I am considering trading in my old 2.1MP ELPH on the new Canon ELPH SD 550 with 7.1 MP and lots of new features. The camera, a Canon DC80 underwater housing, and a 2MB memory card will run about $750. I have used my old ELPH on Bonaire with minimal success underwater but it is great as a vacation camera. Also I intend to just use the built in flash.

First if the camera is 7.1MP..............you will need a bigger card then 2MB

Agree with Richards comments. Here's the DPreview comments on that camera. Here's a link for ScubaBoard. If you go into the Canon section and search for SD550 you'll see a lot of info.

Thanks to all. After browseing the ScubaBoard site I decided not to purchase the SD550 because of the lack of manual controls. The Canon A620 seems a much better choice.
