Opinion: no coments
Opinion: Small, pocketable and very good quality prints, new My Colors function
Good:
1. All the functionalites from SD200 and SD300
2. 7.1 mp sensor gives very good quality prints on Canon Pixma printers
3. Excellent VGA 640x480 30fps video mode
4. New My Colors function gives good filter effects
5. Stylish and pocketable at less than 200g
6. Longer battery life than other Digital ELPHs
Problems: Optical zoom can be 4X, lack of aperture priority mode
Bad:
1. No aperture priority mode
2. Optical zooms still at 3X
3. No MPEG4 support
4. 7 MP on small CCD 1/1.8'
Opinion: Excellent camera and will be my replacement for the S45 I own. It is much faster in shooting and focusing, and the image quality is excellent.
Problems: I was excited about having a camera that can do 640x480 at 30fps, but at least in mine, I've got a pretty noticeable high pitched whine in the audio that is recorded. The video quality is excellent, the audio leaves a lot to be desired. However, since this is mostly a camera for still shooting, I may decide to live with it.
Opinion: I bought the SD300 two weeks after it came out...bought this SD500 the day BEFORE it came out. Phenominal camera, excellent photos, flawless construction, sturdy and beautiful body. The My Colors feature is like having Photoshop built-in. Video seems even better than the SD300. I was thrilled the moment I opened the box.
Problems: Only problem I have encountered (reason I gave a 4.5 in image quality) is a slight problem with some noise at ISO 400 when printing 8.5X11's
Cons:
Limited adjustment of some manual functions like F-stop and shutterspeed...but hey its smaller than most cellphones and print phenominal fullpage photos...
