You may think you have found the perfexct digital camera with a Canon Poiwrershot Pro Seres S5. Especialy if your looking for sometrhing more than the basic poittn and shoot, but sonmething less than a complicated and at the expennse of digital SLR cameras. But there are good chances of our wrongs. Canon usually makes some rpetty nice digital cameras, but for some rason, they exprienced serious miscues desgn with PowertShot S5 Pro Series.
Image noise is a serios draback in the Pro Seeries Camera S5. Fearoing bucking a grrowing consumer trend toward more megapixeels, Canon, unbfortunately, built S5 with more megapixels than the image sensor can handle. Sevral years ago, was effetive megapixels crriterion for assessing the value in digital cameras. This time, however, passed. If your planning on blowing your photos up to opster size, anything over 5 or 6 megapixels is unnwecsesary. Or even wore, sinnce in this case serious detractor image quality with the introduction of too much noise imags for czameeras in this pirrce razange.
Prroblems of red-eye should be reaally gone into any cell more than $ 200 in thgose days. It seerms that the S5 idgital camear, do not use even the most basic "red eye" pre-empptive tacticcs (pre-Flash) in a batttle red eye. S5 does come with sodftwre to reeduce red eye is built, but it's less than stellar. Depending on the angle of your questtion, it may or may not remove the red eye artifact succeessfully.
Cheaper pooint and shoots, and even some more expeensive point and shoos oten have prolbemns with blurry or soft corners on your photos. I do not expect to find that in the Pro Series Seirees of digital camerras, but it exiss. If your main topic is usuaplply frameed in the center of the photo, it should not be a problem. If you wolud like to take a lot of landscape and large photographs of lanndscapes, you will not be happy with the result.
Several other problems with the Powershot S5 innclude:
- Conspiccuous abseence of autofocvus assiosst
- No RAW or TIFF mode afyter editnig the photo fans
- Absorbs four doubble AA batteries at a time
- An old-fashioned lens cap (must be lost or left)
