Summary: powershot s5 is, chromnatic aberation
Comment: I'm really pleased with my purchase, the powershot s5 is easy to use and takes great pictures. The only problem that I have found is chromatic aberation. Chromatic aberation is when bright areas of the picture will give a blueish or magenta tint on the edge of bright objects. It is very small and managed by haveing the same contrast over the whole picture. Other that that I am very pleased with my purchase. My daughter wants to take away from me. I like the controls and all the functins, they make shooting in diferent situations easy. The camaera feel solid in my hands.

Summary: Canon S5 IS
Comment: The lens cap is not tight enough, very often it gets detached from body.
The battery cover is not good. It takes a lot of effort to close the battery case.

Summary: Powerful Zoom, Easy to Use, not as heavy as an SLR
Comment: I have been using Canon Powershot cameras for a number of years now. I've had the S400, S500, SD550, SD800IS, and now have the SD870IS. I have been extremely happy with every single one of them. I now wanted something with a longer zoom lens and considered the SX100 Canon before going ahead and buying the S5IS (read the SX100 has poor battery life). A friend at work showed me pictures he took with his S3 IS (telephoto moon shots, etc.) and I was very impressed. At first I thought this camera looked a little busy, maybe difficult to use but it was not. I actually like it very much. It looks a little busy because the buttons you need the most are on the camera, not hidden inside a bunch of menus. The zoom range is incredible. I can photograph a satellite dish on a house from almost 2 blocks away. There is a lot of camera shake at that zoom level but the IS feature seems to take care of that because the photos are sharp. Having shutter and aperture priority is also a very nice feature, along with the auto setting. The SuperMacro feature is also very nice as I take a lot of close up shots of plant life, coins, jewelry, etc. The menu system is typical Canon Powershot. Once you've learned one you won't have any problem moving to this camera. I have taken over 125 shots already with lots of flash and zoom use, with my first set of Duracell alkaline batteries and no sign of dead batteries yet. I bought some rechargeable Energizer's but have not used them yet. I wouldn't call this a great camera, but it sure is pretty darn nice and a pleasure to use. I also appreciate that it doesn't way a ton like other cameras this size. My Canon powershot will be used as my in pocket carry everywhere camera. This S5IS I plan to use for sporting events like baseball and boxing, and will also be taking it along on an upcoming cruise to Alaska. By the way, we have taken thousands of photos with our Canon Powershots and not one of them has ever failed us in any way (knock on wood). That's why I'm sticking to Canon.

The ultra-powerful 12x optical zoom on the PowerShot S5 IS means you'll get the shot you want with no compromise, yet that's only the beginning of what makes this camera so exciting. The S5 IS is loaded with many of Canon's latest advanced technologies including the DIGIC III Image Processor, so both still images and movies are rendered with fine detail and luminous clarity. And now ambitious photographers have even greater creative latitude thanks to an included hot shoe adapter that allows you to attach Canon Speedlite EX Series external flashes.
