One of the digital imaging revolution's most fascinating high-tech product developments was the ultra compact digital camera. Canon has dominated that very popular marketing niche since the first micro-cams hit store shelves and the new Canon Powershot SD500 continues that tradition. The SD500...

My brother got lucky for his birthday... he's getting a new iPod Mini from me and a brand spanking new SD500 from my parents. Now he has stuff to make me a bit envious of him in the world of high tech... including his new Infiniti G35. Well, he worked hard for it.

Simple to use, Great photos, Auto mode does a great job
Cons
Slight shutter lag, Trouble taking clear photos in low light
Recommended it?
Yes
I have always had good experiences with Canon cameras and the Canon PowerShot SD1200 is no exception. This 10-megapixel camera is small, lightweight, very easy to use and produces some really great pictures. The only downside is that like a lot of Canon point-and-shoot cameras, there is a...

Cons
Slightly blurry corners, no manual control over aperture or shutter speed
