Conclusion
The 7.1-megapixel Canon PowerShot SD500 follows in the tradition of the Digital ELPH line with its compact size and stylish look. However, this model gets a slight makeover with its rounded edges. The added comfort is a welcome feature to the ELPH series, which is known for its flat, sharp surfaces. The SD500 also adds other features that are debuting in the compact line. A custom self-timer lets users choose a time delay between 1-30 seconds. A series of digital color filters, as well as color accents and even a color swap are available. Six scene modes highlight the automatic settings. Full resolution video can be captured at 30 frames per second as well as the inclusion of a 60 fps Fast Frame Rate movie feature. There is an Underwater scene mode available, matching the optional underwater housing, so the tiny camera can venture into the ocean. Canon will sell its PowerShot SD500 for a retail price of $499.99 when it ships in March.
