Easy-to-use and easy-to-hold, the PowerShot A550 gives you 7.1 Megapixels, a 4x Optical Zoom Lens, an ISO 800 feature for expanded low-light shooting and a DIGIC II Image Processor with iSAPS technology for beautiful pictures and great performance. Plus, there's even a Fast Frame Rate Movie Mode. Power is never a problem, because the A550 uses standard "AA" batteries. Great features at a great price - it's what makes the A550 such an amazing camera.

Reflection It has been great to have such a wonderful tool at hand, to take a snapshot of life in and out the classroom. Having a camera has motivated me to research new and creative ways to incorporate picture taking in my daily lessons. I was truly amazed at the amount of websites that provide thousands of lessons and resources for using digital cameras in the classroom. The only problem is that many of the ones I like require having more then one camera. I am looking forward to request a classroom set or to write a grant in order to provide more then one student at a time an opportunity to use the camera. media type="custom" key="6349807" align="center"
