 Nice camera July 23, 2008
R. Gust (Big Bay, Michigan)
The camera takes great photos when using the AUTO setting. Some of the instructions for using other setting aren't as clear as they should be. After 3 weeks I still haven't figured out how to get it in the super close macro setting. Detail is great with the 8 MPs, zoom is really nice too. But, of course when you start getting up over 20X you really do need a tripod. I have found that the image stabilizer is great for me as I am getting older and not quite as steady as I used to be. All in all it is a great camera that should serve me well, just a little larger than what I wanted to be carrying around on trips though.
 Great Camera July 22, 2008

It's a great camera for someone who wants a little more than a pocket size camera. It has a lot of features which at the beginning was a little overwhelming but it has a manual which is easy to follow. If you don't want to bother with all the settings the auto mode is very intuitive and helps to take a great photos first time you use it. My favorite option is the ability to extent exposure up to 15 sec which makes an awesome night picture.
The other great thing is the ability to record movies with an impressive quality for a photo camera. Just have a 2 gb sd card.
BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT! ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE ACCURATE AS YOU CAN GET! July 22, 2008
Angie (Michigan)
This camera is the best camera I have ever owned and I have gotten comments on how great it is from many photography enthusiasts as well! I would highly recommend this camera for beginners and right on up to professional photographers. I am still playing with all the settings and experimenting and it is really easy and enjoyable learning.
Thanks for offering such a great camera at such a reasonable price.

Albert Hall (CT USA)
Excellent value. Occasionally a little slow to autofocus especially in low light. Zoom is easier to use than I believed based on other reviews. Also, if your careful you should have no problem with the battery cover. I agree the sd card should removable without opening the battery cover.
Great Camera! July 14, 2008
Jason D. Mcmillan (Bremerton, WA USA)
I purchased this camera about 3 months ago and have been blown away with its capabilities. Its got a fast focus time, takes great low light photos and the zoom is more than I expected.
There is only one thing I can say bad about the camera, and its not a real big deal. The lens cap does come off far too easily. I have a habit of mistreating my cameras, even when I try to take care of them, and the lens cap is something I rely on to help me take care of the camera. There needs to be a tighter, stronger lens cap. There is a good thing about the lens cap popping off so easily though. If you have to get ready to shoot quickly, as soon as you turn the camera on, the cap pops off and you are ready to go.
The S5IS has great features and is ergonomically designed. I have cubby hands and it still feels comfortable when I hold it. The dials and buttons are all easy to get to. This is really the camera I wish I had with me years ago.
