You mentioned that the SX30's lens closes down to f/5.8 (at 840mm), whereas the S5 does f/3.5 (at 432mm), so the real question is what f-stop does the SX30 do at 432mm? Care to check for us?
You err on saying the Canon S30 is 9.8 Megapixels. It's 14 Megapixels.
I currently own both. Despite the obvious advantages of the S30 (mainly in good light), the S5 has the advantage of an f/3.5 lens at full tele whereas the S30's lens closes down to f/5.8 at full tele.
