  • How do you set the LCD screen to be free of any information when you review the photos that were just taken?

  • how much could cost additional lenses.. fish eye for example?

  • When I take pics the time is on the camera, but when I upload the pics the timestamp is gone. How do I keep the time on my pics?

  • HELLPPP!!! I have this camera and absolutely love it! But I have a question. How do you make the shutter stay open long, so I can get a picture like he had with the head lights? Please HELLLLPPPPP SOOONNN!!!

  • i have one of these and it wont turn on any more can someone please help me?

  • everything went fine but the Poor VGA Video quality made me sell it , got $280. buying SX130 instead, less features, 2x better video, for half price.

  • If you want to see some pictures taken from this camera check my only video ! I made it just for you guys (:

  • Comment removed

  • you talk too fast

  • i cant find this camera anywhere and really want it!!

  • This video uploaded when I become 12

    Now I'm 14

  • i know i may sound really stupid for asking this,

    but could i still buy one of these cameras at a wal mart or something?

    because this video is from 2007,

    and i know with iPods, after a year they stop selling a version, and come out with a new one,

    so i'm just wondering if they do that with these cameras too?

    if they're still being sold, about how much would it cost?

  • i got on of this on xmas but unfortunately it was stolen from my bag before using it

  • @TheKawaiiMew not a dick move a smart one! my neighbore told me that he had 2 others and that he & my other neighbore just broke them for fun! so i actually saved cameron(my canon) .^__^.

  • @TheKawaiiMew

  • i've had this camera for a while now and i've always absolutely loved it. lately i have been trying to figure out how to do time lapse videos or stop motions but i can not figure out how to set a continuous timer. anyone want to help a girl out??

  • hi all,

    i have canon s5is, and it is the best simi-pro camera

    zooming, pic quality and options are just GREAT.

    Also there's two lights , one green and the other one is red , it is calculating the distans & adjusting the focus automaticaly. Eazy to use :)

    you can get adaptors + PL\UV...etc filters+macro\4 size's of micro and fish eye lenses+2X or 3X telephone lens for S5IS in the market with low price

    i will never change my Canon S5IS :)

  • I have one of these and am still trying to figure out what the best mode for shooting videos is. 

  • My first camera was an S3 IS (this guy's older brother) and it taught me SOOO much about photography! Whenever I talk to anyone who wants to get into photography I tell them to get a Powershot first. :) It totally prepared me for my DSLR!

  • This is Awesome camera. I just love it.

  • i hate how these reviewers always say 12 "X" rather than 12 times...

  • I love it but the picture quality is not as good as my S2 IS.

  • nice camera

  • I have this camera but im having problems with it. I film a lot of video with it. But when I plug it into computers to transfer, a lot of the time It will mess up and cant transfer. on some PCs it works, others it doesnt. Sometimes I can see the removable disk and just drag the pics and vids i want but other times it gives me those photo importing things and those never work. Does it depend on the SD card or is it the camera ?

  • Good size sensor??? isn't the 1\2,5 the smallest size???

  • this was honestly the BEST camera to learn photography on. the s5 camera was revolutionary to me.

    1) flip screen

    2) SUPER MACRO

    3) External hot shoe

    4) 3rd party software for free!: CHDK

    5) zooming while video

    <$300.

    6) raynox 250 = ultimate macro adapter.

    thanks for all the good times s5. i will always remember the amazing times we had together

  • @c2thew I agree, I'm currently learning :)

  • the best POINT & SHOOT i had!

  • Nice camera....

  • Learn how to use a camera.

  • i'm sorry but, i really hate this camera, its annoys me so much

    no blurry pictures my ass >8/

    yeah the pictures are good when you get em right, but i just prefer Canon EOS 450/500

    I apologise for my complaining

  • i got the 500,very good camera,i never need a new one!

  • Don't apologise, not everyone can use a camera.

