"Excellent Camera"
Pros: Camera Has Everything I Need. Pictures are great!
Cons: Included Strap is very cheap. Use your own hands instead!
Summary: This camera is a winner. Much better than Olympus FE series. I am very happy with this camera even with the big price. It is a great value for the dollar.Updated
Excellent Camera, I had a Olympus FE 200 which I trades back to Olympus. Camera was no where the camera the SP 550 is.Updated
I found out the string and lense cover gets in your way when shooting. Do not follow the instructions that comes with this camera when installing the lens cover. I purchased a ring holder that slips over the included strap, and can be removed easy, and then, the cover can be put in your pocket for safe keeping. Its called a Slip Sleeve Key Ring. You can find them a any of the popular hardware super stores.

Compared to other superzooms, all this camera has going for it is a 18X zoom, but even that is not all that great because of the subpar lens as compared to the Panasonic Leica lenses. Slow reacting, soft noisy pictures with barrel distortion at full zoom, not what I call a good camera, people save you money and buy the Panasonic FZ7 or FZ50 or the Fuji superzoom.
