Photobird.com have reviewed the new Canon IXUS 55 compact digital camera (also known as the SD450), which has 5.0 megapixels, 2.5 inch LCD screen and 3x optical zoom lens.

“The SD550 is about $100 more.  My advice is to save your $100, buy the 5-megapixel SD450, and use the $100 to buy a tripod ($25), a large 512MB Secure Digital memory card ($35), a copy of “Understanding Exposure” or “Amphoto’s Complete Book of Photography” ($15) to improve your photography skills, and a subscription to a website where you can easily share your photos online, such as Photobird.com ($25).  You’ll get a tremendous amount more usage and benefits from this combination of products than you would from an extra 2 megapixels in your camera.”
