Professional Reviews of the Canon S500
- 4.9 out of 5
This pro reviewer is very impressed with the Canon PowerShot S500. Despite the camera's tiny size, users can still control ISO, white balance, and shutter time, giving them a fair amount of creative control. Image quality is excellent. read original review

This joint review of the Canon PowerShot S400 and S500 concludes that they are both very good cameras, but not the industry leaders that previous digital ELPHs were. The S500's image quality is very good, but the lack of preset scene modes and limited video recording time lower its score. Despite their similarities, the S410 delivers better macro performance than the S500. read original review
