Canon PowerShot® S5 IS Digital Camera

Pros: 10X optical zoom, image stabilizer, swivel LCD
Cons: no macro

I've had the PowerShot S1-IS for about 6 weeks, and found that my photos have improved greatly since my initial purchase. I suspect that some difficulties reported may be due less to the camera than the user. Lens cap loss: Just attach it to the neck ...

Pros: GREAT stereo movies with zoom. Tilting display. Uses AA batteries. Hot shoe.
Cons: Lens not as wide (36-432mm)as others in its class. No constant battery indicator.

The Canon S5 IS Is the Perfect Family Camera Having a young family, I found that my old Sony point and shoot with 3X optical wasn’t getting the job done in many of the situations that a young family takes pictures. We were frequently going to ...

Pros: - Great quality photos - Ultra-zoom - Excellent video mode - Intervalometer
Cons: Only 3MP Some purple fringing No flash hot shoe No AF illuminator

I purchased this camera about a week ago. I previously owned the Minolta DiMAGE Z1, but was unhappy with that camera's flaws (such as very bad chromatic aberration, and audio/video out of sync). On paper, the Z1 was great, but my experience was less ...

Pros: 10X optical zoom, Image Stabilization, Canon quality images and fast focus & memory write times.
Cons: Maximum film speed ISO 400; and maybe 3.1 megapixel - still no deal breaker!

Bought a PowerShot S1 IS for my wife. Though I fancy myself an advanced amateur she is a film point & snapper who only recently became curious about digital. She will use it primarily at our (NFL) Titans games. She is tired of missing shots of ...

Pros: ZOOM, Video, Image Stabilization, Manual Settings (Savable), too many to list
Cons: Auto-focus doesn't always cut it in low light, only 3 mega-pizels

First a little history on my Digital Camera experience…. I have owned 4 Digital Cameras over the past 3 years….. Originally I started out with a Canon Digital ELPH S200, I loved the features and compact nature, but was left really unsatisfied with ...

Pros: Fast, powerful zoom. Excellent video. Macro to 0 inches. Viewer bright and clear.
Cons: Lens cap (arrg!) Product manual hard to use. Controls complicated for casual use. Bulky.

Excellent camera overall with very good capabilities for a casual photographer (like me). I purchased this camera after using a 5 megapixel Kodak camera for 3 years. The canon exceeds the capability and quality of the Kodak, and the software is ...

Pros: Zoom, MACRO, great Colors, clear, sharp photos & Video clips, LCD screen Tilts & Rotates
Cons: Red eyes when shooting with the built-in flash.Large file size of video clips.

I waited to write this review until I had the camera for a while & could accurately write about it; 6 months & 2130 photos later I can honestly say that this camera has EXCEEDED& nbsp;my expectations!  This is my first digit...

Pros: 10x optical zoom, image stabilization
Cons: Pathetic LCD for camera in this price range

I recently needed to purchase a digital camera. Having had really good results with my Canon photo printer I looked to Canon's products. The requirements were enough features to keep me interested. While being easy enough to use that my wife who is ...

Pros: Great movie mode, colors. Easy to use auto mode works well.
Cons: Poor focus in low light, Support is terrible

Canon S1 iS I wanted a camera that could do it all. I wanted a good sports camera as I’m on the ski hill all winter and on the mountain bike all summer, it had to be able to reach my subject and catch a quick shot before they zoomed by. I also had my ...

Pros: photo quality, 12x zoom, video capability, AA batteries
Cons: LCD viewfinder issues, insecure lens cap, no remote

For those who aren't looking for an SLR, this is one digital camera that I happily endorse. It has way too many features to list, but the S5IS is easy to use for "point and shoot". As you being taking picture, you'll use the AUTO or ...

Pros: Fast, clear pictures, good focal range
Cons: Horrible reliability record, poor customer service

When I bought the PowerShot S5 IS at Christmas time, I really thought I had done my homework. It took great pictures and took pictures with great speed. Additionally, it had great focal range, snapping sharp pictures even at a good distance. My ...

Pros: Great button location, great color. Read review.
Cons: battery hold down hard to close. Lens cap unstable

I mentioned in a previous post that I bought the Kodak DX4530 about 4 years ago, also a great little camera for every day point and shoot. I needed something a little faster and bought the CANON S5 IS. The old Kodak gave me 2 seconds between shots. The ...

Pros: Everything you could require in a camera for the price. Accessories available are outstanding.
Cons: Sucks the everloving juice out of batteries!Name brand Accessories are outrageously priced.

This is my very first digital camera purchase (i have used several loaners)and it took me weeks of research to choose it. Of course I wanted the Rebel, but couldn't afford it, then I decided the S1 IS was better. I bought a 512mb card along with it which ...

Pros: 10x Zoom, Flip out LCD
Cons: Size

Other people have described the features of this camera so I'll just blab on a little about why I love it so much. The Canon S1 IS is the fourth digital camera I have owned. And the best. I was so happy with my Sony cameras, I never thought I'd try ...

Pros: Image Stabilization, flip screen, multi-features, 10x zoom
Cons: 3.2 megapixels

I originally purchased this particular camera due to Canon's reputation and the fact that is one of the best beginners cameras out there. First let's start with the bad: 3.2 megapixels is a little low for any new camera, but it will still get the ...
