How Much is the Canon Powershot SD550 worth?

Jun 20, 2007 by bp | Posted in Cameras

Perfect condition, doesnt have original package (never came with it) but has everything that its supposed to. How much do you think its worth? On Ebay for exp.?
Oh plus a 512 MB SD memory card

The best thing to do would be go search for the camera and watch a few of the listings (add them to your watch list, not just go back and look at them) that are exactly what you have, at the end of each you will be able to see what the ending price was, somewhere in that range is what it is worth.

How do I take a 600x600 pixel photograph with the Canon SD550 Powershot Digital Camera without any editing?

Nov 30, 2008 by satellite | Posted in Cameras

I want to submit it to the Diversity Visa Lottery and it won't accept any other resolutions. I don't also have access to any digital image editing software.

Thanks in advance !

You can not do that in camera, and you wouldn't want to even if you could.
If you don't have any editing software, simply upload it to picnik.com or fotoflexer.com and do it there (for free).

My friend has a Canon Powershot SD550 and cannot get the pics off it on Windows XP... any ideas?

She installed the software off the cd that came with the cam, but its not working for her. I'm used to dealing with things on a Mac, so iPhoto just runs the show for me, but I have no idea what to tell her. Any insight?

I have the SD550. Tell her to connect the camera to her pc with the provided usb cable. Switch the camera to view mode (like if were going to look at the picture on the camera's lcd). Give it a minute. The camera's lcd should turn off and the software on your pc should prompt her to start downloading the pictures.

Can I use an 8GB SD memory card with a Canon SD550 Powershot Camera?

May 01, 2008 by Nahaara | Posted in Cameras

Does it matter what size memory card I use? What is the largest size SD memory card I can use with it. I am currently using 1GB and it works perfectly fine.

No, you can't use an SDHC (high capacity SD) memory card with your SD550.
Memory cards are dirt cheap, so just buy another 1-2GB SD card if you need more capacity.

Can I use my Canon SD550 Powershot camera as a web cam?

I was wondering if I can hook it up to my computer and get it configured with Skype?

No, you can't use your camera as a webcam. You will have to buy a...webcam, instead. A good one won't cost too much.

My Canon powershot SD550 Digital Elph flash not working?

May 08, 2008 by Peter K | Posted in Cameras

I had this camara for a years now and the flash just broke. Can someone help me? Should I buy a light bulb to replace it? (If so where can I get the light bulb?) or trade it for SD800IS. how much will it cost me to get it repair?

I spent over 25 years working in the Consumer Repair Electronics business. Today and for the last 10 years at least 100% of all items priced under $300 are "throw - away" and were never really intended to be repaired, only certain things on items priced between $300 and $700 have some parts available that can be purchased and replaced. If you spend more then $700 on an item then you fully expect to find most parts available most of the time. At one point with the service center at Best Buy in St. Louis, we went from around $100,000 in parts inventory on hand in 1990 to well over a million in parts inventory on hand by 1994 for just one location out of well over 40 locations.

When you build and sell 40 million widgets to go along side hundreds and thousands of other items just imagine how much part stock inventory accumulates? Now imagine why no one would stock a "flash bulb"?

Go buy a new camera and keep the Earth spinning on its axis

scratch remover for the screen on a cannon powershot SD550 camera?

Jul 07, 2006 by gievanpernia | Posted in Cameras

I have bad stratches i want to remove!

I would not try the ones advertised ont TV. They will probably haze your whole screen and ruin it. Your best bet is try and find one on ebay that someone is salvaging from another camera of your model. They are very expensive if you go to Canon. Next time use a lens protector like those sold for the GameBoy or other screen protectors.

what does the USB cord look like to the cannon powershot sd550 camera?

It's a common cord, USB to mini USB 5-pin.

What's the difference between the canon powershot SD500 and the SD550?

Dec 17, 2005 by Aaron Armstrong Skomra | Posted in Cameras

I bought the SD500 before the SD550 came out. I know the lcd screen is bigger. Are there any other differences? AND is the bigger screen that much of a difference?

Also I know that there were problems with people cracking the screen on the SD500. Did the SD550 resolve these problems?

It also appears there may be some *tiny* other changes. The comparison seems to show a few and the software may be slightly different.

There was also a long discussion of this at http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message=16049717

Can I charge battery for Canon Powershot SD550 with my S110 charger I bought on eBay? Blk w/ inlaid flat plug?

Nov 08, 2008 by Michael S | Posted in Cameras

I have a seemingly-universal charger I bought on eBay (probably came from Hong Kong). It's got the US-version inlaid plug that has a hinge-joint snap (so you can retract the plug part if you're going to charge it via the car charger attachment). I bought if for my Canon Powershot S110.
Can I charge the battery for my Canon SD550 in it? It is a little bit shorter, but the contacts are in exactly the same place; the battery looks like it's the same shape-- just shorter. One of them says BJB and one says CLC. That is the only difference in the batteries besides the fact that the battery for SD550 is shorter.

Both batteries are black and both have the same exact width and thickness.

Thanks!!!
