7.4 out of 10 (Very good)
“Though it remains a good megazoom, thanks to continued image and lens artifacts, the Canon PowerShot S5 IS is slowly losing ground to competitors.”

Canon Powershot S5is Review

“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'.”

“Bottom line - As we have said with all of the S5's predecessors (S1 IS, S2 IS, S3 IS), I was very impressed with Canon's latest addition to their awesome line of Prosumer models.”

“While not perfect, the Canon PowerShot S5 IS is still one of the best ultra zooms on the market. It offers a nice blend of photo quality, performance, and features that appeal to both beginners and enthusiasts.”
