Canon PowerShot G5 reviews

Average rating from 3 reviews:

Reviewed by John Morris from Wales on 26th Jul 2005
I think the G5 is excellent - far beyond its appearance. I have had very good results with it and the quality is very high. I have used Canon SLRs for 20 years and this is equal to any SLR that I've used. I haven't yet used all its possibilities. It is capable of video recording, but only at 16 frames per second, so I haven't used it for that. Otherwise I have had no problems.

The G5 is my second digital camera. I was impressed with the quality of the photos. I have never been a good taker of photos but the G5 is so impressive even I look good. There is so much it can do with professional features and excellent results. The only thing that I could think to write that is negative is sometimes the focus has a mind of its own. Although that could be me not very familiar with the correct settings. The battery life is unbelievable, I just take photos and the battery never seems to run out (not quite true but close). I have had my G5 about 7-8 months and paid £400 new. My friend has a very expensive Nikkon and in comparison the two cameras are much closer than the price would have you believe. The Canon G5 is gets 9/10 from me.

After using an SLR for nearly 30 years I have finally been persuaded to move to digital. The G5 isn't an SLR, but it does have all the features that I need. These are good focus control, manual exposure, shutter-priority and aperture priority, long exposures, macro zoom and top quality lenses. I am now a convert, although I still keep my old SLR for shooting transparencies.
