Hello,
I've bought a Canon S5IS back in the last days of 2007,
Canon PowerShot S5 IS Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review
It's a nice camera but it's too heavy, big and slow for P&S camera, and it is not that good for more serious stuff. It's in the middle and that's bad position.
Good points are: Macro, zoom (not use them much), good ergonomics, flipping preview.
Bad points are: Heavy, big, 4 batteries, manual focus and other manual options are not that handy, it's quite nosy on 400iso +.
Since this last year I'm shooting mostly on film, S5IS usualy stays unused.
I'm thinking to sell it (luckily I've found a potentional buyer for price of 200 euro or close) and I'm thinking maybe to get a newer small P&s with good quality, also to use it as a lightmeter too.
What do you think of cameras like Canon S90, S95
Canon PowerShot S90 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review (they are many around). They are very small, light and handy, it has wide and quality shrap lens, enough zoom for me. It has newer but smaller sensor - 1/2.5 vs 1/1.7. (would be that much difference?)
or maybe some similar models like Panasonic LX3/LX5 or maybe Sony DSC-HX5V?
Is it clever to update my P&S camera and paying some euro plus to get S90 or maybe keeping the S5IS?
