Review: Great Point And Shoot Camera With Great Telephoto Lens

I used this camera in Prague along with my Leica D-luxE. Great travel partners. The camera is a trooper and functions very well at night and in he early morning. The 2X function of the telephoto functions very well for close ups. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who likes to have a multifunction point and shoot camera. It is extremely reliable and quite compact. I have not tried the movie function but did get an 8GB memory card and will try it in my next photography cruise to Alaska.  [↑]

Review: Don't Buy A Canon

I have a Powershot S2IS and it is now pretty much useless and I'm not the only one with the problem.
Evidently there was problem in the S1 model which Canon issued a recall on. But not the S2 though it is the same problem. I have to slap my battery case flap shut to just take ONE pic. Canon refuses to address the issue. It is a recurring one in multiple models I believe. They keep coming out with new versions of the same problem. I have totally sworn off Canon.  [↑]

Review: Good While It Lasted

The camera was great until the "Lens Error, Restart Camera" aka "e18 Error" killed the camera five months in. Canon will not fix the camera. Canon has a reliability and customer support issue, it seems. I would not recommend any Canon at this time.

If you doubt that this is an issue (and obviously a couple of you do), Google "e18 error" for yourself. I'm not the only one. [↑]

Review: Canon S5 Is

Great little camera that does so much. Like all the features with the exception of the fact that the lens cap doesn't stay on like I would like it to. Maybe it's just me. Movies are excellent and the eight megapixel pictures are easy to work with. With the four gig card I put in, I can shoot a thousand pictures and over an hour of movies.

Worth the money I paid.

Review: Almost Good Enough

The camera had many features I wanted in a digital such as fast shooting and adjustable focus while shooting videos. But there were too many things about it that I did not like. Some of there are it was very bulky, the buttons were awkard to use and worst of all, it took too many blurry pictures. It was not packaged very well and was sliding around in the box that it was shipped in from Amazon. The $20.00 book and memory card were packaged better. That was disappointing, I would have expected Amazon to take more precautions with expensive electronics. The low review cannot be completely attributed to the camera at this time because of the poor packaging and potential damage it received while in transit.  [↑]
