I bought this camera as a second digital for basic point and shoot pics and have been really impressed with the results. Great results every time - well almost! Not so great under low lighting situations and flash not at all good.
Problems:
Supposed to be compatible with Microdrives but mine isn't. I had to send it back to Canon complete with stuck Microdrive but Canon UK really don't want to know. The retailer checked the Microdrive too and agreed there was nothing wrong with it - the problem is with the S50 as the drive slips in and out of other cameras with ease. Pretty cheesed off about that as the Microdrive cost me pretty penny and I bought the S50 because of it's compatibility with microdrive. Have now had to buy some Type 1 cards instead so am well out of pocket!!! No points for Canon's attitude to the problem either!!!