  • hey i like the camera...i want 2 learn more about photography and take really good quality pictures..but my question is what kind of camera should i get 2 get really quality pics and also take really good quality videos...especially sound quality... ( i go to a lot of rock concert) SO YEAH!!,....i love taking pictures and videos of the concert so if you could help me!! that would be GREAT!!

  • it runs on aa batteries right? darn! i wish they run this with Li-ion...

  • THANK YOU!!! I accidentally took some videos last weekend at a party and didn't know why. Hey -- I didn't even know this camera HAD that function. I wanted to take more videos tonight, so now I know what I pushed to record a video. Great YouTube posting.

  • What is the function of the wheel on the left side of the viewfinder?

  • It focuses the viewfinder if you are using viewfinder as your viewer and not the screen.

  • Oh, I see. Thank you!

  • its the iris

  • focusing the display on the viewfinder

  • Yes, I now know. Thank you!

  • i just picked this up @ my work for 57 bucks (CND). it went on 75% off and if it wasnt sold by friday they were going to ship it away probably to get thrown out. so this is my new toy and i know nothing about cameras lol.... guess its time to start reading :(

  • It's VERY rare that I watch a product review where the person gets it all right. Logan nailed it on the head here. I've owned this camera for nearly two years, and I love it to death. Every single word and topic that Logan showed here is accurate and doing an overview of this amazing product in 8 minutes was great. I will tell people that you should really buy this camera and the advanced features and quality WILL rival the digital SLRs out on the market!

  • I just bought this camera for 260 used! what a deal i cant wait to get!!!!!

  • You got a great deal then. I bought mine when they first came out a couple of years ago, and it's an AWESOME camera. I love it and use it everyday for my photography. I take about 2000 pictures a week, and it's extremely reliable.

  • how much !!!

    u can add a fish eye on that right and other thing like the fish eye right ??? HELP and how much ??

  • sales talk.

  • what is better if im taking photography canon S5 is or a nikon D60

  • You forgot to mention the 48x digital zoom.

  • There is a reason for that. Although a lot of companies try to push the digital zoom in their products as a big selling point....it's not. The most important zoom in ANY device such as a camera, video recorder, telescope etc. is the Optical Zoom. The higher the better in Optical zoom, and you will get pure clarity if the lens is of decent quality. Digital zoom is useless in most cases. It's not a true zoom because it enlarges the image by adding pixels that aren't really there...adding noise.

  • isn't the nikon p90 better ?

  • does this camera have a webcam function witha michrophone ?

  • how can I configure it to make 1 pic like every 60 secs?

  • Install the CHDK software onto your camera's memory card. The Scripting you need is called an "intervelometer". Just search for CHDK... there's heaps on info on how to set it up.

  • i want this camera! im saving up for it. and i masking for the sx-70 sonar poloroid camera for my bday.

  • how much is it? thanks :)

  • If you want a camera get Samsung NV100HD. It brilliant,

  • how much does it cost?

  • Ain't that the truth.

  • @KishhFlick free if you follow my comment! :D

  • @KishhFlick got mine used for 300.00 new they can be around 475.00

  • ive this camera (S5 IS). how can i take pics of sunset, moon or street pics in night. i dont really know how to use manual mode. can u plz tell me something. thanks :)

  • Hey what camera would you sugest olympus e410 or canon s5 and if the canon s5 should i upgrade sx10 and is it worth it if u can get back to me that would be great

  • the Canon sx10 is canonmakes great lens.

  • this guy is kinda annoying...

  • i agree... -_- but, i love the camera so it is okay XD

  • Great video review by Logan. I've owned this camera since November '07 and I truly love it. It takes amazing pictures, and I never leave home without it! :) I strongly recommend this for anyone looking for a digital camera. I paid full price when I bought it, but the price has come down drastically over time. Go grab one up!

  • SAfsafafAFASFDasfF

  • 36mm is not wide by the standards of the newest models.

    At least you can now get RAW activated on the camera via CHDK.

  • This, or Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50?

    i've been debating for the past couple days, and still haven't made up my mind.

