SX500 looks interesting. It does not seem like a direct successor to SX40, more like a different product line, i.e. an ultra-zoom that is more "pocketable". It seems there is no viewfinder, which contributes to the smaller size. I normally don't use viewfinders, so the removal for me would normally be a welcome "addition" (sic), that being said I realize that framing a shot with a 30x zoom without a viewfinder could be difficult.
The lens doesn't look great though - it appears it starts at F3.4. 35mm equiv is probably 24-720 (or 28-840, but I doubt this one).
There seems to be a new shooting mode on the mode dial (both SX500 and SX160) between "P" and "AUTO" - my brain insists it says "LIVE".
Really curious about the specs and dimensions (compared to SX40).
Looks like you got it right. Definitely not a successor to the SX40. Since the price for this one is about the same as the current price for the SX40, why would anyone buy the SX500?
