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
The slimmest compact camera to squeeze in a 12x optical zoom
The new Canon IXUS 500 HS adds a long zoom lens to the style-conscious IXUS range of compact cameras. Also known as the ELPH 520 HS, the Canon IXUS 500 HS boasts a wide-angle 12x zoom, 10 megapixel CMOS sensor, 3 inch LCD screen and full 1080p HD movies. Is this the right travel-zoom camera for you? Find out in our in-depth Canon IXUS 500 HS review, complete with full-size sample images and video.
Just the other day I was perusing Canon's Digital Compact Cameras webpage when suddenly I was submerged in a vat of relentless consternation. The company offers 25 point-and-shoot models in the sub-$350 category.

“The ELPH 520 HS / IXUS 500 HS is truly a marvel of miniaturisation. If you’re looking for a pocket zoom that really is pocketable you be hard pressed to find a model that matches it fo…
Canon's Elph 520 HS adds a little flavor to a generally boring point-and-shoot world though it does come with some bitter tastes.
The Canon PowerShot Elph 520 HS packs a 12x zoom lens into a very compact body that's sure to turn heads. But this pretty camera is hampered by a tiny sensor that produces noisy images at middle to high ISO settings.
The slim, sumptuous design and 12x zoom lens are a great combination, but other cameras beat it for image quality
