cool As promised, cannon did a very nice job w/ this camera. my dad wants one!
Nice camera The camera takes great photos when using the AUTO setting. Some of the instructions for using other setting aren't as clear as they should be. After 3 weeks I still haven't figured out how to get it in the super close macro setting. Detail is great with the 8 MPs, zoom is really nice too. But, of course when you start getting up over 20X you really do need a tripod. I have found that the image stabilizer is great for me as I am getting older and not quite as steady as I used to be. All in all it is a great camera that should serve me well, just a little larger than what I wanted to be carrying around on trips though.
Great Camera It's a great camera for someone who wants a little more than a pocket size camera. It has a lot of features which at the beginning was a little overwhelming but it has a manual which is easy to follow. If you don't want to bother with all the settings the auto mode is very intuitive and helps to take a great photos first time you use it. My favorite option is the ability to extent exposure up to 15 sec which makes an awesome night picture. The other great thing is the ability to record movies with an impressive quality for a photo camera. Just have a 2 gb sd card.
BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE ACCURATE AS YOU CAN GET! This camera is the best camera I have ever owned and I have gotten comments on how great it is from many photography enthusiasts as well! I would highly recommend this camera for beginners and right on up to professional photographers. I am still playing with all the settings and experimenting and it is really easy and enjoyable learning. Thanks for offering such a great camera at such a reasonable price.
Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Excellent value. Occasionally a little slow to autofocus especially in low light. Zoom is easier to use than I believed based on other reviews. Also, if your careful you should have no problem with the battery cover. I agree the sd card should removable without opening the battery cover.
