Excellent buy, no problems here. Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Excellent camera at a hard to beat Newegg price! Very fast multiple shots. Fast auto focus. About two seconds from power-up to shooting the first frame (this is actually where the loose fitting lens cap is a plus as it pops off on power-up). Doesn't use proprietary batteries. Rechargeable NiMH AA's last for many hours. Videos are awesome! Stil...

Awesome Camera! Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This camera takes great photos and has a ton of features that I'm still discovering as I use it. Some folks have dogged the macro feature, but I think it works great. Video is also very good quality for the price and form factor. Rechargeable batteries work great and last longer than I expected.
Cons: Flash doesn't automat...

Love It! 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.

Love it! 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.

Has some great features All cameras are loaded with compromises, however the S5's impressive features outshine the drawbacks.
The S5 picture quality is very impressive. Shots tend to be well exposed. Image stabilization keeps blurred images to a minimum. A complete novice could use this camera "out of the box" and product a high percentage of "keeper" photos.
Lens quality is impressive. The S5 has a looong zoom range from 36 to 422mm - which should suffice for most situations. Too bad the...

Flash broke after almost immediately Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: I don't have any pros because the flash broke almost directly out of the box.
Cons: I purchased this camera for a specific indoor, out of town event and prior to the event, I made sure everything worked and it was fine. While at the event, after taking one photo, the flash broke. Now I have to ship it, at my expense to have it fixed by Canon. Needless to say, I cannot recommend th...

If you are not ready for a DSLR but want the best, get this! I bought this camera to replace my expensive ($[...] new) but out-of-date Olympus Camedia C-5050. The "typical" current price of the S5 IS camera is $[...] but many places are now selling it for $[...]. I got mine at Circuit City (local) for that price.
This camera does extremely well right out of the box, but with just a little tweaking (as in, "read the manual" or purchase a digital photography book) it produces outstanding photographs! I bought this book , which is a good genera...

Very good camera Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I'm an amature at best when it comes to photography. This camera is my first non pocket sized camera. The zoom is great. Video is very good, 640 x 480 @ 30 fps and stereo sound. Macro mode is cool especially for insect pics. Battery life is incredible, I've used camera's with Li Ion batteries and they all needed to be recharched 60 to 120 photos, ...

Cannon PowerShot S5 IS This is a great product. The pictures and videos are at a professional level. It is simple to use and with Cannons track record I don't know how you can go wrong.
