You know I am all for Canon but the S5IS sucks at high ISO .

Both cameras looks good...What you looking for?

Well they are both more or less even the "IS" on the Canon will be better and the Kodak seems to handle high ISO better.

Also consider the Kodak EasyShare Z1012 $268.00 on Amazon.com

"It only looks serious. The Z1012 is pure fun to use. Though it appears like an SLR camera, the Kodak Easyshare 1012IS sports a long 12x optical zoom with its 33-396 mm (35 mm equiv.) f/2.8-4.8 SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH VARIOGON Lens. So even though you can't change lenses, the focal length means you don't have to. 10.1-megapixel resolution captures still images at up to 3672x2748 for exquisite detail. Want to take movies? Kodak's Easyshare 1012IS does that too (even in high-definition) at resolutions of HD (1280 720) at 30 fps; VGA (640 480) at 30 fps; QVGA (320 240) at 30 fps - with Quicktime and MP4 compression for stereo sound in HD mode. It's simple to use with lots of automatic settings. Want to be creative? There are manual and semi-automatic modes too. Optical image stabilization helps keep images blur free. Get ready for some great shooting and even better results with the EasyShare Z1012IS. 2.5 TFT LCD File management on camera - delete, undo delete, copy, protect, text tagging 32 MB internal memory available, SDHC SD card expansion slot Optical image stabilizer Face detection technology Panorama stitch mode KODAK PERFECT TOUCH Software PC and Mac compatible ISO sensitivity auto, 64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (6400 @ 3 megapixel mode only) Unit Dimensions W H D - 108.5 74.2 76.6 mm; Weight - 325 g"

Great news..

This shot is with the Z8612IS. I really like the 12x zoom. It sucks tho that the camera doesn't have an Electronic-Viewfinder to aid in stabilisation. Edited the image a little with trial version of Lightroom2 & photoshop.
