The S5 IS is a very nice little camera with plenty of range and possibilities as a 3rd camera for pros who want something eminently portable when the full-size beasts don’t fit in. Learn the image quality and viewfinder limitations and you’ve got a new sliver bullet for niche problems.

At first glance, the PowerShot S5 doesn't look a whole lot different than its predecessor. But if you look closer, you'll notice that the LCD has grown from 2.0" to 2.5", and that a hot shoe has magically appeared on the top of the camera. Canon also stuffed an 8 Megapixel sensor into the S5, compared to 6 Megapixel on the S3. Everything else is about the same, and that's a good thing.

The S5 IS is a great camera, one we really enjoyed using, and one that produces decent output shot after shot thanks to a responsive focus system, accurate exposure, vibrant (but natural) color and a decent image stabilization system.
