Manufacturer description

The exterior design of the DIGIMAX A55W is simple compared to other digital cameras. The location of the Power button near the part where a user grips the camera simplifies the button arrangement, which can be easily complex in regular digital cameras. Due to the location advantage, you can turn-on the power very easily and quickly while gripping the camera. The button arrangement makes the image of this digital camera more elegant and stylish. The DIGIMAX A55W employs a high resolution large LCD so you can take pictures whilst viewing subjects via the clear and large screen. The large LCD makes this camera a perfect substitute for a camcorder particularly for users who frequently use movie functions. The 200, 000 pixels high resolution TFT LCD will give you satisfaction when shooting and playing images. Various and complex digital camera functions make regular users who are not familiar with various camera functions uncomfortable when using a camera. The DIGIMAX A55W provides convenient function and setting buttons that can be used simply and easily with just one hand. In addition, this small pocket sized body enables you to firmly grip the digital camera. Thus, you can easily operate camera buttons in any situation.
