Canon PowerShot S500 - 5.0 MegaPixels Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Model: Canon_S500 (Factory-Reconditioned) Utilizing the same CCD sensor as is found on the top-rated PowerShot S50 and G5 model digital cameras, the five megapixel PowerShot S500 Digital Elph captures JPEG images in SuperFine, Fine and Normal resolution modes and is also the first model in its class to offer 640 x 480 movie recording at ten frames per second for up to 30 seconds per clip. The PowerShot S500 Digital Elph features an ultra-compact and fast (f/2.8-4.9) 3x optical zoom lens. The lens - with its seven-element design - offers a wide Autofocus range from as close as two inches (in macro mode) to infinity. Canon has also extended the power and range of this camera's digital zoom to 4.1x. For taking pictures on the fly, the S500 Digital Elph camera offers a continuous burst mode that captures up to 2.2 frames per second at full resolution. The PowerShot S500 Digital Elph model also has a shutter speed that extends to a fast 1/2000 of a second and features a built in flash with a range of up to 11 feet and automatic, red-eye reduction and slow synch settings. The camera's sharp, clear and easy to read 1.5-inch LCD monitor even allows users to check the smallest of details thanks to a 10x playback zoom. Features: • 5.0 Megapixel CCD PowerShot S500 and S410 digital cameras are equipped with high-resolution CCD sensors that capture a wealth of detail. Even your largest prints will exhibit the clarity and rich detail you demand. • 3x Optical/4.1x Digital/12x Combined Zoom Both cameras are equipped with a high-resolution 3x optical zoom lens for sharp shooting in a variety of situations. A seamlessly integrated digital zoom takes you right into the action. • DIGIC Imaging Processor and iSAPS Technology Canon's exclusive DIGIC Imaging Processor revolutionizes how you shoot digital by allowing the camera to process images faster and improving the accuracy of the autofocus. DIGIC also reduces the effects on noise in your images. iSAPS Technology is a scene-recognition technology developed for digital cameras by Canon. Using an internal database of thousands of different photos, iSAPS works with the fast DIGIC Imaging Processor to improve focus speed and accuracy, as well as exposure and white balance. • Print & Share Button A new dedicated Print & Share button right on the camera makes direct printing from a Canon Card Photo or Direct Photo Printer easier than ever. Enjoy a full range of print features, including ID Photo Print in 28 sizes, and a Movie Print function* that lets you print multiple stills from a recorded movie on a single sheet. PictBridge lets you print direct from any PictBridge-supported printer as well. • 9-point AiAF Auto Focus System No matter where your subject appears in the frame, 9-point AiAF focus system ensures crisp, fast focus with every shot. • Intelligent Orientation Sensor An Intelligent Orientation Sensor automatically rotates images to the correct orientation when you view them on the LCD screen or your computer. • VGA Movies The PowerShot S500 lets you capture exciting 30-second movie clips (10 fps) with sound at high quality VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels). For longer movies up to 3 minutes (15 fps), QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) and QQVGA (160 x 120) resolutions are also available. • Direct Print Function (with Compatible Printers) With the Direct Print Feature, you can make clear prints swiftly and easily when you connect the camera to a Direct Print Function compatible printer or a PictBridge compatible printer.