  • why don't you wait for Sony HX-1?

  • Well, I didn't realize they were coming out with a newer model lol.

    When is it being put out?

    The thing is, if the specs aren't that much better for the HX-1 than the DSC-H50, I may as well get the H50 because it'll be much cheaper once the HX-1 comes out.

  • i am not sure when will HX1 be on sale but i am sure it will be selling higher price then H50,you can search for sony HX1 at youtube,it have some cool new functions that i like.

    see the new HX1 functions first before you decide then next camera purchase :)

  • the canon Powershot S5 IS is good for day time pictures, but not so much night time. The sony cyber-shot DSC-H50 is good for night time photos, but not so much day time... i like the canon S5 IS better! i am saving up for it ^^

  • Hi, i'd like to know how is the video recordng? is it with audio too? or just video?.. and why canon make this cameras with that kind of bateries and not with a litio one? don't u think is better?

  • Yes it Records in Stereo Audio [Most Cameras only do Mono...] The Video is pretty good. I use it for my videos on my main account.

  • UhuH

  • HELP! Ok... If i get some rechargeable batteries, can i charge them through the camera? (If i just plug the camera into the wall, will the batteries charge?)

  • Downtown?

    Donwtown what, Hicksville?

  • WHICH POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA SHOULD I BUY AROUND 180-220EURO ???? PowerShot SX 110 IS OR FUJIFILM F 100FD IS BETTER??? GIVE ME SOME HELP AND IDEAS THNX

  • type 370157830255 in the ebay search box for the new, revolutionary, compact, cutting edge 9 in 1 youtube camcorder. a must own for all youtubers! it has many bids on it already. dont let it get away. take a look at my profile and video presentation about this amazing technological revolution. come take a look, you'll be glad you did!

  • This or an a 450D? I prefer this one but I know the other one is better :/

    Can't decide.

  • 450D for sure :)

  • If the movie mode is not a must for you, i'd definitely say 450D. the s5 is crap when you compare it to 450D

  • how are the videos?

  • he is sooo talkative

  • lol

  • is this good for taking vids of me playing guitar or playing guitar hero?

    hows the sound?

  • This is more of an advertisement, rather than a review. Kinda disappointing.

  • he lost aloot of waight!! WTF?!?

  • I got a Canon Powershot A470 it can zoom

    3.4X Optical Zoom

  • I have this camera.

    ^.^

    It's nice.

  • i have this cam and its realy uncredible amazing

    i love this cam i whont no other one

  • youshare . com - upload your mp3s, videos, pictures, and files for free!

  • sorry, it should be an answer to the question from GCVos. he wrote "S6 anybody?". 3 months ago (page 4). But thank you.

    Do you know how I can find out which camera is successor of the other? The names and numbers of Canon cameras are so wired...

  • Canon intorduced the SX10. :)

  • Logan is always an excellent presenter..

  • good camera, but too much noise

    :s

  • can you use this camera as a webcam ?....

  • I've had this camera since june and i didn't even know half of this stuff was on it haha great video!

  • i bought an s5 a month ago.... i love it:D

  • a very good review. Explained the scene modes..nice camera

  • HOW CAN I DO TIME LAPSE,can anyone help?? I`ve tryed everything.

  • Hi !

    I have a s5is as well. I did something like a scotch tape on top of the release with a little plastic ball in the middle. It works. I think you have to use a quick sd card . Hope it helps you and take care

    Gasteraner

  • the S5 IS doesn't have a time lapse fucntion.

  • I noticed you can only use AA batteries for this camera, how long do they last for you? Also, is there by chance a lithium battery that might fit it?

  • i use NiMH batts. with those it depends on the mah (milliampere hours) i get about 500-700 photos from a good set of 2700maH batts. some good ones that dont loose charge when stored are the sanyo Eneloop. they are $8 for 4 AA's, but you can get cheaper ones for 2 or $3 for a set.

