Product Description

Product Description

High performance optics

A powerful 12x optical zoom lens features Canon’s renowned optical Image Stabilizer technology to counteract camera shake. An Ultrasonic Motor (USM) ensures fast and near-silent operation1. UD lens technology and SuperSpectra coating reduce chromatic aberrations, flare and ghosting for sharp images with superb colour accuracy.

Resolution

An 8.0 Megapixel sensor captures the fine detail in every scene, enabling you to crop or enlarge images and create large-scale prints.

Extensive movie options

Shoot 30fps VGA quality movies with stereo sound, or record QVGA movies at 60fps and analyse in sharp slow motion. Make full resolution stills while recording with the Photo in Movie feature.

DIGIC III with iSAPS

Canon's DIGIC III processor provides lightning quick responses, superb image quality and advanced noise reduction for cleaner images at high ISO speeds. iSAPS technology analyses each scene to optimise key camera settings even before a shot is taken.

Face Detection Technology

Face Detection AF/AE/FE ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting up to 9 faces in the frame and selecting the optimum focus, exposure and flash settings. In Movie mode, Face Detection AF/AE achieves accurate exposure and focus even when the subject is moving towards or away from the camera.

Red-Eye Correction

During playback Face Detection Technology allows you to quickly and accurately correct red-eye.

Sharp low light shooting

Shoot improved images in dim conditions with ISO 1600 - ideal in galleries or museums where flash photography is prohibited. Use Auto ISO Shift to avoid image blur with the touch of a button whenever camera shake is predicted.

Extra large vari-angle LCD

The 2.5" high-resolution vari-angle LCD lets you frame from challenging angles and share playback with friends. Night Display mode enhances screen visibility after dark.

Shooting modes and My Colors

A choice of 22 shooting modes includes Manual mode for creative control and 0cm Super Macro mode for extreme close-ups. Apply in-camera colour effects to images and movies with My Colors.

Accessories


A comprehensive range of accessories including lens hood and wide/tele/close-up converter lenses. A hotshoe on the PowerShot S5 IS enables the use of selected Canon Speedlite flashes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb camera, fantastic service, 27 Jul 2007
By Mr. Paul Alderson "Rebel45" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Without doubt, this is the best compact camera I have come across - I normally use a Canon EOS-1nHS film camera, and have despite trying many digital items, have never found one I wanted to own.
This is much better, with handling similar to a top-notch SLR, superb quality images, lots of different settings, and if you have any knowledge of how a camera works, it is possible to start using it without even looking at the instructions!
You can also set up features as shortcuts, if you find the need to used something that is not instantly available (which I would guess is pretty unlikely)
The zoom has an excellent 12x range, and even the digital zoom (which extends it to 48x) gives good quality images.
Definitely highly recommended and a good complement to the EOS system, if you can't be bothered to carry everything around or you're limited for space.
Amazon delivery was lightning quick, box arrived before 8am (1pm promised) on day after I placed order.
Product and service, both definitely 5 stars! Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just such a good camera, 21 Jul 2007
By BruceB (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
  
I have a Canon IXUS 750 already that goes everywhere with me but I need more control for portraits and differential focusing. I started looking at Digital SLRs and rejected them on weight and lack of video [video on this camera and on the IXUS 750 is better than camcorder standard].

I was initially put off the Canon as one review said the SD card could not be loaded directly into a PC - that the USB link always had to be used. This is not so.

I spent a week comparing Olympus SP-550, Lumix DMC-FZ8 and Canon S5 IS reviews. The feel of the Canon was just so much nicer than the others, so I ordered it from Amazon and 21 hours later it was in my hand. Fantastic service as always.

Results on super macro and long focus and video are outstanding. Handling is super. Only quibble is the battery compartment which has a really fiddly open/close - for me. Otherwise I wonder why I even looked at the other cameras - this is the first camera I have found to be better than my venerable Canon A-1 35mm SLR.

5.0 out of 5 stars Splendid Value!, 5 Sep 2007
By V. WILLIAMS "veejaydubya" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I reviewed no end of cameras but this one jumped out at me. Amazon had the camera plus a case and a charger with NiMH batteries in my hands within hours of ordering. 2700mAH rechargeables last very well.

Yes, of course, SD cards above 2GB become SDHC cards and need to be used with inexpensive USB readers sometimes supplied in the same pack as the card itself.

I don't have a problem with the battery door mechanism myself, the unlock latch is larger than on some similar devices I have owned so I can unflip the door quite easily with my thumb.

I bought this camera to take images and video to end up on web sites not art galleries. If I needed a camera for the latter reason I would buy a high-end SLR but it meets and exceeds my requirements for the former very well indeed.

Video recording is easy, just push a button and shoot. Stereo sound is recorded and you can preselect auto or manual level control. Yes you can take a photo during video recording but it will trigger a pause in the video so use this feature as appropriate for the result you need.

The camera feels comfortable and the pivoting display is very useful. I was able to use it straight out of the box with scant regard to the basic printed manual. Further in-depth manuals are provided in PDF format on a CD for further study. The menus are logical and easy to navigate. I am growing more comfortable with this camera the more I use it.

Like I said, "Splendid Value!".
