Product ReviewsCanon PowerShot Digital ELPH S500 / Digital IXUS 500 5.0MP Digital Camera - Silver

Best small Digital camera for the price.

Everything you would want in a digital camera, great photos, videos and sound in a 2.0 x 3.5 x 1.0 package. This is the third Canon Power Shot Elph we have owned and I use it in preference over my full size Canon due to its small size. With its wrist strap there is no need for a bulky camera bag as you need with a full size camera. If necessary it will fit in a shirt pocket when not in use.Read full review...

I'd buy one for myself.

I bought this camera for my daughter when her SD1000 was damaged. It's thicker than a normal PowerShot. I have an SD400 and the 1000 is the same size.

When it arrived in the mail I was disappointed at first. It does have some features that the smaller PSs don't. I gave it to my daughter before I had explored everything that was different.

A telephoto lens that is much more powerful than the smaller cameras, a function for taking seamless landscape photos and if may have had more.Read full review...

Good things come in little packages!

This little camera arrived perfectly packaged in the original box complete with all the manuals, software and factory service certification. I tested it and was delighted at the ease of use but more importantly the sharp, crisp, accurate color of the final images. The video is a bit jerky and not great but it can capture the moment anyway don't dare put it on a big screen TV. I bought this for a purse camera for my fiance and the metal case and automatic lens cover is a big plus. To sum up, an excellent buy and great images after learning the settings on this stylish high quality Canon camera.Read full review...

My Canon S500 (S410)

My Canon S500 bit the dust (focus guit working) so I went on E-bay and find any good ones so I switched to S400 & S410 which were the same features but 1 less megapixel. If it wasn't for ebay I would be out of luck. They don't sell cameras with the features and quality, which for me has to include an 'eye piece' for viewing the old way. Especially in bright day light. I think the next model SD100 is one of the last like this. I bought one from Canon on an offer to replace my old S500 with SD1000 for $100 instead of repair.
Without E-Bay I don't think I would still have a small "Point & Shoot" Camera of such quality. Thank's, E-bay.

Easy to use

It`s a small and powerfull camera. Easy to use, many functions, internal batery, turn on quickly.

I use many cameras but i prefer this camera.

used digital canon IXUS 500, 5.0 mp camera

The camera has a defective feature and lens related quality issue that was not clarified. It works but not good for any picture takaing you would care to keep or print for your photo album. I will have to purchase one that is in much better shape.Read full review...
