The auto features work well for the novice and it gives you full expansion for when you grow. Just get a decent zoom lens and be done with it. It has a built in flash, you don't need filters (the s5 won't have any?) you'll need a camera bag and possibly a tripod with any camera. Look at it like this. you can get the body and a decent lens, then a few years down the road, instead of upgrading your camera, just buy a new lens. Whamo... you got a new camera. The pro-sumer point and shoots are just a tease... and i think you might be regretting buying one after a few months.

my point exactly, how much does the s5 run for? $300 i started with this camera as well and like grim said i had the same experiences but i ended up selling it because i wanted more. You can get a xt use a stock kit lens and be content of taking some very good picture even with the kit lens.
its like a bike, why get the 600 if u just are gonna get rid of it for a bigger bike after you learn? =P well at least what my biker buddies say.
