My pictures are so much clearer and the colors are so much more vivid. If you are considering a powershot, but not sure which one, I'd definitely recommend getting the S5 over any of the A series.
As a side story... something interesting that happened to me with this ... Read More

I purchased this camera a year ago and I use it almost daily for work. I love it!! It takes great pictures. The pictures are vivid and crisp. I'm not fond of the batteries but aside that, I'm very happy with it.
