Pros
Fast, small, and great picture clarity.
Cons
No optical zoom and no optical viewfinder.
Recommended it?
Yes
This is my third Canon digital camera. I previously owned the PowerShot S110 and the PowerShot S200. Although this camera lacks an optical zoom, its size and weight more than make up for the lack of this feature.
The camera is small enough to fit comfortably in almost any pocket and its...

Pros
Size, beautiful design, simple to use.
Cons
No viewfinder (and a fragile screen), digital zoom damages picture quality.
Recommended it?

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.
