CNET Review: 
With the PowerShot S500, Canon brings its time-tested Digital Elph to the ranks of 5-megapixel, 3X-zoom digital cameras. This latest model has its older siblings' sleek, pocket-size chassis and snapshooter ease of use, both of which we still like very much, but the previous Digital Elphs offered slightly better photo quality, and the competition has pulled ahead in terms of features and performance. As a result, the PowerShot S500 ends up being a decent but not outstanding snapshot camera. We consider the Canon PowerShot S500 functionally rather than fashionably attractive, though its matte-silver finish is handsome. The camera feels well built and solid, and its plastic-and-metal body just squeezes into the ultracompact class with shirt-pocket dimensions and an 8-ounce weight (with the battery and the media). The S500's controls are reasonably well distributed around its small body. Their arrangement is logical and provides quick access to the most frequently used features, such as metering, drive-mode selection, and the flash. As with many PowerShot models, pressing the opaquely named Func button calls up a menu dedicated to the more advanced options: exposure compensation, white balance, ISO sensitivity, effects, and image quality. Canon outfitted the PowerShot S500 with basic snapshot features. Its 3X zoom lens has a reasonably fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 to f/4.9 but provides a fairly narrow angle of view over a 36mm-to-108mm range (the 35mm-camera equivalent). Programmed automatic is the sole exposure mode, but applying exposure compensation to plus or minus 2EV is easy. Light sensitivity is either automatic or manual; the selectable ISO settings are 50, 100, 200, and 400. You can pick evaluative, center-weighted, or spot light metering. For white balance, you get an automatic option, five presets, and manual control. The S500 gives you everything you need, but if you want state-of-the-art snapshot features, such as contextual help menus, composition guidelines, and scene program modes, you'll have to look elsewhere. 

The PowerShot S500 can capture JPEG photos at four resolutions and three compression levels, as well as 30-second clips of 640x480-pixel, 10-frame-per-second MJPEG video with sound. This movie mode doesn't compare well with that of some newer cameras, which can record VGA footage for a longer time and at 15fps or even 30fps. Middle-of-last-year's-pack performance detracts slightly from the Canon PowerShot S500's appeal. Start-up takes about 3.5 seconds, and the camera is a tad slow to switch modes and play back images. Shutter lag lasts 0.9 second in good light; a focus-assist lamp helps out in dim conditions to keep the delay at around 1.2 seconds. Shot-to-shot time runs just more than 2 seconds outdoors and stretches a bit past 3 seconds with the flash. In continuous-shooting mode, the S500 fires at about 1.5 frames per second.
