Quick review

The good
Build, simple to use, nice wide-angle lens, image quality at lower ISOs, quite probably the perfect family or beach camera, ideal builder’s snapper.
The bad
Big and clunky, horrible to look at, image noise at higher ISOs, price, horrible to look at … and did I say it looked horrible?
Verdict
Tougher than rhino hide, waterproof and dustproof, the 500G is aimed those who work in a tough environment, it also takes nice pictures too
