a great, fast little camera June 26, 2009
A few years ago, i needed a small digital camera for school and work. I selected the SD500 mostly because it was on sale at the time, but i'm very glad it's what i ended up with.
The one way in which this camera absolutely outperforms every other digital camera i've used is speed. Many other cameras wait a second or two between pressing the button and actually taking the picture. This is terrible when photographing anything mobile. With the SD500, barring low light conditions which require extra time, it really is point-and-shoot. The lag time between pictures is also lower than i'd come to expect based on other cameras.
Overall, i'm extremely happy with the resolution, zoom, and all features of this camera. Every once in a while i play with the extras, the color-sync and such, but mostly i just use this camera to take normal pictures.
I've docked one star from what would otherwise be a 5-star rating because of some physical issues. First, every once in a while, when i turn the camera on, the lens extends but the cover only opens part of the way. Usually turning the camera off and back on again resolves this. Second, after a year or two of gentle use, the case is starting to separate a little bit. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, but i worry that it'll get worse.
 Had this camera for several years! March 21, 2009
I bought this camera when it was just released and I have to say that years later it still works perfectly. It is now March 2009.
The only complaints I have had about it is that I couldn't shoot action shots at night, like fireworks and such. This might be some setting that I was unable to find, but I did look and never was able to fix it. Always had the blur effect to those kinds of pictures.
I also most definitely suggest you buy an additional battery and a bigger SD card, the one it comes with is trash. Much much too small. I just bought the 1GB and it was more than enough for me.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it other than the possible night setting that I was unable to find. It still looks brand new even. Great camera- I recommend you get this camera if you want an older, cheap, or used camera.
Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital Elph December 19, 2008
What? Stuff
The Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital Elph is the finest of all digital subcompacts. I bought mine for $10. Last Thanksgiving this little beauty was the life of the party. Perhaps the prettiest camera ever made. Rugged and dependable. Everyone regards this little gem with reverence and respect. As you can see from my photos, the red comes through much more accurately than most other cameras.

I'll keep it short. This thing is so counterintuitive and difficult to use...It just sucks. The battery goes out so fast that even with a back-up battery in my case I am always out of juice with it. I could never recommend this camera. Make another choice. Peace
A Review After 3 Years! July 5, 2008
I purchased this camera in late June 2005 in hopes of having it to replace my Canon SD30 (3MP, first digital camera) on a trip to Switzerland. Well, the camera didn't arrive in time, but I wish it did. The camera was the best I'd ever used and I was awed by all the new features. I irritated everyone at work constantly taking photos using the color swap and color accents. This is the greatest feature I've seen and my only regret is going through my pictures over the years and not using those features enough.
I immediately put a screen protector on the LCD, so I didn't have any problems there. Unfortunately during a day of puppy kindergarten, I forgot about the keys and change in my pocket and slipped my brand new camera in with them. After the initial shock, I saw the tiny scratches as "war scars" and soon disregarded it.
Start-up time was amazing. I was always ready to shoot upon pressing the power button. I was even able to put my own personal picture on the startup screen so I wouldn't have to look at the generic "birdy" or "Powershot" name. I am sure I could have put my own startup music on there also, but I never took the time to try it. I did it for my Canon SD30, though, so I'm sure it was possible.
My other regrets in picture taking was not taking the highest setting possible. I don't render my pictures immediately, so sometimes months later when I'm editing Christmas pics, I'll see a nice photo that could have been blown up and sent to my family.
The best thing I loved about this camera was its battery life. I can probably count on my hands the number of times I had to recharge the battery. I NEVER lost battery life during a trip or photo event, although most of my trips were 2-4 day weekends. Still, this camera handled any type of pressure I threw its way. I hope my upgrade to the Canon SD950 does all of the SD500's capabilities and more.
So why am I upgrading? Well, I love photography, even though I rarely have the time to really do it as a bonified hobby. I also love gadgets and upgrade electronics. I'm going to finally start taking great photos and the Canon SD950 will take me there! But in no way is it because the SD500 was lacking for anything.
