SD1100 has an optical viewfinder. This is a battery saver.

S550 is a 10 megapixel camera, SD1100 is an 8 megapixel camera.

SD1100 has a larger sensor. Larger sensor size produces less noise at higher ISO. S550 can go up to ISO 2000 where SD1100 can only go up to ISO 1600. At 1600, the S550 would be noiser than the SD1100.

S550 has a focal range of 36-180mm (4.7x zoom). SD1100 has 38-114mm (4x zoom).

SD1100 maximum aperture range is 2.8-4.9. S550 is 2.7-5.8. Hard to tell here, but I imaging at 114mm on S550, it might be close to 4.9, so the S550 is probably better here.

As a whole, the S550 is probably the better camera. The SD1100 is good and can last longer on a battery if the optical viewfinder is used.
