Summary: Just one word, Wow!
Review: Finally decided to get S50. Am I happy with the decision I made!
Since, My brother owns S45, I didn't want to get the same one. Just paid a few more dollars for 1 extra Megapixel. We did comparison tests on my bigscreen Sony Digital TV. Crispy sharp. They both perform just about the same except when you zoom the picture to the max, you can tell, then, what an extra megapixel means. Otherwise, aside from the body color( which I'm trilled with since it's diff from all the other dig. cameras) and more pixels, they are about the same. It took me a good 2 months to do research before I went with this one. I'm a 100% happy camper. Still trying to find out all these features that come with the little one. The best in the market!

Summary: Tremendous Camera
Review: I bought this about a month ago as a replacement for an old
Kodak DC 215 (1.4MP). I held off buying a new camera for a long time, waiting till digital camera technology evolved to SLR quality. I finally thought this was it, and made the plunge,
and am not disappointed. The photo-quality is astonishing even in
auto mode (I havent experimented much yet with the manual settings), and the camera is exceptionally quick. I am able to reshoot within a second even at high resolution. The camera excels in outdoor/sunshine where minute details (blades of grass, each strand of hair) can be made out. Colors are brilliant and true.
Battery is OK and lasts enough for 3 to 4 photo rounds (enough to fill up my 256MB card) and Canon did a great job in writing intuitive software. It is also a great toy given the amount of manual control it gives, at the same time fitting in a pocket easily. TIPS:
Initially some shots came fuzzy, but the trick is to let the autofocus do its job fully (half-press the button). Flash is also a bit weak, but there may be some manual settings that would strengthen this. Buy a huge memory card. You will be using this camera a lot.

Summary: good, but not great
Review: Pros: fast; sturdy; intuitive; built-in mic for movie mode; sliding lens cover means no lens cap to lose Cons: very poor macro mode; disappointing auto-focus My first real camera was a Canon EOS Rebel. It was supposed to be a great camera, but I found that its auto-focus never focused quite right. Close, but never as good as I could do manually. I recently bought the Canon PowerShot S50 for my 7-year-old son, who has demonstrated a real gift for photography. It's a great match for him because it's small (so it fits his hands well), it's easy to use, and it's very well constructed. Unfortunately, like my old EOS Rebel, this Canon's auto-focus system is weak. When it happens to focus just right, the pictures are great, and you really get 5MP worth of resolution. But that's all too rare. My Nikon Coolpix 990 (without question the best camera I've ever owned) is only 3MP, but in real-life shooting situations it gets better resolution than this 5MP Canon does. Keep this in mind: getting the wrong focus (or shaking the camera) by just 1 pixel in each direction reduces the effective resolution by 4x. So getting the focus perfect is *critical* for the 5MP to matter. Even minor errors send you into sub-megapixel territory. Also, if you care about macro mode, look elsewhere. It's really quite bad compared to other digitals. It can't get nearly as close as the Coolpix 990, and again, it has trouble fosusing. On the positive side, the exposure is generally good, the color is accurate, and the movie mode is surprisingly good. There's a bit of "Max Headroom" effect because it's only 15 fps, but it's so easy to use that we actually *take* movies now, whereas our old camcorder just gathers dust because it's too bulky to lug around, and dealing with tape is such a hassle. Overall, a nice product with much to recommend it, but check out the focusing issue yourself before you buy. Maybe it's just me. But my next camera will be a Nikon.

Review: Had a Fujifilm digital- no comparison. This camera does everything except take the picture. The quality of the pictures even in Emails is beyond the norm.... The auto features make this the best point and shoot camera. The word for this camera is "QUALITY".

Summary: so easy, so elegant
Review: i've had this camera about 1 month. it is intuitive, works smoothly and is a pleasure to tote around and use. sending jpegs via email is simple and being able to choose the size of the image is very handy. i can have big big images or little ones; i can reduce the big big ones and if i only plan to email them i can just take the small size and fit more on my memory card. i recommend an xtra battery and a 256 card; the 32 supplied will only take @19 large photos and believe me, when you get going, that is not enough, even for an amateur shutterbug like moi.
