Epson L-500V Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.00 (out of 10)
The Epson L-500V has been created, says Epson, to appeal to those snappers not enamoured of digital cameras with small LCDs. And the result is a stylish compact camera that has the ‘world’s highest resolution’ colour screen at 256 pixels per inch.
The camera is easy to operate (start up is extremely fast too) offering an all-auto point and shoot mode but few manual controls even in the manual mode! Manual simply actually offers extra control options such as resolution, exposure compensation and ISO sensitivity adjustment. These are accessed using a menu system controlled via a small joystick control on the camera back.

| The Epson L-500V is the first digital camera from that company in quite a while, but their (much) earlier PhotoPC 3000 and 3100 were among my favorites at the time. The new Epson L-500V happily carries forward many of the hallmarks of the earlier Epson models, including good color and build quality. Among its most salient points though, the Epson 500V sports one of the most downright beautiful LCDs I've yet seen in a digital camera. All in all, the L-500V is an excellent product with which to mark Epson's return to the consumer digital camera market. Read on for all the details! |

| Epson is known for one thing above all: printers. If the company can maintain the standards set by its Epson L-500V, digital cameras will be another feather in its cap. This 5-megapixel entry-level compact camera captures very good-looking images, and its large screen really lends itself to showing off your pictures. |

| 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. |
