I can't remember where I saw the thread regarding this particular camera so I will ask again and hopefully get a better understanding of the way to take nice pictures using this camera.
I have the Canon power shot S5IS camera and am looking for the type of lenses to add to this nice camera for taking the best pictures possible.
I especially would like to take nice macro photos without breaking my piggy bank!
Do you feel that this is a good camera?
I bought it last year for Christmas and really haven't gotten a good grasp on it as their are so many features that I am very sure of nor am I comfortable with taking the best picture using the best possible setting/s!
Thanks in advance...
I heard something about lensmateonline as having nice lenses and attachments...?

For all practical purposes, you have this camera:

I don't think I would recommend buying any lenses to stick on the front of it.

Your camera has a built-in lens, so you'll have to learn to work with what you've got.

I agree with Slakker, if you have any specific questions I would be happy to answer them.
