-==Reasons for the exclusion of PowerShot S4==
-Canon, based in [[Japan]], omitted the [[4 (number)|number 4]] from the range due to cultural [[superstition]].
-:"The word "four" is read as "si" in Chinese Mandarin and "shi" in Japanese, a close [[homonym]] for the word for death in both languages and in the [[Standard Cantonese|Cantonese]] dialect spoken in Hong Kong." [http://www.hardware-one.com/forum/read_msg.php?tid=214&forumid=seriousth]
-[[Amateur Photographer]] magazine also supported this:
-:"the truth behind the leap from 3 to 5 is one based on cultural superstition &mdash; in Japan, the number 4 is considered unlucky. This is because the pronunciation of 4 &mdash; “shi” &mdash; is the same pronunciation as death. This is the reason why the [[Canon EOS|EOS range]] jumps from the EOS 3 to EOS 5, and why the latest [[Canon Digital IXUS|IXUS digital]] compacts bucks the trend of the IXUS v2 and IXUS v3 models by becoming the IXUS 400. Indeed, to find a Canon camera with a model number 4 you have to look back as far as the 1950s to the Canon IV."
-==Extending the S5 IS Capabilities==
-The firmware enhancement [[CHDK#Custom_firmware|CHDK]] supports the S5 IS, and is available for both the 1.01a and 1.01b firmware versions.
