Correct me if I am wrong, but the s5is is not much of an upgrade over the s3is. The sensor isnt any better, only the megapix count has gone up. Ofcourse it does have the hot shoe for attaching a more powerful flash, but nothing really substantial.
I have an s3is myself. its a good cam, but nowhere near an slr! period.
In that range you should also check out the fuji 6500fd. Pretty good cam though bulky and its got raw support too.
But if you willing to spend more cash on your cam n gear in the future, i suggest you stash away the 18k and get an slr when you some more money.
