Excellent shots with fine tuning and practice

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: Novices will find a challenge, Intermediates will find a good blend with options, and Advanced users should consider the overall package. ALL will enjoy the excellent image quality.
Review: "Read the book!" has never been my favorite thing to hear, but in the case of the Canon PowerShot S1 IS, it's certainly worth consideration if you want to enjoy your camera and get shots worth keeping.

I am a novice to intermediate digital...

Great While it Lasted, but it only lasted 5 months

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: I recommend that anyone considering Canon products should be aware that Canon will not service their flawed product.
Review: When I bought the PowerShot S5 IS at Christmas time, I really thought I had done my homework. It took great pictures and took pictures with great speed. Additionally, it had great focal range, snapping sharp pictures even at a good distance. My...

Canon S1 IS

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: Great photos, excellent features, ultra-zoom and IS.
Review: I purchased this camera about a week ago. I previously owned the Minolta DiMAGE Z1, but was unhappy with that camera's flaws (such as very bad chromatic aberration, and audio/video out of sync). On paper, the Z1 was great, but my experience was less...

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: A very good camera with a lot of extra components that will not disappoint.
Review: After numerous attempts to bring my parents into the digital world, I think I have finally succeeded. I failed a few years ago with a Sony digital camera that they could not quite figure out how to use and have succeeded only modestly with regards...

Canon PowerShot S5 IS Digital Camera - I Am Selling It On eBay

Date of Review:  Jul 8, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is an excellent choice if you need a camera with 12x optical zoom and optical image stabilization. But you can save...
Review: 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...

The Canon Powershot S5 IS The Mega-Zoom wars heat up

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Canon Powershot S5 IS provides most of the flexibility of a dSLR while retaining all of the convenience and ease of use of a P&S digicam.
Review: Photography has been my obsession for more than thirty years, so I'm a very lucky guy - I get to test lots of nifty new digital cameras. The only problem is that I have to send the cameras back when my tests are finished. Usually that's not too...

Canon Powershot S1 IS, Great Camera

Date of Review:  Feb 9, 2005
Review: I got this camera as a birthday present and I have been extremely impressed.

The picture quality is awesome and it responds pretty quickly to taking pictures.

I had an old HP camera which I thought did well but after getting this...

Great camera for the money

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2004
Review: Fantastic zoom lets you compose now optically without cropping later with a loss in clarity.

Has image stabilization which is necessary for close zooms and shaky hands. Good video clips (with a large memory card).

Easy to use on...

Good camera - recommended

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2005
Review: You can point and shoot with this camera, or go manual and be creative. Many options to choose from, once you get the hang of the menus and buttons. Manual is very detailed and it doesn't take long to figure things out. Video capture is excellent...
