- Fabulous Camera
This is an excellent camera for anyone! I do professional photography and typically use a DSLR that was quite costly and of course not the kind of thing you can throw in your purse. This is a great camera to keep on hand for impromptu family events, or just have around the house. It has a point and shoot option, but also allows the photographer to control the settings as they would with a much more expensive camera. I would highly recommend also purchasing an external flash as the quality of ... Read More

- One year of use
I have had this camera for over a year now, and I still love it. The one sore point is the lense cover which falls off far too easy.

I have used the camera inside and out, on moving and stationary targets, and I have used the video features also. All work great. I agree with some of the reviews, make sure and get good batteries, and a high quality SDHC card, for the video the high speed card is a must. The audio recording is good for inside, in wind you do pick up noise though. ... Read More

- Excellent camera for the price
First of all let me tell you that I'm not a pro. I'm just a normal person who likes to take pictures of normal activities with the family (parties, BBQ, vacations, etc).

I bought this camera early on 2008 (a replacement for my old canon camera) and wanted something more powerful but having at the same time something affordable. I found a great package and great price too.

I review lots of cameras and this was my choice. Excellent, it has a lot of features, which I'm not ... Read More

- A very good camera,very good,but...
This camera is wonderfull,the pictures are great,flash or options.
The cap is the problem,each time it fells,on evey sudden move or even if you touch it easily it fells.
All in all I am really satisfied with the camera,but it could be better.The worst thing that happened to me,was from the shop that I bought it,Circuit city,they are not serious,they send me the camera really late,and when I call to see what happened they just hung up on me.
Very rood,just avoid Circuit City.

- It's The Best Bang For Your Buck
Before I used the S5, I used the Canon S1 IS. Let me tell you what a jump that was. From the expanded LCD screen to an even better zoom (though the S1 has 10x optical & the S5 has 12x optical), I thought it was a pretty good investment. I think it's a much more sturdier hold, that when you hold the S5 and any other camera, you can notice the difference in feel, it feels more like a real camera. Asides from the outside aesthetics, the features aren't anything that's really different from the ... Read More
