Canon PowerShot S500 announced

Canon has announced their line-up of new digicams and it includes the one I’ve been waiting for, the PowerShot S500 (aka Digital IXUS 500 or IXY Digital 500, depending or where in the world you buy it).

The S500 is the 5MPixel follow-on to the S100/200/400 series cameras. After reading about the announcement and its stats from Digital Photography Review, I’m ready to buy one. My problem: they won’t be available until late April according to Amazon.

I’ll guess I’ll just have to wait. Hey, maybe I should buy some accessories to pass the time(?). A car charger might come in handy…hhhmm…
