The Canon Ixus 500 HS has an impressive zoom range on paper but certain reviews suggest that the sensor is smaller than usual for a compact, and this results in relatively poor image quality.

The first thing I look for in a compact is the widest angle of the lens. A huge zoom range might sound fantastic but I usually find myself wishing for a wider lens in tight situations (inside buildings, etc). I'd be looking for 25mm or 24mm wide.
