SD500 Test Results (vs P200, S400, SD20) [Page 3]
after doing your own due diligence, would you feel more confident with the P200 at this stage over the SD500?... I like the P200 as far as I've gone with it (just handled in a store) for being surprisingly light, very quick to operate, better mode dial than the SD500, and a few other bits....

Sony P200 vs. Canon SD500 (IXUS 700)
If you don't care about size, the Sony P line and the Canon S line are better (in this case, the Sony P200 is likely much better than the SD500).... the Sony P200 is better than SD500 if you ignore size......

 SD500 Test Results (vs P200, S400, SD20)  ... I was going to go with the SD500, but after reading about the defective movie mode, the poor image quality, and the SD300's cracking LCD problems(which indicate canon quality issues), CANON lost a customer....

Sony P200 vs. Canon SD500 [Archive]
I am torn between a Sony P200 or Canon SD500.... Canon more focusing points, smaller size although wider than the Sony, panarama, better flash, compact flash memory, more shots per second, and perhaps better picture quality....
