Powershot from a canon.
Review of Canon PowerShot S5 IS by thebigc1690

Advantages: Affordable, excellent functions and easy to use.
Disadvantages: I will get back to you!

...the opportunity to use the Canon Powershot S5 IS for a week and I was so impressed with it I bought one days later. Although I am very much an amateur there is enough functions on this camera to suit basic professional needs too. The camera is so versatile it can be used for the most basic functions such as making family albums or taking holiday snaps right through to the uses of a semi pro or amateur photographer like myself for doing photo shoots ...
...with Wide/Tele/Close-up converter lenses and Canon EX Speedlite flashes ░ The camera explained░ Some of the features many will be familiar with and some many wont have heard of so I will explain some of the cameras main functions.

An slr without the complications
Review of Canon PowerShot S5 IS by elmo1914

Advantages: design, quality, lens
Disadvantages: price

If you want the quality and features of an slr with the ease of use of a compact then this is the camera for you. the 8 megapixel resolution helps produce fantastic quality pictures which seems to be the norm with canons highly regarded DIGIC III image processor and lens based optical image stabilisation system. the lens has 10x zoom which i find is ideal for any medium range shooting. the S5 has a 2.5" 207k screen that can flip out from the back ...
...ideal for viewing photos after taking them. the S5 has a very clever face detection scheme which allws the camera to focus on the faces producing top notch photos, i had never previously experienceed this feature but i found it to be a huge hit. the price is not cheap, you'll pay upwards of £220 for the camera but quality is worth paying for. ...
