Cons: Mediocre battery life, red-eye problems, chromatic aberration, and noisy ISO 400 images

One of the digital imaging revolution’s most fascinating high-tech product developments was the ultra compact digital camera. Canon has dominated that very popular marketing niche since the first micro-cams hit store shelves and the new Canon ...

Pros: Cool looks, compact, fast operation, excellent picture quality, large bright LCD, easy to use
Cons: I like metal-bodied SD400 better, no manual control, no shutter speed or aperture information

After trying out the 5 -Megapixel Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph and the 4 -Megapixel Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital Elph, I just had to experience the ...

Pros: Tiny size, 7.1MP, 3x optical zoom, some manual features, Excellent color accuracy, Improved movie modes

My brother got lucky for his birthday... he's getting a new iPod Mini from me and a brand spanking new SD500 from my parents. Now he has stuff to make me a bit envious of him in the world of high tech... including his new Infiniti G35. Well, he worked ...

Pros: great picture quality, great colors, nice LCD
Cons: e18 permanent lens error, dark spots inside the lens, bad battery life

I have been a Canon enthusiast for many years. I have owned S200, S230, S400 (one of my favorite cameras), SD200 and currently SD500. I always enjoyed taking pictures with Canon products especially with S400 (for quality) and SD200 (for size). It is such ...

Pros: Very small and portable, fast startup, many shooting modes, high quality photos.
Cons: Low-light photos (skylines, etc) without flash not great.

I've only had this camera for a few days, but felt the need to state just how awesome it really is. I have been searching for years for the perfect, most portable point and shoot camera, and that is exactly what Canon has provided. First, let me ...

Pros: tiny, rugged, adequate speed, range-topping megapixel count (for now), intervalometer
Cons: no manual modes, no accessory ring, expensive battery

I won't go into all the details of this camera, as I believe the other reviewers have done a good job of that. I wanted to purchase a camera which had low shutter lag, a long-exposure mode (since I want to experiment taking constellation shots and ...

Pros: Small size, ease of use, great pictures, good battery life, good video quality
Cons: Slow shutter response, no battery life indicator, body scratches easily.

This is the best compact digital camera I have ever owned. It's not quite perfect, but I am a very happy customer. It has been top rated by respected magazines and web-sites, and I have no reason to contradict them. The SD-500 is very small, and ...

Pros: Small, fast, excellent picture quality
Cons: Underpowered flash (common in all ultra compacts)

I am probably one of the first people that now can say they have owned the new Sony DSC P-200 and the new Canon SD-500. In another review, I noted why I was not pleased with the picture quality of the Sony (lots of blurry pictures and unnatural color). ...

Pros: Excellent value for the money. Solid feel and great pictures.
Cons: Weak flash. Bit slow on focus sometimes.

I purchased the SD500 in May for a European vacation in July. I had about four weeks to get familiar with it's features and found that for any special requirements I could preset the manual or scene modes in advance and let the auto mode take care of the ...

Pros: Fantastic photos and color, size and weight.
Cons: Movie mode compression, blurrys, recycle flash time.

The Canon SD500 is one of the better compact cameras on the market even today with newer models becoming available and the price point now makes it a best buy in many cases over the A series cameras which are larger and less sturdy in my opinion. It ...

Pros: size, versatility, great px
Cons: price, size, huge video files

Did the whole research-the-web-for-two-month s before pulling the trigger on our first digital camera (thank you Howard Creech for responding to my email). This was after we had virtually no video on child #2 before the age of 3. Therefore our focus wa...

Pros: size, color features, 7.1 megapixels
Cons: you'll need to buy another memory card, average battery life

First and foremost, I should say that I am very picky when it comes to cameras. With that out of the way...I love this camera! I bought this camera for its unique features (I'll talk about this more later on.), its compact size, and its 7.1 ...

Pros: Durable, amazing battery life, high quality pictures
Cons: Very blurry with flash turned off

I bought this camera almost a year ago, and while I knew that Canon was a great brand for cameras, I could never have expected that this tiny camera would take such amazing pictures. The effects on the camera are great, and the resolution of the images ...

Pros: This is the best camera, period.
Cons: None. Seriously !

After many months of searching I found this new camera the best one. Beating Sony models and other models in it's class. In fact this camera is in its own class. Others yet to match this one. Ignore minor 'cons' coments from people... they don't know ...

Pros: Small form factor, 7 megapixels, large LCD
Cons: Red eye, Blurring

Let me start by saying I've owned three canon camera's. I started off with the S30, then upgraded to the S50. I loved both of those cameras. I decided to trade in my s50 for an sd500 for a couple of reasons. I really liked the idea of having a camera ...
