(Even in the 35mm SLR, I sold my Canon and bought a Nikon for the same reason.)<br /><br />The S5IS hot shoe is the only thing I really miss on the Panasonic. Neither camera's fill-in flash is all that great and the standard Canon flash isnt any better. However, bigger flashes are available.<br /><br />If you take a lot of low-light photos, opt for the Canon S5IS and a serious flash. For putting in your pocket and having ez excellent images, save the $200.<br /><br />To compare 1000s of images have a look at www.pbase.com and search by camera.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135736497825564906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-5805168372290329052010-01-08T03:24:38.383-08:002010-01-08T03:24:38.383-08:00This is an excellent camera.

While not a complete replacement for an dSLR, the FZ8 is pretty darn close. Given the current price in the low $200s, it is one of the best values in digital camera available.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ds-r4.cn" rel="nofollow">dsi r4</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169103999262999750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-89300961919836376772008-04-15T04:02:00.000-07:002008-04-15T04:02:00.000-07:00Thanks for your remark about FZ8's RAW format. As ...Thanks for your remark about FZ8's RAW format. As for Canon S5,Panasonic FZ8 and other SLR-likes, look at the Fujifilm S100FS with 2/3-inch Super CCD HR sensor. In my opinion, this ultra-zoom is the best SLR-like camera now. <BR/>Fujifilm S100's key features include a large 2/3 inch 11 megapixel Super CCD sensor, all-new optically-stabilized 14.3x (28-400mm) manual zoom lens and a version of the 100-400% wide dynamic range and film simulation (hence 'FS') options seen on the FinePix S5 Pro SLR.<BR/>I'll be glad to see your opinion about this new Fuji camera.fototramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01923497191653031702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-30473001086794854172008-04-14T07:09:00.001-07:002008-04-14T07:09:00.001-07:00whoopsthat is "shame" on Panasonic, not "same."whoops<BR/>that is "shame" on Panasonic, not "same."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640055500127815203.post-71038626698479020362008-04-14T07:09:00.000-07:002008-04-14T07:09:00.000-07:00The S5 IS has a hot shoe.
