For anyone who owns this camera or has before. I have been looking for a nice, professional camera for about 4 months now. I have looked at the Nikon D40, but doesn't seem the right one for me. I was just looking in to this camera and seeing how it has worked for others. Does it have quick flash, is it compact, but professional? I'm just doing my research before I go out and spend all my money. Speaking of money, is $350 reasonal price for this camera? I need all the help I can get and I really appreciate yours! :)You can check out this link to see the camera and read about it. Thank you!http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830120207&Tpk=Canon%2b8%2bMP%2bPowerShot%2bS5

Here are some reviews:S5-IS: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonS5is/- See also: http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/4421/camera-test-canon-powershot-s5-is.htmlYou can read the test results to find out about flash recycling, shutter lag, and so on.I don't own this camera, but my daughter (adult) has owned the S2-IS for a couple of years and loves it when she doesn't mind carrying that slightly larger camera around.$350 is exactly the right price right now.

I had the s2 and I really liked it, although when i did upgrade it was for a dslr. But you certainly can't go wrong with the canon. It has a lot going for it and if my s2 had more megapixels, a bigger lcd and a hotshoe I might not have upgraded, in fact I'm considering buying it in addition to my nikon. The price is pretty good and it does have an "slr" look to it. If you want "pro" looking then this will probably do the trick, but if you actually want something professional then your're probably better off with the d40. You're then getting into a whole new level of photography with a dslr and need to do more research and know what it is you want the camera to do. But if all you want is a compact, impressive looking point and shoot with mega features then you won't be dissappointed with the s5.
