The 500SE is also designed for rugged outdoor use. Forget the padded camera case. This is a professional camera designed to sit on the seat of your truck or helicopter and get regularly dumped on the floor, dropped in the water or mud, and keep on working. The sample 500SE I used lived up to its reputation as I put it through its paces. I found it easy to use, feature packed, and just downright rugged.
