I became a fan of Canon products after being so very pleased with their S40 digital still camera and S9000 large-format inkjet, which have both proven to be excellent. So, when it was time to acquire a new camcorder for my honeymoon, I made sure to see what Canon had to offer. Fortunately, the Optura 500 came out just in time for me to acquire one and get familiar with it before my trip. Having used it quite a bit in a wide range of conditions during two weeks in Spain, I am very pleased with it and can strongly recommend it to anyone who wants a camcorder that offers really good optics and more than just basic features.
