1 out of 5 stars Horrible Pictures   September 1, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Takes horrible pictures. My old tiny olympus took better pictures. Flash takes forever to recharge between shots. I can't stand this camera and can't wait to get a different one.


4 out of 5 stars Great camera, but why get ripped off here???   August 29, 2008
The ridiculous prices here aren't even CLOSE! I just LOVE the clowns selling it over MSRP. What a joke. Please, don't waste your time with these fools. Buy it elsewhere. I've seen it for $299. The camera is great. I had the S3, and am about to buy this one. Takes wonderful pictures. I've taken great shots from the nosebleeds at a hockey game of the puck at faceoff. Unreal how well they came out. Canon makes great stuff. Nicely put together, easy to use. Awesome Zoom and good quality shots.


5 out of 5 stars Canon S5 IS-Excellent Camera   August 26, 2008

I was debating between the Olympus SP570 UZ and the Canon but after comparing them I chose the Canon primarily because it was quicker focusing,less expensive, and the picture quality was as good or better. The extra zoom was enticing but did not make up for the slower response. Have had the camera for a month and extremely pleased.


5 out of 5 stars Love It!   August 18, 2008
I love my camera. The pictures are sharp and vivid. There are a lot of features to use. I am still learning them of course, but I will have plenty of opportunities to utilize them. I can zoom in on an object and see it with such clarity. The only draw back is the lens cover. It continuously falls off , but compared to the picture quality and the relatively easiness of using this camera it's a minor issue.

I bought this camera to replace my S3, which I gave to my daughter. I love it. Excellent zoom and image stabillization is a great feature. The only negative thing I can say about it is that it is large. It is difinitely not a pocket-sized camera. Overall another great camera from Canon.
