Canon Digital - Point and Shoots

Reviews

The PowerShot SD500's 7.1 Megapixel CCD delivers images with a level of detail that is absolutely riveting. The powerful 3x optical zoom provides plenty of close-up excitement with a focal length equivalent to 37-111mm in a 35mm film camera. The camera's graceful perpetual curve design, a first in digital cameras, fits your hand as perfectly as it expresses the camera's stature above the competition.
