The wide angle is equivalent to 36mm. In good light the S550 produces excellent pictures.

The telephoto end of the 5x zoom range is equivalent to 180mm

Colour reproduction is pretty much perfect.

The exposure metering strikes a good balance between highlight and shadow detail.

The flash is a bit weak, and doesn't quite cover the corners of the frame, but exposure is very good.
