With an almost glacial, cough sweet-inspired sheen to the maroon camera we tested - blue, black or silver being the alternatives - the 10.1 megapixel Canon IXUS 500 HS is deeply fashionable.

Canon IXUS 500 HS
Canon's IXUS range of pocket point and shoot cameras has always been as much about form as function - an approach that sets it apart from the parallel PowerShot family that concentrates more on function than form.
Pros:
- Well built
- pocket sized and stylish in appearance
- decent sized screen
- Full HD video
- HDMI output
Cons:
- You're paying around ￡100 extra for the glossy good looks here
- battery life is modest
- microSD storage is small and fiddly
- backplate button small and operational layout confusing at first

Canon Ixus 500 HS review
We were bowled over by Canon's compact cameras last year. Judging by the Ixus 500 HS, the company isn't resting on its laurels. We first saw this model in January under its american designation of Canon PowerShot ELPH 520 HS at CES in Las Vegas, but it's been baffingly rebranded for its European...
