The ultra-powerful 12x optical zoom on the PowerShot S5 IS means you'll get the shot you want with no compromise, yet that's only the beginning of what makes this camera so exciting. The S5 IS is loaded with many of Canon's latest advanced technologies including the DIGIC III Image Processor, so both still images and movies are rendered with fine detail and luminous clarity.

And you'll want to take it everywhere, because inside is a level of photographic power that's truly impressive. 8.0 megapixels ensure deeply detailed images - giving you complete freedom to enlarge an image or any section of an image and crop to your exact specifications. The 12x optical zoom brings this compact digital camera into the realm of serious photography. It has the power to take you right up onto the stage and into the end zone for the shot you really want. Zooming is fast and silent thanks to the ultrasonic motor drive.

Canon S5 IS - good but not a point and shoot:

Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
I bought a refurbished Canon Powershot S5 IS to save some $'s. I replaced a 3 yr old S2 IS. It developed some blurring on the left of the image in the last few months (other than that reliable as heck) and at over $150 for Canon to repair, it was time to upgrade. The S5 is basically just an upgrade from the earlier Powershot S2 and S3. Same lens, just more pixels and some additional features and functionality.... more info

Awesome Camera:

I researched Many digital cameras before deciding on the canon Power Shot S5 IS, I asked around to a lot of Hobby and professional photographers
and finally went and bought it, Loved it from day one, I stood on my porch zoomed in on a stop sign that was almost 2 blocks away, and took a picture, Was able to see the stop sign like I was standing right in front of it!, Did the same thing with my [...] Vivitar Vivicam couldn't even see what I took a picture of it was a big blur.

great:

This camera rocks. I bought it to take to Disney World and the pictures i took looked every bit as good as my old Canon AE1SLR. It is bigger than most point and shoots but it has all the features you might ever want to use, In fact is has more features that i will probably ever use. It is somewhere between a point and shoot and a SLR. The price cant be beat.

AMAZING CAMERA:

This camera takes amazingly clear pictures and fits your hand like a glove. The movable screen is very nice for when you need shots lower or higher since you don't have to bend down or find a stool to stand on. I could go on for a while explaining all the details, but all you need to know is that this is an amazing camera at an amazing price, and you will not be disappointed if you buy it.
