Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Review and Price Guide

December 2, 2007

For those familiar with the Cannon Powershot S3 IS series, this camera will seem very familiar. Most of the things that made the S3 IS a huge hit remain the same or have improved in the S5 IS.

For instance the image stabilization technology remains, the huge array of manual and semimanual controls and the the signature flip-and-twist LCD screen have all been brought forward to this new version.

All new features include a bump up to 8 megapixels from the S3 IS models 6-megapixel capability, a wider LCD screen, face recognition, auto focus, auto exposure, Digic III processor and a maximum of ISO 1600.

This camera has many bells and whistles but remains very easy to operate. Your hands will find a memory to the controls very quickly and operation the S5 IS will become almost second nature.

With the max resolution being 3264 x 1832, makes this the best super zoom on the market. The only drawbacks we found were that, just like the S3, it still does not have RAW file mode and there are some slight artifacts.

Conclusion

The S5 IS brings the S3 up to where it should be. With some needed upgrades you now have a camera capable of competing with the rest and able to meet the high demands that photographers put them under. This camera, while it still has it’s flaws, is the best super zoom on the market in our opinion and is a good solid camera that will last you for years to come.

Canon PowerShot A570IS 7.1MP Digital Camera Best Price Guide and Review

November 23, 2007

Looking for a compact camera that gives you plenty of value for your money? Then look no further than the Canon PowerShot A570 IS. This camera seems to be a nice pick. It even runs on AA batteries so if you run out of juice you don’t have to wait for the batteries to recharge. You can always pick up some new ones in a crunch.

This camera seems like a great bargain so lets take a deeper look to make sure that looks are not deceiving in this case.

The first thing you notice about this camera is the 4x optical zoom. Usually you can only find a 3x zoom in a compact camera. Then there is the optical image stabilizer technology built into this camera. Thats not usually found in a compact with this kind of price tag. Ah, but wait, there is more.

Some of the features include manual exposure controls, optical image stabilization, flash output control, a high-resolution 2.5-inch LCD, 7.1-megapixel CCD, supports ISO 1600 and High ISO Auto to help with image blur and lowlight situations, includes a Print/Share button for easy direct printing and downloading and finally the DIGIC III image processor has improved face detection technology which enhances red-eye correction. Overall, the feature list on this compact camera is impressive. But how is the image quality?

You can rest assured that this little camera will be able to capture enough detail for photo-quality 15 x 20-inch prints. There is a little bit of noise at higher ISO levels but then again, you are talking a sub $200 camera. You are getting image stabilization and 7.1 mega pixels that bring a great amount of clarity to this camera.

Conclusion

Overall, the Canon PowerShot A570 IS is a solid compact camera that offers a lot of value for your money. Although we were a bit disappointed with it’s noise at high ISO setting you will still be hard pressed to find a compact camera with all of these features, at a price like this.

Pure Digital Flip Video Camera Ultra Series Camcorder 60 Min Best Price and Review

November 20, 2007

The Flip Video Ultra Camcorder by Pure Digital is a force to be reckoned with in the lower end video recorders. It’s very lightweight design and slim profile make this a favorite among portable video recording devices.

So, how does this little video recorder perform when put to the test? With it’s 2GB capacity you get around 60 minutes of video recording time. Not too shabby for something so small. A total of 60 minutes does not sound like much but you are usually not constantly recording and should do the trick unless you are a huge video nut.

The Flip Video Ultra has a 1.5 inch LCD screen, a built in microphone and a zoom lens. It also has a built in TV out port and a USB port so you can plug in to your nearest PC and download the videos you have just recorded. Also, it stores the videos in either MPEG 4 or AVI format so it is compatible with importing into your favorite video editing software.

The Bad

There is not much to say here other than there is no SD/MMC card expansion slot which kind of stinks. That would be a nice addition to see in the next generation of the Flip Video devices.

Conclusion

This model has been greatly improved over the previous generation. With it’s improved video quality, slimmer design and upgraded software, the Pure Digital Flip Video Ultra is gaining great momentum in the lower end digital recorders category and becoming very popular for a reason. This is a nice and cheap way to record digital video without killing your wallet.
