So, you need to buy a digital camera either for yourself or someone else. The problem is, you've never bought a digital before, and you don't have the time to get up to speed on all the pros and cons of digital cameras.

The S5 has a nice 12X optical zoom for those times when want to be out of the scene but still want a close candid shot.
Camera lenses are much more tangible, and we can at least, quite literally get a feel for them. A well constructed heavy lens, is simply going to feel better than a cheap light, plastic lens. While weight is obviously not the main factor to be considered here, you can get a good feel for the lens you'll be buying, and how it works by holding it.
The biggest factor in good pictures, however, has nothing to do with the camera, and everything to do with the person holding the camera. You! It's good to look around, do your research, and see what cameras are out there before making your actual purchase.
