tj109604 says "Awesome Camera" about Canon - PowerShot SD500

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!

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...

paswine says "easy to use and economical" about Canon - PowerShot SD500

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.

celestialstar03 says "This camera is my second arm, I'm in love." about Canon - PowerShot SD500

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. The detail on the macro and micro is terrific, I take alot of florals and it gets every detail. It also takes quick pictures of my fast son and our dog and is versatile in all lighting. It comes with alot of nice software for fixing your photos and cataloging them. The panoramic feature is hard to figure out but worth it. I love this camera, and if I had the choice I wouldn't change over to a new one.

milesruby says "Whata great little camera!" about Canon - PowerShot SD500

I've been using a Pentax 35mm for over 20 years and really miss the feel and shutter speed of it, but really enjoy the convenience of taking as many pictures as I want without worry. It's fun to have the instant image as well and the pictures that I've had printed from it are a very good quality. But I find that I print less pictures and rely more on the computer and websites to view and share photos. It is fairly easy to opearte and downlaod pictures as well and I love that I can hook it up to my tv and view the pictures or movies there as well. But there is something lost when I don't have the anticipation of picking up my pictures and viewing them for the first time before I even leave the counter. So what we gain in technology we lose in experience....
