SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

OH... BILLY

There's a new crouton in the Salad Bowl:

The Cannon SD500.

What's it offer?

* The first 7.1 Megapixel Digital ELPH with 3x Optical Zoom and new elegantly curved design in a metallic body

* Large 2.0 inch LCD screen for easy on-camera viewing

* DIGIC II Image Processor for even faster processing speed, crisp vibrant colors and excellent image quality

* USB 2.0 Hi-Speed support for faster downloads and file transfers

* Enhanced Movie Mode with new Fast Frame Rate Movie recording at 60 fps (320 x 240) plus 9 Special Scene Modes and Digital Macro Mode

* New My Colors feature for color customization while shooting

* Print/Share Button for easy direct printing and downloading plus ID

* Photo Print and Movie Print with Canon CP Printers

Day-um.

Just ordered it online from Costco. It's my fifth camera in less than three years. (I wore out the others and took them back to the Great Warehouse Barn of Orgiastic Retail Spending, which gave me full refunds every time.)

Man. If I was a pest with my other cameras, can you imagine the level of obnoxiousness I'll descend to with the hearty wind of 7.1 megapixes blowing at my back?

The mind boggles.
