Pros: GREAT stereo movies with zoom. Tilting display. Uses AA batteries. Hot shoe.
Cons: Lens not as wide (36-432mm)as others in its class. No constant battery indicator.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for an all-in-one camera for the family.

Pros: AA batteries, IS, quality, speed, features

Pros: photo quality, 12x zoom, video capability, AA batteries
Cons: LCD viewfinder issues, insecure lens cap, no remote
The Bottom Line: I've had my S5IS for a couple of years, and although not perfect, it's always been fun and practical. You can't go wrong with it or its successors.

Pros: Great photos, nice screen size, great video, easy to use.
Cons: A bit big and bulky, but great for this caliber camera
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this camera to the experienced amateur phtography enthusiast. It's not the caliber of a professional camera, but as close as you get for amateur.

Pros: image quality, dedicated movie button, hot shoe, great zoom, image stabilization
Cons: Uses 4 AA batteries, SD slot is in battery compartment, lens cap comes off easily
The Bottom Line: Great camera, tons of features, stills and movies. Full auto, but plenty of creative or manual settings. Take awesome indoor photos by adding Speedlite 430EX flash!
