Canon S5

Finally got the camera on Tuesday-still trying to figure it all out :goodvibes I do believe that I am going to like it better than the Kodaks that I have . Lots of cool features!! Will post some as soon as I get more familiar with it. Plus it's cold, snowy and really windy here right now-so I think I'll wait til the weather clears :)
 
Exactlly how much video will a 2 GB card hold? I'd like to get video of the castle lighting and Osbourne Lights and am wondering if I need to buy another card....
 
Exactlly how much video will a 2 GB card hold?

About 16 minutes at the best quality 640x480/30fps....

You can get more on a card using lower resolution or lower speed, but the results are nowhere near as good.

Considering how cheap SD cards are, you should stock up before your trip! :thumbsup2 Between stills and video, I generally shot between 1G and 2G *each day* on our last vacation! :goodvibes
 
I have one for my P&S Minolta but none for the S5, is there one available?
 

Well that sucks...

Oh well...


Thanks for the answer though. I do appreciate it.
 
No problem. I was bummed when the S2 IS didn't have one. I thought they would have fixed that by now. Bummer. I did play with an S5 today and was surprised to see that they finally made a real lens cap for it. That is a step in the right direction!
 
I wish it stayed on better...Also, I want to find a UV filter to help protect the lens...I wonder if I can get one.
 
You can, but you need to probably buy the barrel adapter. I think it is on that page above. If not, I think it is lensmate.com that sells them too. You can attach a filter to the end of the adapter.
 
I am doing the single digit dance! :cool1:

I am also excited about taking my new Canon S5 ! Hoping to get some GREAT pictures!!! I am sure I'll be annoyed with the larger size....last camera fit into my pocket or into the tray section of my stroller.......but the pics will be worth it!
 
Hi! We'll both be there at the same time with our S5s!:goodvibes

You'll be able to recognize me 'cause I'll be the one taking pictures of any and everything!:rotfl:

TC:cool1:
 
Really? I'll be there in 12 days with MY S5 and I thought I was going to be the one taking pictures of anything and everything! :-)

Hope my 6 GB of cards will be enough......:rotfl:
 
OMG, I just counted my cards and I have 11 GB!!!:eek:

I have 1 1 GB card (from my S2), 3 2 GB cards, and 1 4 GB card. I got the 4 GB so I can video the parade at MK.:)

Hi all, I finally got my first Canon digital camera-the S5 IS. I love that the photos seem to be nice and crisp. The main reason I went with this one was because of the color accent mode-thought that would be really cool. However, I am not getting very good results. I took some photos of my family outside today for Christmas cards. I used the color accent to pull out only the color of the red scarves we had on. It did that, but in places the scarf kind of looks gray or black-any tips on using this feature or would I be better off to buy some kind of photo software that has the selective coloring? I have tried a couple of those, but I am not very good at trying to color in a specific color-would like to have some kind of software where you just click a button and tell it what color to accent-does that exist?? Sorry to sound so crazy :goodvibes Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
 
Ok, For those of you who have seen me on here b4 I have finally decided not or get a 35mm & just go w/a digital. I still need a point & shoot camera though. I was wondering what anybody thinks of these 2 cameras. I think that now I'm leaning towards the Sony but want to see some pictures from it 1st. Thanks to anyone who can help!!
 
I don't have either one of those 2 cameras, but I have previous versions, I have an old Sony Cybershot which I replaced with a Canon S3-I last year. I have to tell you that our Canon kicks butt on the Sony.

FWIW, we had another Canon before the Sony and changed because the Canaon had a limited movie mode. I can take up to 1 mg with my S3. The S5 may be even better.
