Review: Canon's latest Powershot entry, the G5, is marginally improved from their previous G3--mainly by upping the megapixel count from 4 to 5. I looked at comparably priced Olympus, Sony and Nikon before settling on the G5. Having taken thousands of pics ...

Pros: Nearly perfect digital photos; many, many features; easy to use; great value.

Cons: Except for the obsessive professional, there are none.

The Bottom Line: Recommend to anyone for image quality, ease of use, versatility, battery life and high trade-up value. Shop for the best price and trade up for the G6 next year.

Review: This is my third G series PowerShot digital camera. I owned the G2, G3 and now the G5. In addition to the increased megapixels from 4 to 5, there are only a few other changes from the G3. By the way, in case you're wondering why Canon skipped over the ...

The Bottom Line: Unless you're priority is to get a pocket-size camera, get this. I'll have this camera for a long time!

Pros: Great photos, manual settings, LCD screen, ease of downloading photos

Cons: Too bulky to carry around to take photos on vacation

The Bottom Line: Good product for around the house use, not to carry around.

Review: I've owned the G5 for about a year now. I've taken over 2,000 photos, mostly of a couple toddlers around the house and outside. I bought this camera after much research and trying out my frontrunners in the stores where I could find them. I've used ...

Pros: Continuous Shooting, Wireless Control, Tilt Swivel LCD, 5.0 Megapixel.

Cons: You will have to buy extra memory as only comes with 32Mb CompactFlash Card.

The Bottom Line: It’s easy to use and easy to get great results. This camera will satisfy the more experienced photographer or the complete novice.

Review: The G5 has lived up to all my expectations and gone far beyond them. I was looking for an all rounder that gave me that little extra control over the pictures I would be taking. On auto mode the results have been above my expectations, and it has all the ...

Pros: 5MP, manual control, great fold-out lcd, 4x optical zoom

Cons: slightly more noise than the g3

The Bottom Line: highly recommended. this is a very nice package geared for people who want the flexibility of manual control but still be able to point & shoot and get great pics.

Review: this is a full-featured camera that you use as a point-and-shoot and still have the flexibility to b ...

Pros: Great for action shots, convertible monitor, nice video!

Cons: A bit large and heavy. Flash isn't enough in low light.

The Bottom Line: A solid, well made, easy to operate and functional camera, but not the most portable.

Review: I received this camera as a gift from my husband. We also purchased the larger memory card. This camera takes some of the best action shots I have ever seen! I do sheep herding with my dog and have gotten some professional quality shots of the ...
