Canon Announces New Prosumer Powershot S5 IS Camera
Post by Glenn Wolsey
Bright and early (at 1AM in the morning), Canon announced the new “prosumer” Powershot S5 IS which replaces the previous highly successful S3 IS.
The new S5 IS sports a 2.5-inch swiveling LCD display, 8 Mega-Pixels (a nice bump over the previous 6MP models), and integration of the enhanced Digic III image processor, which facilitates the introduction of face-detection auto focus and exposure modes.
This release is well worth the upgrade for current owners of previous S1, S2 or S3 Powershot models and perfect for those wanting a camera which puts them in total control, without having to take a leap for a Digital-SLR (DSLR).
It is expected in mid-July, and will be retailing for a cool $499.99.
