Canon PowerShot Elph 500 HS review

If the idea of an almost-all-touchscreen camera appeals to you, the Canon PowerShot Elph 500 HS is one of the best point and shoot options in that class. But it's becoming clear that touchscreen-operated cameras are a significantly different beast than traditional cameras with similar specs.
Pros:
  • 3.2-inch touchscreen with good UI
  • Fun shooting modes
  • including 240fps video capture
  • F2.0 lens with aperture priority mode
  • Very good image and video quality
Cons:
  • Touchscreen menus add a few steps
  • Subpar battery life

I don't love this camera

Good...not great! slow shutter, difficult navigation It's not easy to use at all... it has been dropped a time or two and everything seems to be intact. great size and weight. Maybe it's that me and the touch screen can't get along. I can never seem to get this camera to do what I want when i want.
