The New Canon Powershot S500 Digital Elph Is this the definitive micro-cam?

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: The new Canon Powershot S500 provides a near perfect balance of tough as nails durability, ultra-compact size, intuitive ease of use, and excellent five megapixel images.
Review: One of the high-tech revolution s most interesting areas has been the ultra compact digicam camera marketing niche. Canon s digital Elph models have consistently dominated that market sector with their classy synthesis of style and substance and the...

Review: The Canon PowerShot S500 is a 5-Megapixel digital advanced compact camera with metal body that features some manual control. I find some of its features and performance aspects useful and powerful whereas others are annoying and make me question why...

GREAT CAMERA.....but what is that spot on the LCD?

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: Good buy with the extended warranty. Canon generally has good CS unlike Sony. If you take posed snaps buy the DSC-P10. For shooting Kids/Pets get this or the S410.
Review: So after exhaustive research and countless hours of trials at Circuit City, Best-buy and Penn Camera we decided the best way to capture those candid moments of our 3 yr old daughter was with the PowerShot S500. We decided to buy the camera from...

A camera with the perfect size, feel, and interface

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: Quality, feel, size, reputation ... the key : when you walk out the store you have no regrets, and that is all I wanted. Canon's S500 is simply awesome.
Review: Having two small children it became apparent that I needed to indoctrinate myself to the digital world. I guess I was really tired of getting down to Eckerd buying those primitive disposable cameras. So I decided to help Mother Earth by going...

The great small camera

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy it. Just treat it little a carton of eggs.
Review: The Camera

I have a Canon S400 and a friend of mine purchased the new S500. Now aside from the new print button and the gold rim around the lens, I didn't notice any difference in picture quality. The quality of a camera does not just...

Really Excellent Digital Camera

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: In Knowledgeable Hands, Capable of Really Superb Photographs. Lots of Flexible Features, but, alas, No Manual Focus. I Highly Recommend this Fine Canon Compact Camera. I Just Love It!
Review: About three months ago, I purchased this camera, which was New Old Stock. The S500 was introduced about two years ago.

The newer, smaller Canon models have larger LCD Displays, but make compromises in Lens Quality and Ease of Use (buttons...

Canon S500...very, very nice camera!

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: Literally one of the best point and shoot 5MP cameras money can buy!
Review: I recently had a Canon Powershot S410 prior to owning an S500, but the lens wasn't acting right after a while, so I returned it and went ahead and bought an S500 for only a little more, due to discounts and a sale going on. Canon makes great...

Pretty Good Camera

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2007
Review: I received this camera as a gift December 2004. It is still working perfectly and I have taken many, many pictures. Its been dropped and tossed around, and nothing has failed. It takes a great picture in a variety of sizes.
Its a compact size,...

Great little thing! Best ELPH I ever had. But not perfect.

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2004
The Bottom Line: Very good point-and-shoot camera. Perfect for any vacation, party, fun, or ebay photography. Just not for professionals.
Review: AUTHOR BACKGROUND: I waited years for this camera to hit the market. My requirements: as compact as the analog ELPH / IXUS APS models, 5 Megapixels (that is what your average analog SLR gets), and below $500. OK, they got me to buy one ... The next...

Canon PowerShot S500 GREAT CAMERA

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2004
The Bottom Line: This camera has all I need and is compact enough to take with me anywhere. If you haven't entered into digital yet, this is a great camera to start.
Review: I was reluctant to spend $650.00 (Canadian) on a digital camera. But after using my brother-in-law's S400 I had to have a digital camera and the S500 model is the one I purchased. All the features that are available on this camera came as a pleasant...
