  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: good quality workmanship and lots of exposurefeatures.

  Weaknesses: outdated with only 5 megapixels and overpriced andcosting as much as some 8 megapixel cameras.

  Overall Evaluation: back in late 2003 when i got my canon g5 it was oneof the very few digital cameras with 5 megapixels. the picture quality is good even when printing it on a 8 x 10" inkjet as well as viewing photos on a 19 inchLcd monitor. however it's now late 2005 and i must saythat compared to today's digital cameras which has8 megapixels, the g5 is outdated and with it costing as much as many of the 8 megapixel digital cameras, theg5 is overpriced.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Excellent picture quality, lots of manual controls but still easy to use in auto mode, good battery life.

  Weaknesses: slow auto focus in low light, nothing else I've found so far

  Overall Evaluation: It's simply a great camera. I have owned a Powershot S30 for a while and loved it. I wanted something with more megapixels and improved manual features and I got it! While larger than many of the current point-and-shoot models, this camera is not cumbersome and offers a very large range of advanced options to keep even semi-pro shutterbugs happy for a while to come. If you're looking for anything more than 3 megapixels, look seriously at this camera.
