A fun camera to take on your next family outing

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Pick up the Canon PowerShot S5 for all your photographic adventures. It is compact yet offers the option to use video or your still camera.
Review: This camera is perfect for capturing the beauty of the
outdoors. Whether you want to remember the fall colors
in the mountains or your family's silly expressions as
you are hiking the trails together. The compact size makes
it...

The Review for Canon S5 IS

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2008
Review: The camera it self was amazing, when i was using the Cam. It was much better than a Canon S3 IS, The Megazoom is perfect for capturing a Monkey eating Eagle feeding on a Dead snake.

Buy this Camera

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2007
Review: Excellent weight balance allows for comfortable feel in ones hands. All buttons are easy to access and utilize. Many people complain about the lens cap falling off easily which is true and by design. If the camera lens is activated with the cap in...

Canon PowerShot S5 IS is everything I wanted and more!

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this camera to the experienced amateur phtography enthusiast. It's not the caliber of a professional camera, but as close as you get for amateur.
Review: I purchased the Canon Powershot S5 IS in December. I had been looking for a new digital camera for about 6 months, and this one has turned out to be great for what I need it for. I am a mom of 2, and been so pleased with this camera's performance...

Still the best camera for the money!

Date of Review:  Aug 26, 2006
Review: I have used this camera constantly for the last 2 years for my ebay photos and all I can say is that it has not missed a beat. I go through the rechargeables pretty frequently but I have 2 sets and it works fine. I take the camera with me everywhere...

Picture Perfect

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2005
Review: I love this Camera. Bought it simply b/c of Canon name and it's professional look. Takes great pictures, fairly lightweight, and the Image Stabilizer works like a charm. I am not pro photographer by no means, but I would highly recommend this for...

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2004
Review: This is my first digital camera and I just love it. I am by no means a professional but the this camera is simple enough for the novice and has the added features that the more experienced photographer would want and need. It takes very good quality...

Canon S1 IS - Power and Performance

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: A Solid camera that a beginner can use yet has all the features an expereienced shooter would desire. Two other family members have purchased the same camera after using mine.
Review: I bought the Canon S1 IS right when the model was first released as a digital camera for my wife and as a take along camera when I didn't want to bring my Digital SLR (Canon 10D). I've now been using the camera for almost a year and can offer this...

Excellent choice

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: This camera is a smart choice for anyone. My 4 year old can operate this camera on the auto setting, yet I can still take excellent pictures on manual.
Review: I love photography, and as much as I'd love to own a dSLR it's just not in my budget at the moment. This is the next best thing, in my opinion. I love the option of full manual control, and the automatic and program modes make this camera nearly...

P&S with Big Zoom. Poor at ISO 800

Date of Review:  Oct 14, 2008
The Bottom Line:

Okay for vacation and candids.

Review: I bought this S5 to replaced my XT. I did not want to spend $200.00 to fix a camera that is worth that much and addition, I did not want to carry my L lenses just for candid pics.

There are several reasons why I picked the S5 over other...
