Steve's Digicams reviews the Epson L-500V digital camera and writes - 'The Epson L-500V will make a good choice for anyone who needs or wants a very compact and highly durable camera. It will make an excellent camera for family, tourist, and business users. With a street price of around $399, it offers a good value and because it fits in most any size pocket, it's always ready to capture that special moment.'
Buy the Epson L-500V 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
CNET Reviews has a reviews of the Epson L-500V digital camera and writes - 'With so many sub-$400 digital cameras flooding the market, it's starting to feel like a plague of locusts. How do you know which one to buy, given that the quality of these is quite good now? One strategy is to look for a few key features that make a camera stand out from the crowd. Epson's L-500V has many of the usual specs for a $400 model: a 5-megapixel sensor, a 3X zoom, an SD card slot, a continuous-shooting mode, and a small collection of scene modes. It also has one stand-out feature: the best LCD screen we've seen on a digital camera. The big, bright, high-resolution display should make the Epson a hit with families and friends who want to immediately share the fun. While the LCD will wow even the most hardened of professionals, the L-500V's performance and photo quality don't follow through on the promise.'
PC Magazine reviews the Epson L-500V digital camera and writes - 'The Epson L-500V's most notable feature is a gorgeous 2.5-inch LCD, into which Epson's Photo Fine Technology is incorporated. The screen displays 196,608 pixels: 70 percent more than a typical 2.5-inch LCD like the one on the Casio Exilim EX-Z55. The L-500V has no optical viewfinder, but framing our shots using the LCD was accurate and easy, except in very bright sunlight when reflections and glare sometimes made it hard to see. And in very low light, we saw more noise in the display than we had noticed in other LCDs. But under normal conditions, images on the LCD were crisp and bright.'
