That doesn't make sense to me BUT considering I many times forget to take lens cap off before I turn it on, maybe it's just as well. It should really stay on better though. hey, anyone needing high speed SD cards, try Meritline-dot-com (not supposed to put addresses on here??. They have a 4GB Class 6 high speed card for $12.99 now! Great cards. I have three of them. The canon needs lots of card spaces IF you use the videos much like I do. They are large files.
Note to all who use cameras with AA batteries. When you purchase a charger, get a SLOW charger. Do not get one of those "quick chargers" because they are too hard on the batteries. To last longer and endure more use, batteries should be slowly charged - 6 hrs is pretty usual for set of 4. Advice passed on to ME by an "expert" in the field. I have the Canon S5 and it's incredible. But lens cap does not stay on and that is only complaint. Can't imagine why they didn't catch that problem!
if you look in Walmart at battery charges, some are QUICK CHARGERS and charge batteries in as little as 15 min. They "burn up" the batteries with these high, quick charges. It is better to get one of the other chargers there which take a few HOURS to charge the batteries. Slow charging is less damaging to the batteries and they will last longer. Make sure it is not a RAPID Charger or Quick Charger. It will tell you on package front.
all i hate with this camera is its great!its featured filled like DSLR thats why they call it semi pro.batteries? duh AA batteries are better than lithium ions..easier to find.
yes, very impressive zoom and close shots and I will be getting mine in a couple of wks. I had been going back and forth between the panasonic f18 and this one ,. The Panasonic does not zoom during movie mode. Also I already have the rechargable batt. and batt. charger from my cheapo cam, so that helped in my decision.
You can use the color accent mode to film in which is really cool if you are shooting a video with linked shots and need a special effect. Try it on a sunny day filming flowers. Looks really cool. Also, with the dual mics you get a great sound quality.
watch zhoom video "Canon s5 is Zoom video"

yes. youtube doesn't want everyone to have this code as it is reserved for high definition camcorders which is what this is used for.
if everyone added this code, youtube's bandwidth would be overloaded, which is not something a major corporation would want.

Wow! The quality is awesome. I was debating between this or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18. I think you just guaranteed the Canon. Thanks!
