DP Review just posted a review of the Canon PowerShot S5 IS. Overall the review is positive with the reviewer stating, “the PowerShot S5 IS is probably, just, the pick of the super zoom bunch at this moment in time, because it offers reliable output, responsive performance and an impressive feature set in an attractive, easy to use package that makes photography fun; not because it offers better IQ.” However the site goes on to states, “it is crying out for a better sensor, wider lens and for Canon to move the SD card slot back out from the battery compartment, but I’d still rather take it out shooting than the Sony, Olympus or Fuji alternatives. The output (with fringing and noise issues) simply isn’t good enough to earn the S5 IS an unqualified ‘Highly Recommended’ rating, but it’s an easy ‘Recommended’.”
So if you are in the market for a digital camera, which incorporates elements from both compact cameras and digital SLR’s, consider this camera which DP Review considers the best among Mega Zoom Cameras.
