 Great Camera! July 14, 2008
I purchased this camera about 3 months ago and have been blown away with its capabilities. Its got a fast focus time, takes great low light photos and the zoom is more than I expected.
There is only one thing I can say bad about the camera, and its not a real big deal. The lens cap does come off far too easily. I have a habit of mistreating my cameras, even when I try to take care of them, and the lens cap is something I rely on to help me take care of the camera. There needs to be a tighter, stronger lens cap. There is a good thing about the lens cap popping off so easily though. If you have to get ready to shoot quickly, as soon as you turn the camera on, the cap pops off and you are ready to go.
The S5IS has great features and is ergonomically designed. I have cubby hands and it still feels comfortable when I hold it. The dials and buttons are all easy to get to. This is really the camera I wish I had with me years ago.
 Best Camera For the Price July 5, 2008
Me and my wife have bought 3 digital cameras over the years always going with kodak easy shares. But this camera blows all others out of the water. We have never taken such nice pictures and all the extra functions are awesome. My wife really likes the color pic funtion. You will be very happy with this camera if you are a beginner to advanced photographer. We could not be happier with this camera.
Amazing Pictures July 4, 2008
I've been researching what camera I should get next for a couple of months before I settled for the Canon Powershot S5 IS. My priorities were a good optical zoom, taking pictures of moving objects, nighttime pictures and of course a decent price. You can take really good pictures in the color accent mode. In my opinion this camera was the best choice I could have made. The reason for not giving it five is the noise in some of the images taken in sports mode.
Awesome for the price and features July 3, 2008

This is a great camera for the price. It's my first camera in the S range so I don't have the same history that other reviewers have. Almost everything is 'pro' with the exception of a couple minor issues: Yes, the lens cap sucks - buy the conversion adapter (Canon's or a metal one) and add a filter and cap. I like the idea of being able to take pictures while doing video but it freezes the video frame for a second and the 'click' of the shutter is also recorded. I think there might be a way to turn that off but I have to investigate further. Otherwise, if you want a 12x zoom that can be used with 30 fps video (unusual) and a great digital camera, don't hesitate to get the S5.
Great all around Camera July 2, 2008

I purchased this camera for my mother. She loves the thing to death. The only complaint I really have about it and I read in the reviews before purchasing was that the memory card slot is located in the same location as the batteries. Other then that the digital stabilization is magnificent, and the extra lenses that allow for Micro photography are a steal. If your looking for a cheap, but high Optical Zoom, and lens attachments, and don't mind auto focus this camera is for you.