  • i used to think this camera sucked, but now its pretty good, since ive been using it for a while.

  • does anyone know how long the video can record for?

  • depends on the mem card do you have..

  • how long can it record?

    It depends on the size of the SD card you have installed. At 60 FPS (frames per second) you burn 2mb a second so 33 min clip at highest res. will fill up a 4 gig card, and you can go down to 30fps at a resolution of 320x240 at the low end and 3264x2448 on the large end. at 320x240 and 30fps a 1min clip is 48 megs, when converted to flv it is arround 7 megs. here is a clip i made on the S5, then converted to FLV. it is indoors and in low light.

  • How good is this camera for a beginner-intermediate photographer?

  • This camera is great for a beginner-intermediate photographer, It has tons or features, and has manual modes to mess arround with. This camera is cost effective, but will still allow you the flexability of a DSLR.

  • It's a decent camera, nothing really that special about it besides 12x optical zoom.

  • man do i wish this was an slr...

  • i got the camera like 6 months ago and i regret buying it i think the quality of the pictures suck

  • so im guessing this camera is only good for myspace pictures

    not photography

  • hi can i ask what the best p80 or s5?

  • I was SO close to buying this camera...I instead bought a Nikon D40 and thank God I did so.

  • i have Canon Power Shot G9 which is coolness!i love it!! it is awesome!! guys go and buy it!

  • How do u do a time lapse ? anybody plz

  • He explains it in the video... put it in manual shutter speed mode and set it to 2-3 second shutter speed.

  • Thank you. for ansewring me =p ..

  • plz tell me how did u do the night shot picture.. when the cars went by quickly ?? plz reply as soon as possible THANKUUUU

  • to do so, you have to put the camera on a stable ground and use a shutter speed of over 2 sec. (use manual mode for this) i've never tried to shot a picture like this but i want to do! =/

  • Is there any newer version to this model

    or a step up anyone can recomend

    anyone knows more about it

    Plz do comment

  • probably one of the best cams i´ve ever used

  • i own S5 IS now! :)

    *wink-wink*

  • Save yourself some money, I have a S2IS only difference I see from this camera and the S2IS is this is 8MP and the S2 is 5MP. S2 is a great camera for the money(now), i bought mine in 2006 new for 350 bucks. You can get a S2 for about 200 bucks now.

  • Yea.. great features but I want an SLR

    And the Worst thing about s5 is that it Takes AA Batteries

    There should be Compatible Rechargable Long life Batteries

  • I heard there making a newer version in the fall.

  • S6 anybody?

  • Is there a S6 at all? I've never heard about it...

  • The next is SX10 IS

    S1 IS -> S2 IS -> S3 IS->S5 IS-> SX10 IS

  • SX10 is awesome! HD video!

  • Isn't that the SX1 wich records videos in HD?

  • Wait, I guess you are right. The SX1 does record full HD 1080p video. So there are two new cameras. SX1 and SX10

  • yes, I compared these two cameras a few days ago ;)

  • made or released?

  • wow great review learned alot.. =]

  • i cant wait for getting the money i need for this camera!!!

  • awesome review

  • The Colorswap stuff, if you do it on the computer itself, it doesn't take long if you know what to do. It takes me like .. 1-2 minutes.

    But this camera is cool lol

  • this guy is a huge tool

  • i swear the speed he talks hes on some sort of drugs :P

  • look at his hair, wtf is this guy thinking? and if this camera has more features then his DSLR then he needs to upgrade and his dslr sucks.

  • Great review!

  • Just a little correction, the video is

    LIMA PERU(PARTE I),II,etc,

    Sorry, i´ve just changed the name.

    Bye

  • Is there a "fix" for the lens cap problem or at least something to help?

  • ok i just unpacked and turned on this camera.. ran outside took some pictures and when i looked at them on the computer the picture quality sucked hard.. anyone no how to get it better? :S my Sony Ericsson K800i mobile phone with 3.1MP takes better pictures :/
