I wouldn't buy it again. I am in fact looking to buy another camera as all pictures i am taking come out blurry. I have read the instructions over and over again and i cant seem to work it. My old camera was the powershot a75 and i absolutely loved it so i don't know why i can not get along with this one.

The Canon Powershot A550 is an excellent camera for the money and I would think hard to beat at between £100-140 mark.
