      Review summary: Announced on the 9th Feb 2004 - the Canon Digital IXUS 500, also known as Canon PowerShot S500 and the IXY Digital 500, is available for £239 / $329 - the Canon Digital IXUS 500 is a compact 5 megapixel digital camera, with a 3x optical zoom lens ...

      Pros: Excellent 'Canon' Colour ; Excellent image quality (very good detail) ; Very fast continous shooting mode that lets you use flash ; Very good macro mode ; Good size ; Good build quality ; Auto-rotates images
