    best digital

    By miltowngurl  Oct 5, 2006

    Pros: size, ease of use, picture quality, long battery life

    Cons: low light setting blurs at times

    This is the BEST digital camera I have ever owned! It is compact, has numerous features, very long battery life, produces high quality pictures and is so easy to use. The controls on the camera and the menus are self-explanatory. You can plug the cam...era into a PC or MAC and upload photos without software. The only thing I don't like about this camera is if the nightlow light setting is used, the photos sometimes come out blurred. A larger memory card will also need to be purchased because the one that comes with this camera is very small. When used with the factory settings for photos (large, high-res), the memory will be gone in no time! I would suggest playing around with the settings and maybe going to a medium resolution. This camera outperforms the Sony Cybershot it replaced by a landslide! Read more Less

    Great Camera

    By Sneha  Aug 8, 2006

    Pros: Everything...

    Cons: Nothing...

    It took me a while to go out and buy a digital camera. I had a Canon ELPH before and was really happy with it. So when I decided to buy a digital camera, I knew I wanted to go with Canon once again. Best idea yet, the pictures come out soo great some...times, I feel as if I'm a natural photographer. Great quality, good settings, not that hard to use. I don't really play around with it much, just change the color settings, and upload the pictures to my computer. It's soo easy to use, I'm soo glad I bought this camera. I wonder how I survived without this before. Read more Less

    Quick Review Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH Camera

    New to the line is its sleekly-sculpted, curving body design. When it comes to picture taking, while actual exposure control remains automatic, the ability to adjust ISO, White Balance, and access longer shutter times significantly increases the camera's shooting range. Read more
