The 8-megapixel compact camera has 12x Optical zoom lens which offer long reach with its 432 mm length. But despite its long reach, the lens has its downside: its 36 mm equiv does not support wider picture.

To provide great photos, the Canon s5is features intelligent image technologies including Face Detection that automatically recognizes and captures faces; Image Stabilization which prevents blurry images which are caused by unstable hands or fast-moving subjects; and Red-eye removal that corrects the color of the eye (red-eye happens when a person looks directly into the camera and its light bounce back).

To allow users to take pictures even in low-light environment, the camera features sensitivity range of ISO 80-1600 and multiple shooting modes to accommodate different lighting conditions.

One of its most notable features of this camera is the movie support including dedicated button and a recording capability of 30fps frame rate. Other features that will allow users to capture great VGA videos are: Ultra-Sonic Motor for responsive video zooming; Ultra-low Dispersion that makes the color sharper and more vivid; and Optical Image Stabilizer and faster shutter speed to prevent blurry videos.

The Canon s5is also has an impressive stereo sound to support high-quality audio files.
