UPDATE: Check out our complete CTR500 Router Review!

UPDATE: Firmware 1.3 enables LOAD BALANCING!

Think of it as a CTR350 that adds an ExpressCard slot and a case size of a PHS300. The CTR500 will support USB, ExpressCard and have an ethernet port as well as an external wifi antenna jack. The CTR500 does not have a rechargeable battery like the PHS300.

It will have dual ports (1 USB & 1 ExpressCard) which will support fail-over. If you look in the picture, there is a Sprint and Verizon card, so if I go to an area that doesn't have coverage of one, it will fail-over to the other card.

This isn't meant to replace the PHS300 (Battery version), just a stretched out CTR350 that supports an ExpressCard.

I like the video. Instruction sheets and web pages are so cold.

Was that a Canon DVD reflecting ever so briefly on the shiny case?

yes jack, it was a several year old canon miniDV camcorder.

with the positive response we've been getting over these last two videos, we are planning to do more of them, and are considering a better quality camcorder to ensure brighter video.

thanks for the support!

Video brighness can be adjusted in the editing software but one change would be to use a medium grey background instead of a white background since white is bright and will cause the auto brightness to be set lower causing a darker image.

Of course you can do what I used to do and manually adjust the exposure using the viewfinder as a guide. There should be + and - exposure adjustments somewhere. Check the manual.

Or call Canon Support... Razz

Well, I like the two new features, wifi ant. hookup and the s-meter. Sold my 350 and should have the 500 Thursday. 3G gave me 20 bux off retail for having purchased the modem there in Feb.
