From the Manufacturer Experience the Power.Canon's HS SYSTEM with a 12.1 Megapixel CMOS and DIGIC 4 Image Processor improves shooting in low-light situations without the need for a flash and lowers noise levels at higher ISO settings. The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low light shooting. The system delivers clear, blur-free shots with all the ambiance intact, and frees you from the sometimes unwanted effects of using the flash. Beautiful low light shots are possible at both low and high ISO speeds, and the dynamic range is expanded to retain maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.The system is the result of two technologies brought together in a compact PowerShot. The first is the 12.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS SYSTEM is Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and delivers high speed image processing. Memorable Moments in Spectacular Full HD.Full 1080p HD Video for exceptional quality with stereo sound, plus a dedicated movie button for easy access. Zoom optically while shooting video and keep footage stabilized with Dynamic IS. Get the Shot You Want with Just a Touch.A large 3.2-inch touch panel LCD offers easy and intuitive operation.

Sometimes, the action just won't stop for you.

For photography enthusiasts, the ability to control aperture and shutter speed is key. The Aperture- and Shutter-priority modes on the Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS digital camera make it easy for anyone to take extra control over the look and feel of images captured. In Aperture-priority mode, you set the aperture and the camera automatically selects an appropriate shutter speed.

Putting together a video containing highlights from family vacations, important occasions and other special events is now easier than you might imagine. Using the Movie Digest Mode, you can have the camera automatically record a short video clip (up to approximately 4 seconds) every time you shoot a still image. The camera will then combine an entire day's worth of clips into a single video. No editing required – Movie Digest Mode does all the work, so you can sit back and enjoy your video!

    • LOVE my new camera!
Color: Silver
I love this camera! I wanted a higher end point and shoot camera that could keep up with my kids and do well in low light. I read a lot of reviews and settled on this one. I thought about the ELPH 300hs but decided I was too used to using the touch screen on my Sony Cybershot to go back to buttons. I love the touch screen! The menus are well laid out and it is easy to find things. I was a little worried it would take me awhile to figure out the Canon menus since I have been a Sony user for so long, but I am not having any trouble at all! I am having fun trying out all of the programs/effects on the camera. The Kids and Pets setting is just what I was looking for. My kids don't sit still for me to take pictures and now I can just snap pictures of them on the go without the picture being too blurry. After reading reviews I was worried about battery life. I decided to buy and extra battery since we had a big wedding we were going to and I didn't want my camera to die before the day was done. Turns out I wouldn't have needed the extra battery. I still have the first battery in after taking 150 pictures and a few short videos. Another thing I love is that there isn't much delay between pressing the button and the actual capturing of the picture (this was a big frustration with my previous camera). The only thing I noticed is that with moving subjects and in low light you really have to make sure to give the camera time to focus by holding the button halfway down for a second or two before snapping the picture. I had great luck with this camera in low light. I snapped some really awesome pictures on the dance floor at the wedding. I was even able to shoot a little video on the dance floor. When I tried that with my old camera it turned out almost black, but with this camera I got a great video of my 3 year old dancing. I have only had this camera for a week, but I haven't found any area where this camera has let me down yet. I am excited to keep experimenting with some of the programs and effects I haven't gotten to use yet. Bottom line....Great camera! UPDATE: I lost my ELPH 500 HS while we were on vacation (a long sad story). I needed a new camera fast so I went to Best Buy and they only had the ELPH 300 HS and nothing else was really close to the quality I wanted at the price I wanted so I bought it. The 300 has pretty much the same functions as the 500 and still takes great pictures. But I would take my 500 back any day! The touch screen makes it so much simpler to navigate through the menus and change settings quickly. I don't think the microphone is as good on the 300 because a couple of my videos are hard to hear. It seems a little slower to focus and snap a picture, but maybe it is all in my head. One problem I noticed is that my photo editing software (I use Picasa) would automatically pick up the red eye on photos with my 500 but on the 300 I have to manually select the area to change it. The 300 looks cooler than the 500 and is a little smaller, but I loved the large screen on the 500 and you don't get that with the 300 since they had to make room for all the buttons. Bottom line in my opinion: Spend the extra $70 and go for the 500 - it is worth it. ... show more

    • A high-end, compact, touch-screen point-and-shoot that won't disappoint!
Color: Silver
I've recently jumped into the high-end point-and-shoot market, and have done extensive research on which camera gave the best bang for the buck. A rough criteria of what I was looking for is as follows: - Sharp and vivid 1080p video quality - Good stereo recording quality when shooting video - Great picture quality (including low-light conditions) - Excellent macro ability - Touch screen (for more control over auto-focusing) I'm happy to say that once I received the 500 HS, it met every one of my expectations and exceeded them. The camera is compact and light enough so that carrying it with me everyday is a pleasure. The picture quality is unmatched in this size and price category. Even though the 500 HS has a small (standard 1/2.3" back-illuminated CMOS) sensor, the picture quality produced approaches that of larger sensor point-and-shoots, like the S95. Artifacts are virtually non-existent, and only appear in very very low-light scenarios or zoomed pictures, as expected. The 500 HS has an auto mode that is very suitable in most situations and produces beautifully composed pictures, but the camera also has available manual settings in "P" mode if you want more control. Also, it takes the 500 HS a mere 2 seconds to start up and be ready for the first shot. The response time between shots is also very quick. The 1080p video quality is also very nice. There was no visible lag when playing back video that included fast panning and fast moving objects. The sound captures all of the sounds too, without including too much of unwanted ambient noise. The camera also auto-focuses and has the ability to zoom during video capture. The features included will pretty much overwhelm any user. I will skip out on describing each in detail, as every mode can be found online. But I will point out that the only thing the 500 HS is "lacking" is an automated panorama mode that seems to be so popular recently. Though, panorama mode is something that I wasn't really looking for or needing, as I believe if I were to want to take a panorama picture, I might as well be taking a Full HD video anyway. The touch screen is phenomenal. It covers the entire backside of the camera, and the only physical button on the backside is the playback button, located on the bottom right. This large 460K-dot 3.2" screen provides you with a sharp and clear view of all of your pictures/videos. At times, when your hands are excessively wet or oily, the touchscreen might not respond as well as you'd like, but the rest of the time, the touchscreen handles perfectly. The best part of a touchscreen camera, as I mentioned earlier, is that it gives you the option to bias focus towards a certain object/area on-screen. You just tap your finger on whatever you want to bias the focus towards, and it will track/auto-focus according to where you've touched on-screen. This is something that most non-touchscreen cameras can't do, unless it has manual focus like the S95, which adds extra bulk. So I find that the touchscreen focus is a good compromise between those 2 extremes. It is lightweight, though can focus accurately when you need it to be. I also love the wide-angle lens that the 500 HS provides. Macro shots come out stunningly composed, and rival those produced by entry-level DSLR's. So if you're in the market for a decently priced, high-end, compact point-and-shoot jammed full of features, I would whole-heartedly recommend the 500 HS to you (also known as the IXUS 310 overseas). ... show more
