At the core of the EC-WB550 models is a powerful 12.2-megapixel CCD sensor that delivers stunning image quality with vibrant colors and impressive detail.

The EC-WB550’s 3.0-inch AMOLED display enhances the shooting experience, providing vivid colors and great viewing angles. This user-friendly screen allows for easy navigation through menus and settings, as well as the ability to review images with accuracy. Furthermore, the camera's compact and stylish design makes it easy to carry, fitting comfortably in pockets or bags.

The camera also supports HD video recording at a resolution of 720p, making it possible to capture life’s moments in motion with clarity and detail. Users can enjoy a range of artistic options, thanks to multiple scene modes, including Portrait, Night, and Macro.
