Love this camera!
on March 16, 2009

from spring hill
I have had my G5 for many years and decided to write a review while downloading some drivers, etc. This camera has been nothing short of great. Still one of the best looking prosumer camers out there, looks much better and feels much better than ever the new G cameras. Has never let me down and takes great pictures.
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long time owner of the G5

Hubby gave me this camera about 6 years ago and we have thousands of shots that we treasure from it. It is easy to use and takes great shots. It may be a little older technology now, but i would not trade it in. The performance is quite good but as another reviewer said, it suffers a little when trying to take action shots, such as tennis matches and sporting events. Otherwise, it has been the longest-lasting and best camera i've owned.

Best Camera I've Ever Owned!

The Canon G5 has ever feature that anyone could possible want, professional or amateur. In auto mode it is easy to use, but the more experienced user will find that they can maintain complete control of the camera, all with excellent results.
I highly recommend reading the owner's manual to learn all the features of this camera.
Pros: easy to use, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Good Low-Light Performance, good battery life, external flash mount
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a toy
on January 12, 2009
Posted by: HMMWV
from Atlanta, GA
I have owned my G5 since October 2003. I have since purchased at least four other digital cameras. None have matched the quality images from this camera. All the others (even with greater picture resolutions) have failed to match the images I have produced with my G5. This camera has outlasted plenty of the toy & gimmick cameras that friends and relatives had gotten. While the many buttons & switches intimidate many point-and-shoot users, they soon learn that a single button press will capture a fantastic digital image. My change to the camera has been to purchase a pair of higher capacity batteries that double my (already good) shooting time. I don't feel any need to replace this great piece of equipment.
Pros: Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, good battery life
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance

Bottom Line - Great Canera

I purchased this camera when it first came out therefore I paid a premium price, but it was definitely worth it as the camera has performed great since day one and has given me many years of great photos without any problems. The picture quality is great, the battery life is very good and I really have nothing bad to say about it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable long lasting camera.
Pros: good battery life, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Simple controls/menu, easy to use

We bought are camera several years ago and it still performs great. My only complaint is that if you use the zoom, you better use a tripod or your pictures will come out blurry. I should have bought a camera with a visual stabilizer system. Anyway, still a great camera!
Pros: easy to use, Simple controls/menu, Nice features/settings, Bright LCD, excellent image quality, Lightweight/Portable, good battery life, durable
Cons: Poor Low-Light Performance

Good workhorse
on December 29, 2008
Posted by: Rich
from Garrettsville, Ohio
I have used this camera ever since it first came out. I have found it very versatile. All the features work as expected and coupled with a good dedicated flash, will take excellent pictures in many different settings. I miss two features: Image stabilization and better low light sensitivity. I recently purchased a used G6 which is pretty much identical except for the additional 2 million pixels. I love the movable screen. It comes in handy so many ways that I am reluctant to buy the G10 model just for that reason despite the improvements found on that model. Best luck with yours.
Pros: easy to use, excellent image quality, good battery life, durable, consistent reliable image
Cons: Complicated controls/menu, Poor Low-Light Performance, no image stabilization, videos limited time span, wider angle lens would be nice, faster lens for low light conditions
I would recommend this to a friend!
