What Camera Should I Buy?

Jody posted this at 10:39 am under consumer

canon s5 is cameraI want a digital camera with over 10x optical zoom, good close-up capabilities, easy to use with the option to use manual settings, and quick shutter speed (so I don’t have to wait 2+ seconds between shots).

My main candidate is the Canon Powershot S5 IS, for around $400 Canadian. It’s received excellent reviews, with its main complaint being it doesn’t output in RAW format, which I don’t care about (or should I?).

    You’ll probably find all the info you need from J-Walk’s post asking the same question a couple weeks ago.

    How about including a link to it in your comment? Plus, does he have the same requirements as me?

    I couldn’t wait for any feedback; I bought it.

    Hard to buy a bad camera nowadays. My Fuji serves me well, but it seems there are new ones monthly. Hard to keep up, if that’s what you have to do. I haven’t even scraped the surface of what mine will do, though.
