Amazing TV with an incredible picture
4 of 5 found this helpful I looked at dozens of TVs for months before deciding on this one. It had the best picture I could find anywhere. The model I got is actually slightly different, but only in that it's last year's model. All the important functions are either the same of improved in the 567W.
Ths picture quality is better than any other TV I looked at - DLP, LCD, plasma, CRT, anything. It's bright and clear, and handles motion perfectly.
This TV has all the inputs in the world - HDMI, DVI, component, composite, etc. It could almost replace a basic receiver. I know it's kept me from having to buy one.
All in all, I highly recommend this TV. There's nothing it can't do.

Great camera for the price and size
3 of 4 found this helpful Strengths: Fast, very compact, excellent photo quality, solidly built, good controls and menus, uses industry standard memory, external charger
Weaknesses: Flash photos a little hot, no "full manual" mode
Summary: I was looking for a shirt pocket replacement for the Canon S30 I've had for years. I settled on the SD550 after many hours of research based on specifications, user and expert reviews and the fact that Canon uses industry standard SD memory. A couple cameras from other makers were tempting, but they either used xD or Memory Stick which have a price compatibility issues with third party photo storage units like the X-drive. My final decision actually came down to the SD400, SD500 and SD550. I chose the SD550 for its higher resolution over the SD400 and features over the SD500.
The speed of this camera is amazing. It ready to shoot before I've got it up to frame the shot. It focuses fast, especially if you turn off multipoint focusing and stick to center focus, and shutter lag is next to nonexistant. Recycle times are very good, especially without flash. In continuous mode, I've seen a speed difference between Hi-speed and economy memory.
Speaking of flash, I've seen less red eye than with other compact cameras I'm familiar with. On the downside, close-up flash photos in dark places tend to be a bit overexposed. I've learned to use the exposure compensation to correct for that. The Indoor scene mode seems to help as well.
The camera doesn't have a fully manual modes, but beyond playing with them on my S30 when I first got it, I never used them. I would just pick the appropriate scene mode and exposure compensation to get what I wanted. I do miss having separate flash exposure correction, but that's about it.
I do like the controls. One of the things I like about Canon's cameras is the user interface. Just about everything I want to do to take a shot is no more than one level deep without creating button overload. One of the selling points on the SD550 was that a few more common settings are more readily accessible than the SD500. I need more play with the many scene modes under different conditions to get a really good feel for what works best for a given condition.
Image quality is everything I expected based on reviews and my experience with Canon cameras. Detail is very good without being over sharp. Colors and tone are natural. Nothing to complain about here.
A 512MB card holds ~156 photos at the highest quality and resolution. I found that I can shoot that many shots in a day on vacation, so I decided that two 512MB cards are ideal for me. The cost is close to the price of a single 1GB card without the risk of a single point of failure. When I found a package online that included a name brand 512MB card bundled with the camera for $445 delivered, I just picked up a hi-speed card to use as a primary card.

Huge, Beautiful Screen with Some Serious Flaws
10 of 12 found this helpful Pros: 24" 1080p Widescreen, enough said. Unbeatable price. 3 Year Warranty
Cons: DVI only works properly with the computer. Component quality stinks. Some bits of banding and ghosting. Dell refuses to fix all the issues, and they are on their 4th revision (A03)!!
Don't get me wrong, I love my monitor and I couldn't live without it. There is no way you can get a high resolution 24" widescreen for $750 anywhere.
If you are serious about picture and color quality (ie heavy photo editing) or use more than one input (plan to use Component or DVI for watching HDTV or DVDs through your set top box or DVD player or play Xbox 360) be warned that the picture quality absolutely stinks outside of using the DVI for your computer. I've tried to do HDTV over the DVI (doesn't work) as well as the Component (terrible picture quality and bad color balance).
If you are like me and just work on spreadsheets and surf the web, watch an occasional movie, browse through pictures, then by all means buy this ASAP. If you plan on doing more, then you really need to stop and think about this purchase. Dell has had many issues with this monitor, they have had 4 revisions (from A00 and is now on A03 and some issues are still unresolved)
But, even with all those problems, I still had a tough time deciding on 4 or 5 stars. I'd rather give it 4.5, so my rating is 9/10 - almost perfect.
