    I think the front slider to operate the lens is probably not a good design on the Canon PowerShot S50 and I am disappointed that this camera has only lasted three years as apart from that I was very pleased with it.

    The Canon S50 was my first foray into the world of digital cameras.
    I have always sworn by the superior quality of my old SLR pentax, and was a little apprehensive as to whether this camera would compare.
    My first attempt with the camera was on a once in a lifetime holiday to Alaska and Canada, so ...

    Canon PowerShot S50 - I bought this camera last year and have taken it on a number of holidays. The camera is easily carried (usually in my bum bag) and easily operated. Prior to buying this camera I had an SLR, but I now have similar quality pictures and have less to carry. One thing I would recomm ...

    Over all, the Canon PowerShot S50 is a good camera. You can see the difference between 4 and 5 megapixels. Mine has a 1 Gig microdrive and that is worth its weight in gold i.e. equivalent to loads of memory. Thought that the focusing was a bit soft at times around the edges of photos i.e. blurred bu ...

    The Canon PowerShot S50 takes good pictures and has good features, as many other articles illustrate. The problem is that the camera is extremely sensitive to it's environment, and is prone to experiencing failure when used in conditions in which you would never expect to have problems.

    I purc ...

    Canon PowerShot S50 - I was using Fujifilm Finepix 4700. I decided to have a look at the more modern digital cameras. I expected that there will be some improvement but my goodness, how much better the image quality. I had it printed in a matte photo paper at Jessops. It makes me feel my analogue ca ...

    I did quite a bit of research for a higher pixel camera and narrowed it down to the big camera names. I liked Canon's website which has a helpful product chooser. I.e. what is more important looks or performance. Unfortunately when my Canon PowerShot S50 arrived the instructions and software were in ...

    I was looking for a Compact Digital, with 4 or 5 Mega pixels.

    It needed to fit in my pocket, so discounted some of the larger models like the Canon G3, Olympus 5050 etc.

    I narrowed the choice down to the Olympus Camedia 50, and the Powershot 50.

    The Powershot won for a couple of reasons. ...
