Amazing cameraJune 21, 2009 This camera is amazing for what it will do for the investment made.. I have gotten many fine photos from it but did never fool with the video features... I recently shot a series of videos and photos for a fund raising thing I am involved with....I then edited the photos and videos in pse 7 and made a movie with all the goodies with pe 7.. had it duplicated (500 copies)and shown on a big screeen rear projection screen....The audio was awesome...the clips had full color and no jerkeness, and the photos were of equal quality..The audience thought it was very fine...Also this camera has done everything I have asked of it...Over the years I have had it...I was pleased to see the last ones available sell for twice what I paid for mine..This is an indication of just how valuable folks have found this piece of equipment....The only problem I had was that stupid lens cap...it is useless...and I lost a feature I had on my s2is (time lapse photography).....so I still have the s2 which also makes a wonderful backup camera....

Good camera, terrible in low lightMay 8, 2009 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this camera for more than a year and probably it's too late writing this review. However, here is my take on this S5 IS and I want to keep this review real short. I bought this camera just because I didn't want to carry a big SLR everywhere and I thought this would take better pictures than the point and shoots. The camera takes great pictures in brightly lit outdoors. That's about it. The camera is nothing close to a DSLR when it comes to taking close-ups (zoom) or pictures in low light. Most of the pictures I've taken at night or in low light are terrible and there is not a setting or configurationg I've not tried. As many people say this camera is not comparable to a DSLR, not even close to a Nikon D60. Most of the decent point and shoot camera's will do just fine as this S5IS, apart for the zoom and the swivel screen. Trust me. Battery life has been decent, but yeah you put 4 of them in there (I use Duracell re-chargeable which lasts for a day or two roughly 150 shots). Flash photography is good at low light, but a point and shoot can do just fine. Super macro function works well. If I were to get another camera I will get a point and shoot, really, otherwise just get yourself a cheap SLR. This is neither small to carry around nor as good as an SLR.
Canon S5ISApril 27, 2009 Upgraded to a Canon S5 IS & very pleased with the photos. Easy to operate. Enough pixels to allow you to crop & still have an excellent photo. Macro just as easy to operate. Would recommend even to a beginner.
Es buenaApril 1, 2009 La camara tiene una particularidad, osea su pantalla movible eso la hace unica, tal ves le hace falta un poco de Zoom en comparacion con otras camaras de otras marcas y que tienen mas recurso de acercamiento, sin embargo uno va queriendo tener una camara mejor pero osea ninguna SRL tiene una pantalla LCD movible como esa NINGUNA que alguien me presente una Nikon o una misma canon, entonces yo digo no puedo desacerme de ella no pues ese recurso me ha dado muchas alegrias a la hora de tomar fotos dificiles. Conclusion final mientras ninguna SRL tenga una pantalla LCD como la de Powershot SI 5S no la cambio es mas me puedo comprar otra pero esa camara creo no la cambio por nada!
