Canon Powershot S5 IS review
It’s up on dpreview.com now. Haven’t read the review yet, but skipping ahead, the conclusion isn’t that promising:
So then, Canon took an already great camera and gave it a better screen, better viewfinder and a flash hot shoe, and made it a bit prettier to boot. They then put inside it a sensor that is noisier than its predecessor, meaning that – for the most part – the resolution increase simply isn’t reflected in the output, thanks to the need for stronger noise reduction. It’s certainly a better camera in most respects, but the improvements are about ‘features’ not ‘picture quality’, and we’d hoped for a little more from Canon this time around.
When they talk about “improvements” they’re judging against the S3 IS, so anyone who’s still running an S1 IS will likely see a huge improvement, but S3 IS users can probably keep their wallets in their pockets.
Who said what?
