Canon?s New Powershot G5 Best in Class?

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: The new Canon Powershot G5 offers users an almost perfect balance of intuitive usability, near pro performance, solid build quality, compact size, and exceptional images.
Review: Digital camera evolution has been truly impressive and pro-sumer models are one of the hottest segments of that high tech revolution. The new Canon Powershot G5 could be the poster boy for hot pro-sumer digital cameras. The stylish little G5 is...

King of the 5 megapixel hill.

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: A great intermediate/advanced camera that will fulfill all of your photo needs. Built on a proven design with many upgrades, canon fans will not be dissapointed.
Review: Ever since I went looking for a family camera (I picked the s230) I found many people in the hospital that I work with that are into cameras. Because I've become somewhat knowledgeable about camera's, I often am given the opportunity to "try out"...

You Just Can't Keep a Good Thing Down

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you want quality professional images with the ease of use of a consumer camera, then this is your ticket. The competition has once again been one-upped!
Review: My friend got a G1 on my recommendation and then I got a G2 after playing with his G1. I used it for almost two years and was pretty happy with it. There were a few annoying problems that nagged me enough to consider another manufacture. So, I...

G5 and 420EX review: G5 not worth $450.

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: When lighting conditions are good, takes great pictures. When they're not, you'll have to get out the 35mm film camera.
Review: To pre-qualify myself just so you understand that this isn't just a review generated from G5 user error, I'd rate myself technically at a high intermediate to advanced level. Although I have been shooting 35mm film on my Canon 35mm SLR for only...

Gets the Big Things Right

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2003
The Bottom Line: Solid combination of great pictures, wide range of user-friendly features, long battery life and reasonably compact size.
Review: Canon's latest Powershot entry, the G5, is marginally improved from their previous G3--mainly by upping the megapixel count from 4 to 5. I looked at comparably priced Olympus, Sony and Nikon before settling on the G5. Having taken thousands of pics...

Tops In Its Class

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2003
The Bottom Line: Recommend to anyone for image quality, ease of use, versatility, battery life and high trade-up value. Shop for the best price and trade up for the G6 next year.
Review: This is my third G series PowerShot digital camera. I owned the G2, G3 and now the G5. In addition to the increased megapixels from 4 to 5, there are only a few other changes from the G3. By the way, in case you're wondering why Canon skipped over...

A few words on the G5

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend it. Thanks to the overall performance and few shortcomings. I do think too one should also look at comparable Nikon and Olympus
Review: I have owned this for approx. 9 months. So far I am VERY pleased. Do I think it's perfect? No. But what unit is? While it tends to be a little large it's still easier to handle than my previous unit (Olympus D600L) but a little heavier.

Prosumer features, questionable quality

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Good prosumer camera if purchased at the right price. Poor auto focus is a shame to Canon's reputation. But it takes good pictures when lighting is good.
Review: True to my "going out of market" value system (see my Bose review), I bought Canon PowerShot G5 (G5 hereafter) February of 2004, when G5 was being replaced. Within three months, G5 was pulled off the shelf.

My wife is a prosumer when it...

If you're looking for a video & hi-quality photo combo, this is it!

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: Unless you're priority is to get a pocket-size camera, get this. I'll have this camera for a long time!
Review: For the last few months, I've been researching a solution to fulfill my needs (more like wants) for a camera that would :

1) produce high-quality still photos
2) allow me to have the capability to take at least 10 minutes of video...

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2003
