This is a great camera. My wife is taking pics all the time and the quality is very good considering the camera is over 2 years old (ancient in terms of technology). It recently broke and we had it repaired by Canon for around $120. If would not have cost much more to replace it, but my wife feels that it is so easy to use, she didn't want to take the chance on a new model.

A few years ago, i needed a small digital camera for school and work. I selected the SD500 mostly because it was on sale at the time, but i'm very glad it's what i ended up with.
The one way in which this camera absolutely outperforms every other digital camera i've used is speed. Many other cameras wait a second or two between pressing the button and actually taking the picture. This is terrible when photographing anything mobile. With the SD500, barring low light conditions which require extra time, it really is point-and-shoot. The lag time between pictures is also lower than i'd come to expect based on other cameras.
Overall, i'm extremely happy with the resolution, zoom, and all features of this camera. Every once in a while i play with the extras, the color-sync and such, but mostly i just use this camera to take normal pictures.
I've docked one star from what would otherwise be a 5-star rating because of some physical issues. First, every once in a while, when i turn the camera on, the lens extends but the cover only opens part of the way. Usually turning the camera off and back on again resolves this. Second, after a year or two of gentle use, the case is starting to separate a little bit. It doesn't seem to affect the performance, but i worry that it'll get worse.

I bought this camera when it was just released and I have to say that years later it still works perfectly. It is now March 2009.
The only complaints I have had about it is that I couldn't shoot action shots at night, like fireworks and such. This might be some setting that I was unable to find, but I did look and never was able to fix it. Always had the blur effect to those kinds of pictures.
I also most definitely suggest you buy an additional battery and a bigger SD card, the one it comes with is trash. Much much too small. I just bought the 1GB and it was more than enough for me.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it other than the possible night setting that I was unable to find. It still looks brand new even. Great camera- I recommend you get this camera if you want an older, cheap, or used camera.

What? Stuff
The Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital Elph is the finest of all digital subcompacts. I bought mine for $10. Last Thanksgiving this little beauty was the life of the party. Perhaps the prettiest camera ever made. Rugged and dependable. Everyone regards this little gem with reverence and respect. As you can see from my photos, the red comes through much more accurately than most other cameras.

I'll keep it short. This thing is so counterintuitive and difficult to use...It just sucks. The battery goes out so fast that even with a back-up battery in my case I am always out of juice with it. I could never recommend this camera. Make another choice. Peace
