Canon Powershot S2 IS ... telephoto 12x optical zoom lens and both exceptional digital camera and video functionality, the PowerShot S2 IS gives you the freedom to capture every scene, any way you want.

With Optical Image Stabilizer (IS), Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and a UD lens element, the PowerShot S2 IS's 12x optical zoom is no ordinary lens. Optical IS works to counteract camera shake - even at full zoom and in low light conditions - for ultra sharp photos and movies. USM provides super responsive, smooth and near silent zoom, while the UD element reduces chromatic aberrations for razor sharp images with superb color accuracy. A super macro mode allows for precise focusing no matter how close you get to your subject.

Combine the powerful lens with capacity to shoot up to 60 minutes of VGA quality movies with full stereo sound. A dedicated movie button gets you shooting immediately in either 15 or 30 fps to ensure you never miss those once in a lifetime moments. The Photo In Movie feature allows full resolution digital stills to be taken whilst shooting a movie. The DIGIC II processor delivers incredible 2.4 fps continuous shooting, super fast auto focus and rapid start up, plus superb color rendering and white balance accuracy for natural skin tones and rich, vibrant colors.

For the ultimate in creative control over digital stills and movies, the PowerShot S2 IS provides 18 shooting modes. These include 6 Special Scene modes for great results in tricky lighting conditions, and My Colors for special effect color swapping and manipulation. Direct manual control is available over a multitude of settings, such as focus, IS mode, shutter speed and aperture, and audio sampling rate.

A 1.8" vari-angle LCD maximizes shooting and playback pleasure, with Night Display for improved visibility in low light. Extend your zoom range to a staggering 27mm - 648mm with optional wide- and tele- converter lenses. Other optional accessories available include a close-up lens and High-Power Flash. For your post-shooting creativity, a variety of editing software is included and you can also print direct without a PC to any PictBridge or Canon Direct Print compatible photo printer.

 ... Power Shot with this Canon PowerShot S2IS and after spending some more time reading the manual I'm sure we will be even more pleased than we are now. DO I RECOMMEND IT ......sure do! Yes, it is an attractive camera with a really suitable 'viewing' window for those who want to step up a cog or two with their photography hobby - who knows you may yet be walking the red carpet at the Oscars with your home movie on your PowerShot. It wil be a short movie but I'm sure a good one!!!...more

This is my first camera review and to be honest I haven't a clue where it is going to take me.... or you! My son's wedding day was not the best time to be handed a brand new digital camera to record such an important day's events. I bawked a little at the challenge, asked a few questions and off I went. Well, half an hour later I handed it over to my techno nephew and he took on the role of unofficial photographer of our family event and I am so pleased he did. Then, upon arriving home I got out the Canon PowerShot S2 IS and had a play .... what fantastic results but when it came to downloading the wedding pics I just about went mad. ...  Read the complete review
