Canon Digital Ixus 500 ... stylish, high performance digital photography, the Digital IXUS 500 delivers quality prints up to A3 size. With a super hard Cerabrite finish, this flagship of the IXUS range brings together uncompromising build quality and an abundance of integrated technologies in a triumph of miniaturization.

A 3x optical zoom culminates 60 years of Canon optical heritage to deliver crisp, corner-to-corner clarity. A 3x optical zoom (12.3x combined) offers a wide angle of coverage, while the 9-point AiAF ensures accurate focusing, even with off-center subjects.

High performance demands plenty of processing power - which is why the Digital IXUS 500 incorporates Canon's dedicated DIGIC processor. DIGIC delivers superb image quality at high speed with less drain on the battery for extended performance.

iSAPS is a hidden photographer's assistant, instantly analyzing the scene and making adjustments even before the shutter release is pressed. iSAPS optimizes exposure, white balance and auto-focus settings in every shooting situation for consistently brilliant results.

An Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images before playback. Movie mode allows up to 3-minute movie clips (30 seconds in VGA mode) with sound recording, playback and 'in-camera' editing. Auto mode is perfect for 'point and shoot' situations, while Manual mode puts you in creative control. An optional waterproof case protects your IXUS to a depth of 40m.

The camera prints directly to all PictBridge or Canon Direct Print compatible printers. Create beautiful, instant photo prints by connecting camera to printer and pushing the Print/Share button, which also speeds up online sharing to any Windows PC. When used with a Canon Compact Photo Printer, you can print ID photos, or a series of movie clip frames.

With Canon's ZoomBrowser EX (for Windows) and ImageBrowser (for Macintosh) you can arrange albums, crop photographs and adjust image contrast and brightness.

 ... Art student and artist in London, and so reliability of quality is a must if I'm to use this camera to take photos that represent me in the art world. This is a camera that I can trust. It's not made just to look pretty and so it isn't tiny in size but instead takes into account just what is needed for superior picture quality and not qimmicky nonsense. Because of this, it is really very sturdy - having dropped it so many times and it still working shows that! Also, it doesn't take long to understand all the...more

Premium Review Canon Digital Ixus 500: Canon IXUS 500 perfect for art projects (263 words)

I bought the Canon IXUS 500 having had the previous model, Canon IXUS 400, for a while, and though I thought the IXUS 400 was great quality I didn't expect there to be much room for improvement, but there was. It uses the same physical design as the rest of the series but its photographic capabilities are superb and have been improved rather nicely. I am not just an amateur photographer - in fact I am a Fine Art student and artist in London, and so reliability of quality is a must if I'm to use this camera to take photos that represent me in the art world.
