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.”
