This is because the pronunciation of 4 — “shi” — is the same pronunciation as death. This is the reason why the EOS range jumps from the EOS 3 to EOS 5, and why the latest IXUS digital compacts bucks the trend of the IXUS v2 and IXUS v3 models by becoming the IXUS 400. Indeed, to find a Canon camera with a model number 4 you have to look back as far as the 1950s to the Canon IV." [2]

This camera also uses a DIGIC Image Processor unit which allows the camera to process and shoot pictures at a faster speed — up to 3 frames per second. DIGIC improves the camera’s focus speed, exposure settings, and white balance.
Finally, the G5 also comes with a built-in flash with both manual and auto modes. The flash also has red-eye reduction and slow sync.
