I Really LOVE my camera !

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: HIGHLY recommended! SO versatile, yet just set on "Auto", you get great results. It's 1-1/2 years since its release, so the price has dropped considerably.
Review: 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 my expectations! This is my first digital camera. I spent several...

Nice to use, but reliable???

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2004
Review: After much research, I decided that the advantages of the 10x zoom with IS outweighed the average resolution. I'm happy to think I was correct. The zoom gets you much closer, so you don't have to enlarge as much. Once you get comfortable with the...

Canon Powershot S1 IS is great!

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2004
Review: My brother bought one and I needed a new camera. It is great. I'm no expert and I tend to move when I shoot a picture. The image stabilizer (IS) stops it from coming out in the photo.
I recommend to buy a 256 MB compact flash card with it.

Great camera!

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: Good for beginners and pros both. Good value. Sturdy. Great photos!
Review: I love this camera! I would have said that in the subject line, but there wasn't room.

I never thought I'd give up my 35mm, but I rarely use it any more. I tried three digital cameras before this one. None of them gave results that I...

Stuff your wallet and go get one! Get accessories later! (see tips)

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: best bang for the buck, easy to use, learn it fast, great pics, plenty optional accessories. Be sure to get 8x 2400mah nimh rechargable batteries, charger and AC adapter.
Review: 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...

Canon nearly got it completely right!

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: Best digital camera on the market today for the money, great stills and great video
Review: My last digital camera was the Minolta Z1, but there were several issues I had with it that caused me to look for something better. I read the specs on the S1 IS and couldn't wait for it to be released, buying one as soon as it was available. I have...

Submersible Case & But Compromises w/Camera

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: Probably a good second camera for a prosumer/enthusiast. Might be a lot to learn for a new user.
Review: I bought this camera along with a Canon waterproof/submersible case for use in situations where I expected the camera would be subject to water exposure (canoeing, kayaking, sailing), and to use it underwater (snorkeling mostly). I own a Nikon D70,...

Great Camera - worth the extra $

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2005

Canon PowerShot? S5 IS Digital Camera is a great buy!

Date of Review:  May 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend this camera, but suggest that you take the time to really go through the manual to figure out all the settings.
Review: I bought this camera because our family had never owned a nice good quality camera before. We got in on sale and are quite pleased with it. I have not been able to customize it on the custom setting, as the flash setting either causes white out, or...

not impressed...

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this camera only if you're not terribly concerned with high quality photos.
Review: I have high expectations when it comes to digital cameras. I was a little concerned with the camera being a 3.2MP camera...especially when I'm so used to 4MP+ cameras. However; loving some of the features (especially the rotating LCD display), being...
