-The '''Canon PowerShot S5 IS''' is an 8.0 megapixel [[bridge digital camera]] that was announced on May 7, 2007 and launched in June of that same year. It is the fourth of Canon's cameras in the superzoom category, with an integrated 12x zoom lens and [[image stabilization]] technology (IS). It has a DIGIC III processor, which has higher performance than DIGIC II used in its predecessor, 6 megapixel [[Canon PowerShot S3 IS]].

-==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." The EOS 40D, however, is not included in this, as the number 40 is not pronounced the same way, but rather yon-jyuu. [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; For the Japanese, 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."
-==External hot shoe capabilities==
-Compatible with most newer flash systems and older flash systems. Older flashes may require adapters to protect the camera from the high voltages (up to 400 volts in some flashes) of the contact sites. Digital cameras use an electronic device to trigger the flash and if this voltage is high, it can eventually destroy the flash triggering system in the camera.
