Review: When I needed more out of my digital camera than what my C anon A520 could give me, I fell into the unfamiliar jungle of the digital camera world. Megapixels, digital zoom, optical zoom, f-stop, aperture...where ...

Pros: The S2 is fantastic, no more needs to be said

Cons: Nothing worth mentioning

The Bottom Line: Though replaced by newer versions..the S2 is a super camera

Review: Last winter I decided to invest in a new camera and after doing a lot of reading reviews and specs on cameras, I was about to settle for a Canon Powershot S3 but was balking at the price, then I lucked onto a review that compared the S3 to the S2 and I ...

Pros: The lens, IS, the size (smaller than an SLR), the myriad of modes

Cons: The size (larger than a compact); no raw, tiff or hotshoe for flash.

The Bottom Line: Great travel camera. Amazing lens. Love IS. Notes about ratings: battery life and shutter lag minimal, but I use alkaline batteries and a 150x sd card.

Review: I had been looking for a camera that would work well while travelling. I like travelling to out of the way places, primarily with backpacks and having a wide variety of adventures that require versatility. I own a Canon Elan IIe film camera, and have ...

Pros: 12x and fast zoom, lots of manual settings, AA batteries

Cons: price, no RAW, movies and sound clips are huge (no compression), no sport mode

The Bottom Line: Great 12x optical zoom and full manual control. Get it, if you don't mind the price.

Review: I am only an amateur photographer, but I started to like hunting without weapon, so I decided to buy a new better camera (I owned compact Minolta G400 before). After reading many reviews for very similar cameras in this category I chose Canon S2 IS. And ...

Pros: Great zoom, great pics, good battery life, excellent movie mode

Cons: not a pocket camera but they can't all be that small

The Bottom Line: highly recommend if you can find a used or refurb in good shape. I'll use mine till it dies.

Review: I bought my canon S2 IS about 3 years ago when it was the biggest tele zoom on the market(at least in the smaller body). I bout it over the Kodak, sony, and even the panasonic. I wasn't able to find a panasonic fz camera anywhere at my local electronic ...

Pros: Tons of features; Great video capability; Powerful flash.

Cons: Difficult focusing in dim light; Not very ergonomic; No continuous battery life indicator

The Bottom Line: Great features and high quality in a small package. If you want point and shoot that fits in your pocket, go elsewhere

Review: I bought this camera after reading the generally good reviews. I wanted a "crossover" camera that would take great stills and good short video with sound. I have a Nikon 995 currently and it is good for stills but the video is "choppy" and poor ...

Pros: PICTURE QUALITY! AA batteries, big zoom, ease of use.

Cons: Lens cap, very rarely slow AF when max zoomed

The Bottom Line: Buy it-great camera that takes fantastic pictures

Review: This is my third digicam. I started out with with the HP Photsmart 215, and thought I was onto something special. I followed this up a couple of years later with a Fuji Finepix 2650. I found that I wanted two things-optical zoom and more resolution, and ...

Pros: Durable, Even for novice camera users, picture perfect

Cons: Very close up pictures could be a bit better.

The Bottom Line: Buy It. It's fully worth the money and you will not regret this purchase.

Review: Compact 5.0 Mega pixel Digital Camera Super Long 12X Optical / 4x Digital / 48X Combined Zoom with Optical Stabilizer Technology Takes still pictures, while in Movie Form High Quality 30 frames per second movie recording USB 2.0 interface ...

Pros: Image stabilizer really works, sharp pictures, rich colours, unbelievable close-up, exceptional video user friendly

Cons: Flash a bit weak, so-so EVF, AF a bit nervous only at 400mm

The Bottom Line: Great camera for advancing learners who want creative control

Review: This is not a review for techies, for technical stuff see reviews from Howard Creech who is my Guru. I have followed his reviews and he has never let me down. This review is only my experiences with my latest upgrade from Canon A95 to Canon S2 IS. It is ...

Pros: AA Batteries, Video Mode, 12x Zoom, Rapid Fire Photos, Fast Start Up

Cons: Positioning of Menu/Set Buttons

The Bottom Line: Excellent optical zoom and the ability to take top notch quality photos/ video clips (that also take advantage of the zoom) the S2 is the best choice out there.

Review: After some heavy research we settled on the S2. With a young family, we wanted a camera that could take excellent stills of the little ones, but quick 30 second video clips. You know, baby's first steps, the cute little songs they sing, wobbling about ...
