Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS
$299.99
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Compact design is easy to slip into a pocket or purse. Use is extremely easy, no instructions required. Photos end up big and sharp, look great.
The Cons:Takes a long time for an image to save properly, can't take multiple photos quickly. Zoom doesn't have much of a range. Flash isn't effective outdoors, doesn't work in all contexts.
The Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS is a touch-enabled compact digital camera announced in February 2010. Like its peers, the ELPH 100 HS and ELPH 300 HS, the ELPH 500 HS camera offers 12.1 still image capture and 1080p HD video shooting.

Unlike them, however, the Canon ELPH 500 hosts a touchscreen panel for focusing and navigating the menu with the swipe of a finger. Also included is a 24mm wide-angle, 4.4x optical zoom lens. The biggest upgrade on the ELPH 500 is the Smart AUTO system, a new Canon technology that can automatically adjust all photo/video settings based on what scene is chosen (32 available).
