Pretty Good Camera
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, perfect for a purse or fanny pack. The only thing...

Easy to Use & Great Pictures
What a great little point and shoot camera. Takes beautiful pictures and easy enough for my 7 year old to use. Wish the doors were a little more sturdy and the LCD a little bigger. A second battery is a must, though I've been quite pleased with how long they last. Largest print I've done with it... Read full review »
Warning 4 star camera turns into a pumpkin after 1 yr!
I had no problems with my camera until yesterday. While I was at Sesame Place, celebrating my son's 1st birthday...the camera lens jammed up and the "E18" display number came out. My husband had to shimmy the lens to make it close. I came home and researched the problem only to find out that many... Read full review »
Really Excellent Digital Camera
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 are too small on newer models). So, because I...

Great small camera
Love this camera because it's easy to use and is compact enough to take anywhere. We bought it when our first child was born so we could take and email pictures, but have found it to be even more useful than we could have imagined.
Shutter speed is a slight downfall, but for the price and...

Worse than a disposable camera!
I purchased the canon powershot s500 digital elph last March. I kept getting blurry pictures so I called Canon technical support. They went through the whole procedure to make sure my camera was all set up. Well I followed their directions but everything was the way it should have been. So they... Read full review »
Great Camera-Compact Size, Good quality photos
This camera is extremely easy to use, very light and compact, just what i needed in a camera! I'm quite disappointed, since the red-eye reduction feature does not work well (or at all), there is no battery-status indicator (it blinks at you for a few seconds and goes dead), and when taking video, I...

Awesome camera for candid children's pics!
After much deliberation between several point and shoot cameras about a year ago, my husband and I finally decided on the S500. We were upgrading from a 3.2 mp to a 5 for taking snapshots of our son, and this was the best choice we could have made!
Our son is now a year old, and we've...

Canon S500 -- Overall, it's a nice camera
We have had good luck with this camera -- this unit more than meets our needs. Have had it for about 4 months. Glad we upgraded.
After I started using this camera, I realized quickly that my small 20GB HD wouldn't last long - Thus, I upgraded to a 200GB. I discovered HD's are pretty cheap...

Great small camera
The S500 is a nice, small, camera. It fits easily in my pants or shirt pocket. It's a solid and rugged design which is good because I can be hard on cameras. We recently purchase a Canon S500 to replace our dated HP 315. The HP315 still takes great photos, it just doesn't have the features of... Read full review »
Not good for motion or night shots! Size is great though!
After about one year of use of my S500 I have come to a few conclusions. First, the size of the camera and ease of use is great! Secondly, the quality of photos shot at night or shots of a moving objects specifically are horrible. I Have gone through every setting on this camera and none of them... Read full review »
A good digital camera for casual use, no manual focus
Update 06/04/2005:
Just wanted to comment that my wife and I went to Hawaii and took over 200 pictures with this camera and ended up printing out about 30 of them. The pictures looked great, including the 2 8x10s that we made. Looked just as good as my film camera prints. We continue to be...

Small thing with great features
Fine look, small size with 5 mega pixel makes it attractive. Digital photography performance is ultimate. Excellent images with superb design make it wonderful. It saves our memories very brightly. Moreover it is very easy to use.

Canon PowerShot S500 5-Megapixel Digital Camera - Why, Canon, Why?
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 Canon went the route they did.
The S500...

Great Camera for the value
Small, compact, takes great photos. Sometimes when taking a picture there can be a delay to focus, but usually it is fine. Read full review »
Fantastic "little" camera
Fantastic little camera, and I mean little! Wonderful features easy to use, what more could you ask out of this little gem. With 5 mega pixels and a short but usable 3x zoom in such a compact design, Canon came up with a winner! Read full review »
Finally got it and it's perfect!
I've been always wanting Canon powershot digital camera's. But to cut cost I've been buying refurbs and other brands. They weren't bad but since lately the price has really been dropping and I've saved some $ on shipping and tax since I buy from out of state, I was able to convince myself to buy a...

Great little thing! Best ELPH I ever had. But not perfect.
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 challenge: Could it replace my old SLR, a Canon... Read full review »
Great Camera all around
The Canon Elph S500 is an excellent camera and is very compact. You will actually be able to put this camera in your pocket with comfort. The camera takes excellent pictures and is very easy to use. The price of this camera is also coming down making it even better. I personally recommend Canon... Read full review »
