The Canon HS SYSTEM takes the frustration out of low light shooting. The system delivers clear, blur-free shots with all the ambiance intact, and frees you from the sometimes unwanted effects of using the flash. Beautiful low light shots are possible at both low and high ISO speeds, and the dynamic range is expanded to retain maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas.The system is the result of two technologies brought together in a compact PowerShot. The first is the 12.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS SYSTEM is Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and delivers high speed image processing.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast enough to catch my 16 month daughter!
*by J***A on January 5, 2012*

I was tired of the dark, grainy, low-res photos that my video camera and phone took. All the great shots of my cute little daughter were just terrible in print quality.Looking for the best bang for my buck, my priority was Shutter Lag, and indoor performance w/o flash.Love. This. Camera. The touchscreen is GREAT, large screen for reviewing. Get a Sandisk Extreme III SD card, and you'll be able to hold down the shutter to grab up to 3 or so photos PER SECOND! (Have to have the flash OFF for this!)Remember, the more you zoom in, the smaller the aperature will be, which means, to get the brightest, clearest shot indoors, DON'T USE THE ZOOM! Just hold the camera closer to your child and you can snap off 3 photos per second and catch the perfect moment.Also, a bonus...the video mode is AWESOME. Takes just as good 1080p video as my $400 Sony Handycam dedicated video camera.So...if you are mainly wanting great picture quality, and also shooting video, don't get a videocamera that takes pictures (the pictures will always be crappy). Get a still camera that also takes video. Then you will have great pictures and also great video.CONS: Battery life seems short. Good news: it comes with a dedicated charger (you remove the battery from the camera and put it in the charger), so you can charge a second battery while using the camera. I haven't bought an additional battery yet, but I may have to do so.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Returned After Malfunction
*by S***E on January 13, 2012*

I bought this camera for a gift; I'd had excellent success with an earlier Elph so thought this one would serve the gift recipient in the same way. Problem was, she could never get it to work right --- the touch screen, both when composing shots and after taking them, showed dark, washed-out images and nothing she or I did remedied the problem. When the camera did work right one time, it only lasted for about a minute before reverting to the "dark side", including gray vertical lines on the screen.So after we spent hours with the camera, manual, online helps, and solution disc with no success, I arranged with Amazon online to return the camera for a replacement, which is where I couldn't believe the excellent return process. I followed the online instructions late yesterday afternoon, printed out the bar code sheet, wrapped it and the camera, and early this morning UPS picked the box up; a new camera has already shipped and is scheduled to arrive first thing next week.I have to believe there's a "short" or something in the electronics and look forward to seeing how the replacement camera works. I'm giving the camera three stars for now based on the great return process, and will upgrade to four or five if the replacement operates well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a nice calm pink like this Canon ELPH 500 HS
*by K***G on June 6, 2015*

I know it sounds silly, but for my wife to use a camera, it has to be pink. Not hot pink, a nice calm pink like this Canon ELPH 500 HS. Luckily, Canon has made a lot of nice pink cameras over the years, and this is no exception. The low light performance is excellent compared to our previous cameras. The full 1080p video with stereo sound is amazing for a point and shoot camera! Many people are recording life moments on decent quality cell phone cameras, but dedicated cameras have really advanced in the past few years.
