[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have two on the go - the Canon Ixus 500, which I think is the same camera as the S500 - a terrific little P&S - and a Canon S70, which is altogether a more serious camera - full control, 28-105 zoom, RAW option - and still with CF cards. I love them both. The Ixus is to carry everywhere and anywhere, the S70 to carry when using other film cameras as a digital alternative.

ISO up to 3200, Zoom 36-108mm (equiv.), f 2.8 (tele f 5.0), but unfortunately no Flashcard (xD-Picture card). Didier >I agree that some of the P&S cameras exceed expectations.
