real manual control
The two areas in terms of performance where the V570 falls short are low light focusing (not great) and battery life (poor)
