      Digital Cameras - Canon PowerShot S500 Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications

      Review summary: The quality and versatility of the ELPH series has impressed me from the start, and the 5.0-megapixel S500 doesn't disappoint. The camera's tiny size makes it a travel worthy companion, and the range of features give the camera an edge over many point ...

      Canon USA Powershot S500 Digital Camera Camera

      By Paul Jasper

      Review summary: The latest addition to Canon's popular pocket-size Digital Elph line, the $499 Canon PowerShot S500 retains its predecessors' elegantly designed, pocket-size format but adds 5-megapixel resolution.

      Verdict: You may need a little time to get used to the S500's dual menu system (now standard on most Canon point-and-shoot digital cameras), but you should soon grow accustomed to their logical organization and find them easy to navigate. Our one quibble with ...

      Canon PowerShot S500 Digital ELPH: Canon PowerShot S410 / S500 Digital ELPH

      By Jeff Keller

      Review summary: So there you have it. I decided to use the S500 as the "model" in the review -- so the photo above is the only place you'll see the S410. Aside from the color of the ring around the lens, they are identical.

      Pros: Very good photo quality ; Small, beautiful metal body ; Very fast performance ; Good burst modes (esp. the S500) ; AF-assist lamp ; VGA movie mode (S500 only), although limited compared to competition ; Excellent bundle ; Optional underwater case

      Cons: Redeye ; Flimsy plastic doors over battery/memory card compartments ; Sluggish frame rates, recording time limits in movie mode ; Scene modes would be nice

      Verdict: Regardless of the speed of the card, you'll find that 32MB is a decent starter size, but you'll definitely want a larger card soon after you get going with the S410 or S500. I recommend a 128MB card for the S410, and a 256MB card for the S500
