Canon Digital Camera - The
Sd500
In the world of digital photography you can't get better that in
combination cameras. Regular digital cameras are becoming less
attractive, with the rise of the newer all-in-one digital cameras.
These cameras often do many things other than just taking photos,
recording video, and playing music. This applies to the Canon
digital camera models. In an effort to show this fantastic
technology, this article will be examining one such combination
digital cameras.
Compact and easy to use, the Canon SD500 is a convenient
point-and-shoot digital camera with enhanced features for added
flexibility. It's a combination of 4 primary devices: a 7.1
megapixel digital camera, a camcorder, an MP3 player, and a voice
recorder, all in a sleek design that weighs very little. There is a
useful swivel lens that offers a quick and easy way to take self
portraits at any time and the menu system is accessed by way of a
small orange track ball that makes flipping between layouts easy.
Almost the same size as the PowerShot S500 model, the new Canon
PowerShot SD500 has great looks and sharp design - what Canon calls
the 'Perpetual Curve Design'.
This fantastic camera has a 7.1 megapixel CCD and includes a
ten-second self-timer; many colors, a macro mode, a built-in flash,
and that unusual swivel lens. A four times zoom gives you focusing
power comparable to any camera. With its 7.1-megapixel CCD, the
Canon SD500 produces quality photographs, suitable for making sharp
prints as large as 11x17 inches. Smaller image sizes are useful for
emailing or Web applications.
This camera's image processing system produces deep and error
free images in resolutions of up to 1600x1200.
The camcorder feature on the Canon Digital sd500 is reliable,
allowing one you to take movies of over one minute at 15 frames per
second. Videos are already coded in QuickTime and can be
immediately transferred to your PC and then e-mailed with the
included cable. All movies are editable using QuickTime Pro and
updatable using Windows-compatible applications or converted to AVI
files.
The sd500 plays sound in WMA, ACC and the more usual MP3 format.
The voice recorder function continues provided there is sufficient
memory available. The Canon Digital sd500 is a striking blend of
technology and features available at a surprisingly modest
cost.
