Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: 15 sec exposure time for night shots. 5MP resolution. Several manual modes. Has video mode. Weakness: Slow (~1sec to take a picture). Not very good on low light (indoors). Noisy ISO 400 mode. Purple fringing. Light sensibility does not change after you start shooting a video. I would not buy this camera again because I have a toddler and this camera is slow and is not very good in low light. So, when I try to take a picture of him, by the time the camera focus/shoots (~1 sec), he is long gone.... The camera is not very good in low light and the flash always kick in when we try to take pictures indoors. This causes the subject to be too lit and the background to become...

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Great pictures, easy to use. Great batttery. Weakness: Needs more optical zoom and a brighter display. Should come with a bigger Compact Flash Memory, but the larger ones are not that exspensive. Best camera I have ever owned, even better then the S-30 I had before. Fits in your hand. Lots of manual and automatic features. Battery last a long time on one charge. Pictures look great.

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: 5 mps, extensive range of features, solid construction, quick operation, nice bright quality snapshot Weakness: auto mode yields some odd results, a bit bulky compared to the competition so so metering, buttons fiddly to operate quickly, two tone quality Lack of helpful critique from reviews, This is a nice cam but is hardly any different from the S45 and thats much cheaper. It has marginally better colour lacking the two tone quality of the s45 though it is still there...red yellow...blue green and so on. Flash picture are good and are about average and outdoor pictures vary, there seems be some odd results that I cannot explain when photographing normal scenes. Many of sample images...

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Top quality pictures and features. Need weeks to learn all features. Weakness: Lens cover is very poor design and can't be closed directly with a single move. Battry is poor quality, not even enough for the 32 MB card depending on what you do. Battry dies after 1 hour :( If you buy a 256MB card, which is great for this camera, buy also a car charger for the battry. The lens cover is so poor quality that I don't think it will last more than a year. The first time I tried to close it I had to battle during minutes with he cover. I am a carefull and patient person ... I think Canon will have a class action on this or a recall. Those two things were very...

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Excellent picture quality, great colors, lots of manual controls, size Weakness: Some issues with low light focusing, the common 3x zoom I'm just a beginner to digital photography. I've had this camera for a couple of days now and I must say that I'm very impressed with it, so far. I have not tested all the features & scene modes but in Auto & Program AE mode, this camera takes some great pictures! I had also considered the Fuji FinePix 3000/3800, Olympus C740, Kodak 6440 & the Canon A75/A80. Low light focusing is a little hard in...

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Quality shots, size (it fit in my adidas pocket). manual control Weakness: none. Seriously I read all the reviews. Here and a couple digital camera review sites. My eyes were burning for days. I have to admit I wanted the G5, but with the price difference I figured I could live without add on lenses. I mean will you ever really need them? This camera takes perfect pictures in nearly all situations just leaving it in auto. A couple days with the manual and you can get any shot you want....

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: In outdoor ambient light camera produces vibrant, sharp photos. Weakness: Useless red-eye reduction makes camera dicey at best for indoor flash photography...almost useless. Also, in low light focus does not perform well. The combination of great build quality, good form factor and excellent ambient light performance make this camera a great product. The mpg1 movie functionality works well also. HOWEVER, the red-eye effect is not reduced by the built in red eye reduction function, it simply does not work. I think it is a defective feature. So beware, if you need to do indoor photography, ESPECIALLY with children,...

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: High Quality Pictures. Good and numerous Auto and manual controls. Battery charges quickly(in about 1 hour) Compact (was more compact at time of purchase as lots of new small camera have come out) Weakness: Poor Red-eye reduction (I wouldnt good as far it doesnt work at all as some have said). Battery is proprietary, so you need a backup. I am very pleased with the camera. The camera is versatile with its manual and auto features. Taking the best picture does require the use of manual controls at times. Some users reported problems using the viewfinder(instead of LCD screen) and picture being off center --- this is true with most cameras and the manual reccomend the using the LCD screen as do I. Poor Red-eye redcution is valid...

Canon PowerShot S50 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Great pictures, ease of use, small size, uses compact flash cards, durable, variety of different modes, including one you set up yourself. Weakness: Delay between pictures - will not allow picture if it is not ready. I bought this camera as the first of a two-part team of cameras. This one is used for casual picture taking because of its small size. It provides excellent pictures up to 8x10. I am now matching it with an 8 mpxl for the serious picture taking. I have had none of the problems sometimes mentioned about this camera. The lettering on the mode wheel is still perfect; you just have to use it properly...

Canon PowerShot S50
It was only a short while ago that I finished my review of the Canon PowerShot S45, a sleek 4-megapixel model with great style and even better picture quality. Now comes the PowerShot S50, a *5-megapixel* model that's a virtual clone of the S45. The most obvious difference between the two is that the S50 is housed in a jet-black metal case, certain to appeal to "guy" sensibilities, as well as to... Top

Strengths: Good picture quality, easy to use, comfortable to handle.
Weakness: Lens cover. Without it closing or opening properly the lens won't function.
After 2 years of use, this wonderful camera ceased to function due to the lense cover getting stuck. Never had a problem til this happened. Fortunately I bought it at Best Buy with 4 year insurance and not sure if they lost the camera or if it couldn't be fixed but I was allowed to get another camera (chose the Canon SD800) in exchange.
