semi-decent camera
I bought this camera about a month ago but returned it due to lackluster performances. It is not a horrible camera but for the price, I can get a better camera without having to settle for less. I used the camera to snap photographs of my students only to find that the pictures were horribly dark even with the flash. Of the 15 pictures I took, only 2 came out with decent hues; all the other photos were excessively dark to the point that even the students noticed the odd coloring. The camera is known for taking slightly underexposed pictures. I tried to compensate for this by changing the darkness of my photos but this didn't do the trick either. Upon my next major use of the camera, I noticed my pictures were once again horribly dark but this time from the lack of flash capability. The problem of having a small LCD screen such as the one for this camera is that photos appearing clear on the LCD come out blurry when printed. After careful consideration, I returned the camera and am looking into either the Nikon 5900 or the Canon SD400. *fingers crossed*
Great little camera
I bought this camera a couple months ago because I wanted a small digital camera that would be easy to carry with me. Since then, I've found the S5i to be a wonderful camera that takes clear colorful pictures and can easily fit in your pocket.
Here are some praises for the S5i:
1. This camera is TINY. It is smaller than my cellphone. This makes it extremely easy to bring with when going on a trip or just out for the day. I have it in my pocket at all times, ready to capture any moment. I brought it with on a recent trip and everybody thought it was great. At the end of the day we hooked it up to the TV in the hotel and watched a slide show of the day. Everyone loved it.
2. The battery life in incredible. I have had this thing for a couple months and I have only charged it like 4 times. Even with extended use of the flash and screen, the battery still keeps kicking. Very different from my cellphone!
3. The super macro focus setting creates beautiful photos. This was something I didn't realize the camera had until after I bought it. You can get right up to things and take these really colorful and crisp images. Flowers and plants look incredible.
4. The red-eye reduction is the best I've ever seen. With the red-eye flash mode, the camera flashes once and then about a second later flashes again and takes the picture. None of my pictures suffer from red-eye anymore. The flash is also very powerful.
5. It has many manual settings for more artistic pictures. I still haven't even gotten to check out all the little features this camera comes with. It has a lot of different "scene" presets and also allows you to do manual mode (with focus & exposure).
Overall, this camera met and exceeded all the expectations I had. I would definitely recommend the Pentax S5i to a family member or friend.
Great small cam!
I just got this camera a month ago and I am satisfied with it. It has a lot of features despite its size. And for point and shoot I can say it's a great buy, comparable to other power packed cameras, it even takes better pictures sometimes.
But I just had to give it a 4 because I thought I could do more with it. But you can't do much with the settings since it has it's own default settings for certain conditions. But over all it's a great camera. If you're just after taking normal pictures and you want something sleek, this is definitely a good buy.
