We were bowled over by Canon's compact cameras last year. Judging by the Ixus 500 HS, the company isn't resting on its laurels. We first saw this model in January under its american designation of Canon PowerShot ELPH 520 HS at CES in Las Vegas, but it...
The slim, sumptuous design and 12x zoom lens are a great combination, but other cameras beat it for image quality...

Canon’s IXUS range of pocket point and shoot cameras has always been as much about form as function - an approach that sets it apart from the parallel PowerShot family that concentrates more on function than form. By way of an unofficial celebration o...

You’re paying around £100 extra for the glossy good looks here, battery life is modest, microSD storage is small and fiddly, backplate button small and operational layout confusing at first...
Unapologetically fashion conscious IXUS goes retro with its boxy styling, but squeezes in an 12x optical zoom to ensure it’s not just a pretty fascia. Priced at a premium however because of it...

What the Canon IXUS 500 HS possesses in the looks it more than matches it with regards to performance. Considering that the camera is packing a 12x optical zoom, start-up times are assuringly prompt and you'll go from power off to ready to shoot in a matt...

The Canon Ixus 500 HS is a very compact 12X-optical-zoom camera designed for casual shooters. It doesn't perform at the level we're used to seeing in Canon's cameras, and its MicroSD slot and lack of manual controls may give prospective buyers pause...

On the outside the Canon PowerShot Elph 520 HS ($299.99 direct) is a gorgeous super-slim camera—our review unit may be the bluest piece of consumer electronics that I've ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, it incorporates some serious compromises to ac...
