canon powershot S5 IS

Hello, this guide is-not- about -all-digital cameras. There are other reviews about digital cameras. This guide is about my own experience with this model of digital camera.
Updated 8/2011: I still highly regemend this camera, even a used model.
Updated March, 2011 to simply say that if I ever lost or broke this camera, I would buy another used one right away. I have taken some close up shots and some high speed military aircraft shots that are just fabulous. I still highly regemend this make and model. I have also read poor reviews on similar newer Canon's so be careful if looking to buy a new Canon zoom camera, such as the 35X 14MP version.
