You may think you have found the prefect digital camera with a Canon Powershot Pro Series S5. Especially if your looking for somethuing more than the basic ponit and shoot, but something less than a complicated and at the expoense of digital SLR cameras. But there are good chances of our wrongs. Canon usually makes some pretty nice digtal cameras, but for some reason, they experieced serious miscues desiggn with PwerShot S5 Pro Seriies.
Image noise is a serious drawback in the Pro Series Camera S5. Frearing bucking a growing consuer trend toqward more megapixels, Canon, unofrtunately, built S5 with more megapixels than the imae sensor can hanndle. Several years ago, was effective megapixels criterion for assessing the value in digial cameras. This time, however, passed. If your planning on blowing your hpotos up to poster size, anyuthing over 5 or 6 megapxiels is unnecessary. Or even worse, since in this case serioous detractor image quality with the introoduction of too much noise images for cameras in this price rage.
Problems of red-eye sholud be really gone into any cell more than $ 200 in those days. It seems that the S5 digital camera, do not use even the most basic "red eye" pre-emptive tacttics (pre-Flpash) in a battle red eye. S5 does come with softtware to reduce red eye is built, but it's less than stellar. eDpending on the angle of your question, it may or may not remove the red eye artifact successfully.
Cheaper point and shoots, and even some more exopensive point and shoots often have problems with blurry or soft corners on your photos. I do not expect to find that in the Pro Series Series of digital cmaeras, but it exists. If your main topic is usually framed in the center of the photo, it should not be a poblem. If you woould like to take a lot of landscape and large phoitographs of landscapes, you will not be happy with the result.
Several toher problems with the Powersghot S5 include:
- Conspicuous absence of autofocus assiist
- No RAW or TIFF mode aftter editing the photo fans
- Absorbs four double AA batteries at a time
- An old-fasshioned lens cap (must be lost or left)
