WOW!!!! Finally I got a GREAT Camera

Best you can get before going SLR
, October 18, 2007Reviewer: Alex C - See all Alex C's reviews15 of 15 Yahoo! Users found this Canon PowerShot S5 IS review helpfulPros: Quick start up, great image quality, good video quality, great optical zoom length, hot shoe flash mount
Cons: No RAW support, autofocus a little lagging sometimes.
This is probably on of the best pro-sumer cameras you can get without going to an SLR. The Digic III image processor puts out great clear images. Plenty of preset settings for indoor, beach, night, sport, etc. and also full manual capability for creative freedom. I know this is a ""point n shoot" but I miss being able to manually focus using the lens barrel like you can on an SLR. The auto focus can sometimes lag when you need a quick response, you need to hold cam pretty still to allow the focus to lock in. When it does, however, its very sharp, and the face tracking works well. That said, I will get used to the focus quirk for the mere fact that I can take video clips, unlike an SLR. The video quality is not Mini DV quality, but very acceptable. With stereo sound, full zoom capability while recording and the ability to snap pics while recording. Also there is a dedicated record button, no need to turn the dial to movie mode. Other reviews knocks this cam for not upgrading the optics, claiming other cams like Sony are catching up. I say this is a case of proven technology being passed forward, these optics were proven in the S3 and the Digic III processor is a big plus upgrade. If you are looking for SLR quality with the ability to shoot video, this is a strong contender. If you want RAW file support, then maybe the Canon G9 is for you. Hope this helps. ...

Pros: I am blown away with the S5
Cons: Haven't found one yet
I have had so many digital cameras and I finally found one I absolutely love. I just sent back the SP550UZ Olympus what a joke a camera that won't forcus a new concept. I have had the Nikon 8800, 5700, all the 1000.00 slr's Nikon D80, sony and canon. The S5is is perfect for my needs I sell some photos love macro and landscape photography and I promise you will not be disappointed in the S5is, I am on Vacation on a photo shoot and having a blast. Heading home long enough to pick up the wide angle and telephone lens I ordered and back to the wildness to shoot more stunning photos. Ease of use, quality photos and a short learning curve makes this a GREAT Camera, Oh! I also owned the S3is was not that impressed The S5is is not a glorified S3 it is lighting fast. A whole new camera by Canon. I mean you will never miss the shot because this camera goes into super speed start up and focusing. FUN FUN FUN!!! If you bought an S5is and didn't like it I woul be SHOCKED! I have read every review possible on most every high end point and shoot and $1000.00-$2000.00 Digital SLR I have researched till I am blue in the face, check out my Ebay acount I have sold 13 digital cameras over the last 2 years That I have bought, tried and sold. This one will not be on my Ebay anytime soon. ...
