Beware of battery life
( - 2/15/06)This is a nice little camera. But one problem to be aware of: You have to actually shoot a photo before the camera will tell you if the battery is low. This can be a real pain unless you enjoy finding out you have a low battery when you're five to 10 miles from home. Most cameras will tell you a battery's life when you click it on not the SD500. So, before you go out the door, click off a picture or you'll be sorry.
