Pros: Fast, stylish, ultra compact, user friendly, very good image quality, and ISO 50
Cons: Mediocre battery life, red-eye problems, chromatic aberration, and noisy ISO 400 images
The Bottom Line: Canon's new SD500 provides a near perfect balance of excellent image quality, tough as nails durability, ultra-compact size, and intuitive ease of use.
Review: 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

Review: After trying out the 5

Pros: Tiny size, 7.1MP, 3x optical zoom, some manual features, Excellent color accuracy, Improved movie modes
Cons: Weak Flash, Pictures not as sharp as some larger 7 MP cameras, Weak Battery
The Bottom Line: For an ultra-compact camera, this is a very good deal. High quality pictures with manual features although a weak flash and so-so battery life.
Review: 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 ...
Cons: no manual modes, no accessory ring, expensive battery
The Bottom Line: The majority of users will love it and there's enough to keep the "manual mode freaks" occupied.
Review: 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: Very small and portable, fast startup, many shooting modes, high quality photos.
Cons: Low-light photos (skylines, etc) without flash not great.
The Bottom Line: Excellent choice for anyone that needs big camera quality in a tiny package.
Review: 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 ...
Cons: Underpowered flash (common in all ultra compacts)
The Bottom Line: If you're looking at he Sony DSC-P200 and the Canon SD500, I think the Canon is the better camera hands down.
Review: 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: Small size, ease of use, great pictures, good battery life, good video quality
Cons: Slow shutter response, no battery life indicator, body scratches easily.
The Bottom Line: Excellent pictures, high resolution, and ease of use add up to a terrific camera.
Review: 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: Excellent value for the money. Solid feel and great pictures.
Cons: Weak flash. Bit slow on focus sometimes.
The Bottom Line: Canon quality with ease of use gives great pictures.
Review: 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 Bottom Line: Great camera, hard to find anything better at the current price level. Newer canon models don't have as big of flash and seem to be built not as solid.
Review: 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 ...
Cons: you'll need to buy another memory card, average battery life
The Bottom Line: This is a great, flexible, 7mp camera with awesome features.
Review: 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 ...
