Canon - PowerShot SD500 Reviews

     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...

Let me say I adore this camera. There are so many features it is unreal, you will definitely want your manual but if you just don't read like me you can still figure it out. I have had this for about a year and a half, I have taken over 3000 pictures with it and never been dissatisfied. You will need a steady hand or tripod for some of the features.

It comes with alot of nice software for fixing your photos and...

This camera is small, easy-to-use, and economical. Very important for me, it has a viewfinder. I can't see an LCD screen without my reading glasses and, if I wear my reading glasses, I can't see what I'm taking a picture of. So having a viewfinder that allows me to see the picture without my reading glasses is critical.

Pictures are of excellent quality, capable of being reproduced at a commercial quality level.

Manual is easy to read and the functions are quite simple to understand.

I purchased this camera in 2005.  This camera is awesome!  Back then there highest megapix were 500.  Today as you know there's many more!  The picture quality is great... to me, it equals whats out there today.   The only problem is...  I now love the larger screen in which they make now.  And also, when you take picture, you have to be very still....  other than take...  I would totally recommend this camera to anyone!
