Review of Canon PowerShot G5 by Rosassnaps

Advantages: Instant results,
Disadvantages: None

...a friend using a similar Canon model, and quite liking the way he could swivel the viewing monitor, to see what the lens was seeing at all angles, I started my research to find the right little camera for me. With the swivelling monitor, you can …for example….take a low level photo without having to get right down to it, by just lowering down the camera, and facing the monitor upwards, to view your shot. This saves you from having to struggle to ...
...the internet for info on Canon cameras with this feature…….there were many different models, but the one that caught my attention was the Canon Powershot G5. (I think it may have been the newest model then.) All the reviews I found on it , gave it praise. It was listed on most of the online shops at similar prices, but was out of stock at the store quoting the cheapest price. So I decided to buy locally at Jessops, who quoted me the best price. (Actually, ... Read review

Gone Digital..
Review of Canon PowerShot G5 by schrodingerspussy

Advantages: Digital control, 16x the zoom
Disadvantages: The weight, the lens obstructing the viewfinder.

...you can read off the Canon web site. I wanted to talk about the human aspect of actual using this camera. If you just want details on the camera skip down to the *******************. I would describe myself as an "enthusiastic amateur", and over the past 10 years have had more than a little bit to do with 35mm photography. I started with a camera that my dad brought back from Libya in the 50's. A fixed length Braun with a manual focus and instructions ...
...started when i attended the Canon open day at Lulworth Cove earlier this year and was "Lent" a Canon Ixus 400-digital camera for the morning. I must say that i was initially very unimpressed and looked at it with all the affection one would a dead rat. Within 20 mins I had worked out the basics without a manual and was snapping away happily. The LCD display was enchanting. I liked getting a sneak preview of what i was getting in my picture. The ...

the perfect fishing camera
Review of Canon PowerShot G5 by 101riggers

Advantages: flip around screen, picture quality, IR remote,build quality
Disadvantages: bulky, heavy

I have owned this camera for a couple of years now and can not reccomend it highly enough. The flip out srceen is ideal for self take photography especially when combined with the infer red remote, allowing one to zoom in or out if needed. The camera is packed with features rivalling those on the basic digital slr's, although i admit to only ever using the automatic, night mode, landscape, and portrait modes on the camera. The built in flash is ...
...external flashes, which i would advise if night pictures a common place. The build quality of the camera is superb, i am not the most carefull when it comes to looking after the camera and it is still looking as good as new. The battery life is another quality feature on this camera, it lasts plenty long enough, and has rechargable batteries. ... Read review

Probably the best camera of 2003
Review of Canon PowerShot G5 by dromaderul

Advantages: Excellent photo quality for a prosumer camera
Disadvantages: Quite hard to use for a techno-phobe

...that exceptional photo quality that Canon has put into its photo cameras until now. I have recently compared the photo quality to the Nikon D70 SLR. The professional tests showed little difference. On the other side, the Canon SLRs provided obviously a better quality of the image. For the seekers of good and affordable digital cameras, you could also check out the Canon 300D SLR (or Digital Rebel). It is around 700$ and provides a better quality ...
...of the photos made by the G5 were used in a photographer's album on A3 format and they look great, even better than the ones made with an optical Canon. The G5 offers a great diversity of options, the best I've seen in a digital camera. The most appealing is the manual focusing system (allows you to choose the area of the picture where to focus). Other function, which I consider interesting (though by far not as useful as the manual focus) is the ... Read review

The Semi Professional Camera I would buy again
Review of Canon PowerShot G5 by kurun

Advantages: Lots of functions - ideal for the serious hobbyist
Disadvantages: Only 4x Optical Zoom

...pictures led me to the CANON G5 camera. So, I bought one. This was 18 months ago and I have taken thousands of pictures since then. The results are almost always good. FUNCTIONALITY OVERVIEW On the Automatic setting, it's just like any other point and click camera, with excellent results most of the time. However, the fun starts when you choose the manual functions. Manual as in Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority. This functionality provides ...
...the ability to produce certain effects. The minimum shutter speed is 15sec, which for certain effects does not provide a long enough exposure. The G5 can take care of White balance automatically, but it allows you to choose one yourself. There are also a number of Photo effects. I find the Vivid colour one most exciting. This effect produces bright vivid colours in your pictures. Being a 5Megapixel camera, the G5 is capable of producing pictures ... Read review
