Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Great Little Camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is great. I wanted something between an SLR and a small point and shoot so that I could easily take photos for my blogs that were high quality without having to lug around slr equipment.
This camera is great! While the automatic settings are nice, the manual settings are wonderful. I can manually adjust ISO and other features so that my photos come out right for every room and occassion.
There is some noise, but generally, it doesn't bother me. I don't plan on blowing anything up to poster size or anything.
I do mostly macro photography of food and I must say I am in love with the macro and especially the super macro. It's amazing for getting even the smallest details in high definition. This makes photographing food a complete breeze!
One of my favorite features of this camera is the flip around view screen. That makes it soo easy to take self portraits and photos with friends. No more holding your arm out and trying to snap a photo of yourself with a few friends and getting a picture of the side of someone's head.
Some thing that annoy me are that the view-finder is also a digital screen. Because of this I never use the view finder, it's just too distracting. Also, the lens cap pops off every time you look at it the wrong way, which, I understand the concept of... doesn't mean I have to like it though.
Overall, I really enjoy this camera. I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. I feel like anyone could take a great photo with this camera.
