BIG Thanks to SuperGreg. Love my canon

Here are some pictures of the Canon SD550 delivered today. Just want to thank Greg again for the coupon code. I truly appreciate your help, that was an awesome deal. Hopefully, I can return the favor someday.

P.S. Please don't look at my ugly nails. Thank You.

Sony DSC-T1. I'm actually quite impressed with the picture quality considering how freakishly small the lens is (sony camera). It takes pretty decent photos from 3-5 feet away. Any further than that, photo quality diminishes rapidly with distance especially if there isn't enough light (flash becomes useless). Started with an Canon S400, then to a sd10, then to a sony, then I'm finally going back to the Canon. The S400 did serve me well. I hope the SD550 would do as well, if not, better. Judging by the reviews from magazines and the feedback given by members of x5world, I don't think I have much to worry with the quality and performance of canon cameras. My opinion, the best smallest compact, pocket sized, cameras are made by canon. The Carl Zeiss lens of sony is suppose to be good but they haven't come up with a camera that is similar to the dimensions of the sd series of canon and that also produces the same kind of high quality photos.

Dont know much about pixels and all that stuff, but I can say Ive had my S400 for 3 years, and its fallen from moving cars, boats, been smashed, beer spilled on it (several times) and has the battle damage to prove it...The thing still works like the day I bought it....

I'm glad you like it, that makes it all worth it! The SD550 is quite simply an amazing camera. It still amazes me with every new picture I take. I have a small collection of pics that I have taken with it. If there is any interest, I can post them up in a slideshow like I do for WWW. In addition jaba, if you need a case or a tripod, go back to the original thread, I posted my recommendations for those. If nothing else, get the case!

I got mine yesterday too. Thanks again Greg, for the coupon! I wrapped it up last night for my wife's XMas present. I am sure she will be very delighted to see it. I have a Nikon D70 and she seems out of place everytime she uses the camera.
