  • excellent photo quality for its class and a nice mix of shooting modes
Cons:
  • The 500 HS's touch interface is potentially frustrating and its shooting performance is a little slow

Great value; hope to learn to be a better photographer.

So far this camera has exceeded my expectations. Going from my last Sony to this Canon has been a big advance for me. The touch screen is something else and no need for a view finder. Hope it lasts through a million shots. Time will tell!

Pros:
  • Video recording
Cons:
  • nothing
