Canon PowerShot S50 Digital Camera

Pros: Great pictures. Sturdy. Nice-sized viewfinder. Intuitive software included. OK battery life.
Cons: Slow cardwriting. Flimsy-feeling lens cover. Sometimes slow shutter.

I've had my Canon PowerShot S50 for quite some time now. Probably about a year or so, and I'm on a reviewing binge right now, so I've decided to reflect on my experience with it. The Canon PowerShot S50 was my first foray into digital photography. I ...

Pros: Compact, easy point/shoot, print directly to canon printer, lense protected in housing when off.
Cons: White balance is touchy, no battery life indicator

My previous camera was an olympus C2000Z. I believed I needed to have all the lense attachments. After 4 yrs, I never used any special lense stuff. So I took the plunge for a a more compact digital camera. The canon S50 is so easy to use. And so ...

Pros: Good pictures. Good functions
Cons: Horrible reliability. Poor construction. Abysmal customer service. Expensive repairs.

The camera takes good pictures and has good features, as many other articles illustrate. The problem is that the camera is extremely sensitive to its environment, and is prone to experiencing failure when used in conditions in which you would never ...

Pros: 5MP resolution, tons of options, very easy to use, compact size, 12X total zoom.
Cons: No option for add-on lenses or filters, weak flash

This may appear to look like your basic compact digital camera, but it puts out far beyond basic features and options. This is a very high quality and high end camera. It's ease of use is a huge plus. And the Whopping 5MP will bring you clear, sharp, and ...

Pros: Versatile. Use as a point and shoot camera or adjust the settings to your preferences
Cons: Would like a little faster shutter speed operation.

Since I am not a camera buff, I took a chance on what digital camera to purchase. I researched many websites and did my due diligence prior to purchase. I still was not certain the Canon PowerShot S50 was for me. One year later I still feel like I am ...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, ease of use, compact size, durable, custom function, inexpensive waterproof housing
Cons: Flash power and red-eye, purple ghosting of high-contrast borders, noise at higher ISO settings

I love this camera for travel and for snapshots. It's small enough to carry around, with excellent picture quality, nothing protruding to break off. I've been very happy so far (6 months). This is a very solid feeling camera, not as light as some ...

Pros: Great camera for anyone who knows what an f-stop and depth of field is.
Cons: Lettering is repeatedly falling off on top dial of black model.

I purchased my S50 in April of 2003 and just love it. I used to be a serious photographer and I like the fact that I know the f-stop and the shutter speed for every picture I take. I know in advance if I should just brace myself or use a tripod. And it ...

Pros: Good manual features, high-quality construction, great pictures
Cons: Front case open/close style takes a little bit of getting used to

I've been a happy S50 owner for about 8 months now. In general I'm a fan of Canon's cameras, I also have an S100 and until recently a D30. (I switched to the S50 when it became apparent my career as a professional photographer was never going to happen) ...

Pros: Easy use, quick getting started, nice pictures
Cons: Navigating menus can be a little awkward.

This camera is a great way to get a quick start with digital photography. I read several reviews and settled on the S50 because it got high rankings in several places. Once I took it out of the box, I had all of my hopes confirmed. After charging the ...

Pros: Simple use with a huge list of options for gadget junkies.
Cons: Unable to change lens (my little joke...read review).

The Canon S50 hits its target straight as a ‘Bullet’. I received my Canon S50 as my Christmas present a few days ago. I have been playing with it for a few days straight and can already tell it is an incredible digital camera. My wife actually ...

Pros: Metal body, retractable lens with great siding lens cover, solid feel, high tech looking
Cons: No flash hot shoe, hard to see screen in daylight, uses batteries quick

I bought the Canon S50 over 6 months ago right after it came out. I won't get into all of the technical info. Check out www.dpreview.com for the technical specs on this camera. Needless to say, it gets an incredibly high rating as far as a digital ...

Pros: Small, light, full creative controls, exceptional images
Cons: No (official) method to attach auxiliary lenses, no hot shoe, slow lens

Well, here I go again, reviewing yet another digital camera. Funny, in just the last two months, four new digital cameras have come into my possession, and one has gone out. That one was a Canon S200 Digital Elph, which I had for a year and a half or ...

Pros: Compact Size, Beautiful color, sleek design, 5MP resolution.
Cons: Weak battery life, no external flash

I will try to keep my review simple but informative: I have had this camera for over a month now. ...

Pros: High resolution, rugged and fairly compact metal body, advanced features
Cons: Lacks flexibility of SLRs and extreme small size of some point-and-shoots

I have owned an S230 since around February. Before that, I owned an S200. I sold my S230 and receive ...

Pros: canon quality, 5MP resolution, essentially a shrunk g5
Cons: more noise than the s45 (the s50's 4MP stablemate)

this is a full-featured 5MP compact camera that will work for a wide range of users. i compared this ...
