We don't like:
A tendency to clip highlights; low battery life; mixed image quality

An SD/MMC card with a capacity of at least 128MB

Full review:

Equipped with friendly features, the V550 will appeal to those who want portability and simplicity wrapped in an attractive package. Continue Reading...
