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.

Pros
Size, looks, weight, large screen, fast operation, pleasing photos, price
Cons
No manual control over aperture or shutter speed, no optical image stabilization

Yes
Since I have always liked Canon Digital Elph cameras (e.g. 6-Megapixel SD600 and the 7.1-Megapixel SD800 IS), I had to see how good the new Canon SD1000 is. The SD1000 is a 7.1-Megapixel camera that is less expensive than the SD700 IS or SD800 IS. Does lower price warrant worse performance and...

Excellent picture quality, great price, lots of features, large screen, ultra compact,...

Little bit of lag with flash, could use image stabilization for low-light zoomed pictures

I have noticed a pattern in the purchasing of electronics in my household. It can only be described by the cliche "when it rains, it pours." My fiance and I will go for periods of several months without making any electronics purchases, only to follow it with an electronics shopping spree. This...
