Canon S5 IS Professional Reviews:
- ephotozine Reviewed the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”I really like this camera. The results that I got are very good which I have to admit is not just my amazing talent. I am a little undecided on Canon’s decision to make the video mode so high profile as this is specifically a still imaging machine and even with the upgrade to the video clip limit, it is not designed for video. I’m still not a great believer in a high performance cameras taking AA batteries, but there are many batteries about that have high capacity these days, so cannot really deride the camera because of it.”
- digitalcamerainfo Reviewed the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”The S5 is still a great hybrid digital camera. It takes excellent video with stereo audio, and its 12x optical zoom and image stabilization are functional. If only the pictures were as good. The burst mode lags at 1.5 fps, the autofocus isn’t as quick as its DSLR-like body suggests, and noise renders some images nearly unusable. There are better options for the price.”
- luminous-landscape Reviewed the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”The S5 IS is also, I might add, a great instrument for amateurs looking to step-up in the digital world from a cheesy point-and-shoot, or to ditch that old film SLR and can’t quite face the time and expense commitment of DSLR technology. The creative modes, compensations settings, and hot shoe open doors to solid lessons in photography, and the long zoom with image stabilization presents situational versatility that’s hard to beat. One job of professional photographers is to help encourage new artists; the S5 IS is an economical vector for such people.”

Steves-digicams Review the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”All of the features on S5 IS add up to a prosumer camera worth your consideration. They noted the camera was not only fast, its image quality was excellent.Bottom Line: In the competitive super zoom category this camera is tough to beat. Factor in the reasonable price tag and terrific performance Canon has a winner.”
photoreview Review the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”It’s a pity Canon didn’t provide raw file capture as an option in the S5 IS because this camera offers most of the controls and functions that keen photographers require. It is also compatible with a wide range of accessories, including add-on flash units and conversion lenses. Movie recording is excellent – provided you have a fast, high-capacity memory card.”
DCRP Review the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”While not perfect, the Canon PowerShot S5 IS is still one of the best ultra zooms on the market. It offers a nice blend of photo quality, performance, and features that appeal to both beginners and enthusiasts. I can recommend the S5 to just about anyone interested in an ultra zoom camera. If you’re a PowerShot S3 owner wondering if you should upgrade, I would only say “yes” if you need the hot shoe and longer movie recording times. Otherwise, stick with what you have!”
- cnet.co.uk Reviewed the Canon PowerShot S5 IS and gave out”Like any superzoom, the S5 IS boasts an impressive focal range within compact dimensions — the theory being that it won’t matter that you can’t swap lenses, this will be all you’ll ever need. For those who don’t need the bells and whistles of a dSLR, the video mode with stereo sound, plus vari-angle LCD, are a real boon”
