Re: Powershot sx500 IS

Disclaimer: I'm an SX40 owner.

The SX500 is not a successor to the SX40. The SX50 is the SX40's successor, just announced last week.

The SX500 is a stripped-down version of the SX40, IMHO. No viewfinder, different sensor, older processor. No articulated LCD, either. I wouldn't buy this camera, personally. I would recommend that you get the SX40, if you're in a hurry to buy - it's a great camera. And the SX40 is selling for about $30 less than the SX500, right now.

But if you want the extra zoom, wait and see what the SX50 has to offer. In the next few weeks, we should start to see lots of sample images and reviews, to see whether it's as good as its specs.
