Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
I bought a refurbished Canon Powershot S5 IS to save some $'s. I replaced a 3 yr old S2 IS. It developed some blurring on the left of the image in the last few months (other than that reliable as heck) and at over $150 for Canon to repair, it was time to upgrade. The S5 is basically just an upgrade from the earlier Powershot S2 and S3. Same lens, just more pixels and some additional features and ... Read More

I researched Many digital cameras before deciding on the canon Power Shot S5 IS, I asked around to a lot of Hobby and professional photographers
and finally went and bought it, Loved it from day one, I stood on my porch zoomed in on a stop sign that was almost 2 blocks away, and took a picture, Was able to see the stop sign like I was standing right in front of it!, Did the same thing with my [...] Vivitar Vivicam couldn't even see what I took a picture of it was a big blur.

Rating: - great
This camera rocks. I bought it to take to Disney World and the pictures i took looked every bit as good as my old Canon AE1SLR. It is bigger than most point and shoots but it has all the features you might ever want to use, In fact is has more features that i will probably ever use. It is somewhere between a point and shoot and a SLR. The price cant be beat.
Rating: - AMAZING CAMERA
This camera takes amazingly clear pictures and fits your hand like a glove. The movable screen is very nice for when you need shots lower or higher since you don't have to bend down or find a stool to stand on. I could go on for a while explaining all the details, but all you need to know is that this is an amazing camera at an amazing price, and you will not be disappointed if you buy it.
Rating: - upgrading (?) from and AE 1
I own and love a Canon AE 1 but have been looking at the digital camers if only to be shed of the negatives, developing, and all the rest that comes with a film camera. I would love to have been able to go to a digital SLR but that wasn't in the books this year so I started looking down the scale a bit.
Is the S3 IS an upgrade from a film 35mm AE 1 with a good assortment of lenses? After owning the S3 for six or seven months now and taken somewhere around a thousand pictures with it and, ... Read More
