Digital Camera Fiend - A Camera Review

The Canon Powershot S2 IS is a powerhouse in its field of competition. Released in April 2005, this compact digital camera improved every aspect of its predecessor, the Powershot S1.

It’s got a 12x optical zoom, 5-megapixel resoltuion, and a solid optical image stabilizer. If that’s not enough to sell you on this gem, check out its stellar movie mode–one of the best among digital cameras. Even the movie mode’s stereo sound is high-quality, and you can use the image stabilizer when shooting in this mode.

Sure, the swivel LCD monitor can be a bit difficult to see in bright conditions and pictures shot above ISO200 won’t be ideal, but the Powershot S2 is well-priced, versatile, and will produce quality photos.

Another win for Canon.
