Canon's new Powershot S50 is a stylish little digicam that updates Canon's recently introduced S45.

Canon's PowerShot S50: Slight Step above S45 but not Exactly Better!

byyusakugo May 17, 2003
68 Helpfuls 69 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 5 MegaPixels, Compact design, Good number of features
Cons Only 3x Zoom lens, red-eye reduction issues, weak flash
Recommended it? Yes

Funny... I had been playing on and off with a friend's S50 for the better part of the past one to one and a half months. I had been rather impressed with it from my limited exposure.

Pros Easy to use, Very good pictures, and HD video
Cons Slight tendency toward over-exposure, can’t use the zoom in video capture mode.
Recommended it? Yes

Canon introduced several new digicams at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, but the compact Canon PowerShot A3300 IS (which replaces the very popular A3100 IS) may be the most interesting of the lot. At first glance, the A3300 IS doesn’t look like the culmination of almost 200 years of... Read full review »

I have a Cannon Digital Camera and I really like it.
