Pros: Fast, powerful zoom. Excellent video. Macro to 0 inches. Viewer bright and clear.
Cons: Lens cap (arrg!) Product manual hard to use. Controls complicated for casual use. Bulky.

Excellent camera overall with very good capabilities for a casual photographer (like me). I purchased this camera after using a 5 megapixel Kodak camera for 3 years. The canon exceeds the capability and quality of the Kodak, and the software is ...

Pros: Zoom, MACRO, great Colors, clear, sharp photos & Video clips, LCD screen Tilts & Rotates
Cons: Red eyes when shooting with the built-in flash.Large file size of video clips.

I waited to write this review until I had the camera for a while & could accurately write about it; 6 months & 2130 photos later I can honestly say that this camera has EXCEEDED& nbsp;my expectations!  This is my first digit...

Pros: image quality, dedicated movie button, hot shoe, great zoom, image stabilization
Cons: Uses 4 AA batteries, SD slot is in battery compartment, lens cap comes off easily

Overview The Canon S5 IS digital camera is an 8-megapixel 12X “super zoom” camera with an SLR-like body, and is the successor to the S3 IS, sharing the same lens and many similar functions. The S5 IS uses Canon’s new DIGIC III ...

Pros: Build quality, resolution, picture quality, fast 12x zoom with optical stabilization, large LCD
Cons: Expensive, no RAW, uses 4 AA batteries

Mega-zoom cameras are fun. Before digital mega-zoom cameras were available, you would have to carry around a bunch of lenses and a camera body to be able to get to 10x magnification, but now you can get a digital camera with 10x optical zoom and over for ...

Pros: 10x zoom, video, image quality, plethora of features, battery life
Cons: No live image in continuous shooting mode

My last digital camera was the Minolta Z1, but there were several issues I had with it that caused me to look for something better. I read the specs on the S1 IS and couldn't wait for it to be released, buying one as soon as it was available. I have not ...

Pros: 10x Zoom, Flip out LCD
Cons: Size

Other people have described the features of this camera so I'll just blab on a little about why I love it so much. The Canon S1 IS is the fourth digital camera I have owned. And the best. I was so happy with my Sony cameras, I never thought I'd try ...

Pros: Functions, speed to focus, weight
Cons: Size

We wanted to replace the SONY CyberShot 5 MP camera as my wife wasn't happy with the aperture speed and focusing. I looked at several cameras, and didn't want to have her using the old SLR with nothing but the viewfinder to frame her shots - our kids ...

Pros: 10x optical is enough, don't need the digital. Image stabilization.
Cons: The price but I can see the value! Pictures with low light levels are hard.

This is the best camera I have ever owned...period! This is my first digital camera and I decided to spend some money so it would last for a while. I have owned the camera for about 5 months now and I do not regret my purchase. In October I took it up ...

Pros: Beautiful pictures, ease of use, high quality, supports 52mm lens with adapter
Cons: Battery hog, but lithiums last extra long.

Before I start, keep in mind that I'm not a professional. I merely enjoy taking pretty pictures, and I need something more than a disposable Kodak, but not as serious as a thousand-dollar SLR. Also I wanted to save money on photo development, and be able ...

Pros: Great button location, great color. Read review.
Cons: battery hold down hard to close. Lens cap unstable

I mentioned in a previous post that I bought the Kodak DX4530 about 4 years ago, also a great little camera for every day point and shoot. I needed something a little faster and bought the CANON S5 IS. The old Kodak gave me 2 seconds between shots. The ...

Pros: 10X Zoom; Lots of control or features.
Cons: Zoom is fast; Electronic viewfinder poor definition; Battery life doesn't seem like it's long enough.

I bought this camera along with a Canon waterproof/submersible case for use in situations where I expected the camera would be subject to water exposure (canoeing, kayaking, sailing), and to use it underwater (snorkeling mostly). I own a Nikon D70, and ...

Pros: ZOOM, Video, Image Stabilization, Manual Settings (Savable), too many to list
Cons: Auto-focus doesn't always cut it in low light, only 3 mega-pizels

First a little history on my Digital Camera experience…. I have owned 4 Digital Cameras over the past 3 years….. Originally I started out with a Canon Digital ELPH S200, I loved the features and compact nature, but was left really unsatisfied with ...

Pros: Light, zoom, built in lens, batteries, macro, durability, ease of use
Cons: Can't swap lenses; "only" 8 MP.

I bought the Canon Powershot S5 IS in October 2007 to use on a trip to New England. Here are some of the shots taken on that trip: http: www.grandmemories.com NE2007The photos show use of the zoom, the macro, and other "normal" shots.I ...

Pros: Easy to use!  Great zoom!  Great results!
Cons: Factory auto setting causes a delay between photos. 

I love this camera!  I would have said that in the subject line, but there wasn't room. <smile>I never thought I'd give up my 35mm, but I rarely use it any more.  I tried three digital cameras before this one.  None of ...

Pros: Ease of use. Professional quality pictures. Excellent manuals.
Cons: Haven't really found any yet.

I have been suffering with an HP digital camera for a while now. Unfortunately I did not heed the advice I received from a professional photographer friend. The advice was this. "If you're going to buy a digital camera, buy one that's made by a camera ...
