First, thank you for putting a camera on a gps. Okay, now that that's out of the way... :)
Please change the loading sequence so that the camera can be used more quickly. Even though it's nice to have gps data embedded in the pictures, it's even more important to be able to get a picture before the moment passes. I hiked for nearly 2 months on the Pacific Crest Trail and the only wildlife I could take a picture of was a lizard that utterly refused to move. My worst moment was when 3 deer were probably within 20 yards of me. It took so long for the 550 to become operational that the deer slowly meandered out of sight before I could get them on camera. Emphasis on slowly.
Even better would be if I could take the pictures within seconds of turning on the 550 and then add the gps information when it becomes available.
Also, it would be nice to get video, although this might have to wait on the next version since video without audio wouldn't be all that useful. Still, maybe it could be added as a beta feature until the next hardware upgrade comes along? I would upgrade for video, especially if it came with a better (longer & brighter) camera lens.
