The Canon SD500 is a lot like an SD-card based version of the prior PowerShot S500 in Canon's popular, diminutive Digital ELPH camera line. The Powershot SD500 is the first Canon digicam to exceed 1-megapixel per ounce, packing a 7.1-megapixel CCD into a diminutive body weighing only 6 ounces. The uncomplicated user interface and smooth styling helps novices and more advanced amateurs alike feel at home, with enough control over the exposure to make both happy. Although exposure control is mainly automatic, the availability of exposure times as long as 15 seconds and adjustable ISO increases the camera's exposure versatility a great deal. All in all, one of the better subcompact digital cameras currently on the market.
