I just got this camera, and haven't had much time to play with it. I was wondering if anyone else has this camera, and what your experience has been. Thanks!

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It looks like a very nice camera. I don't know anyone who has it, but I think you'll like it.

I get very sharp, clear, images with my Canon S3 IS even in "auto" or the various "scenes" settings, but it also has manual setting capability plus 12X zoom, a tilt monitor (which is VERY handy to have in situations where you want to hold the camera above your head or below your knees, etc. without standing on a ladder or lying on the ground, and still be able to see on the monitor exactly what will be in the final picture ).
It also takes excellent camcorder quality videos of up to an hour length by just pushing one button, on and off. The slightly upgraded/newer version is the S5 IS, which you have.
I'm not much of a "techie", so found the included paperback manual somewhat confusing and bought Dennis Curtin's "A Short Course in Canon PowerShot S3 IS Photography", which is much easier to follow and understand and helped me a lot. It probably covers about 98% of what you need to know for the S5 also, since there's almost no difference in the two cameras.
