The Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH
(aka Digital IXUS 700 in the UK) is an
ultracompact JeansPocket™
Certified digital camera with a sleek new
“Perpetual Curve Design” stainless steel
body. It continues Canon’s tradition of providing
top-tier imaging technology in a ultra- slim,
ultra-compact, easy-to-use package.
The Canon SD500 has 7.1 megapixels resolution,
3x optical zoom, a F2.8 maximum aperture, and
a shutter speed range of 15-1/2,000 sec. There
is a large 2 in. LCD with 118,000 pixels resolution
with a new Night Display Function that automatically
brightens the subject in order to make framing
a shot in dusk, night or other lowlight situations
easier.
The Canon SD500 allows you to shoot a clip of
640x480 movie at 30fps until the SD memory card
is full; or shoot 1 min. clips of 320x240 at 60fps!
Take night pictures with a long shutter speed
of 15 sec., and new Scene Modes automate exposure
settings for 9 different shooting situations.
The Canon SD500 has an AF Assist Illuminator
to aid in obtaining focus in low-light conditions.
The Intelligent Orientation Sensor not only rotates
vertical shots automatically, it now wakes up
the cameras from sleep mode by detecting movement
when the camera is picked up.
Canon’s new “My Color” technology
allows colors to be enhanced in camera and you
can save both the original still image and the
enhanced color versions as separate files on the
Canon SD500 Memory Card.

take-anywhere digital camera, check out the Canon
Powershot SD500 Digital ELPH.
