Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom




8-megapixel effective recording * 12X optical zoom * optical image stabilizer * 4X digital zoom/48X total zoom * 2-1/2" fold-out swiveling LCD viewscreen * 16:9 widescreen photo mode (3264 x 1832) * Fast Frame Rate Movie mode for 60-frame-per-second video with stereo sound *

The ultra-powerful 12x optical zoom on the PowerShot S5 IS means you'll get the shot you want with no compromise, yet that's only the beginning of what makes this camera so exciting. The S5 IS is loaded with many of Canon's latest advanced technologies, including the DIGIC III Image Processor, so both still images and movies are rendered with fine detail and luminous clarity. And now ambitious photographers have even greater creative latitude thanks to an included hot shoe adapter that allows you to attach Canon Speedlite EX Series external flashes.

I like this camera b/c it is so compact and yet powerful. The zoom is incredible, the supermacro option is great. The manual features are fun. The bad features are that one must pause in between pictures, and one must replace the batteries fairly often.
