     I absolutely love the Canon PowerShot SD500. It's so easy to use a blind person can take excellent pictures. How do I know? I taught my Granddaughter, who is extremely visually challenged, to use it.

     The simplicity of the operations, and the clarity of the icons used to set the exposures (pets, landscape, etc.) were something she see by herself.

    With a little guidance at first, she learned to visually sight and point, check the screen, and then take 3-4 shots so she'd have what she wanted in the camera. Hooking the camera up and downloading to a large computer screen was simple for her. Then, using Adobe PhotoShop, she was able to enlarge and cut the photos easily.

     She earned THREE Girl Scout badges with her flower photography, her digitizing and "painting" of the photos, and her Jean Miro-inspired slide show on PowerPoint. See her photos attached!

     This digital camera and a computer and the world is HERS! She did so well, her parents bought her one for Christmas.
