Digital shutterbugs have been patiently waiting for Canon's update of the outstanding Powershot S1 IS, and their wait is over – the S2 IS is finally here. The S1 IS was incredibly popular because of its fast image stabilized USM 10x zoom lens, its best in class movie mode, its compact SLR like...

After getting my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5, I started having doubts if maybe Canon PowerShot S2 IS was the way to go. The only way to find out was to buy the Canon S2 IS and compare it with my Panasonic FZ5. So I purchased the Canon S2 IS and after using and comparing the two, I chose to keep the...

Pros
Much like the A520 that has been good to us the last couple of years.
Cons
A bit larger body camera and small LED than other comparably priced cameras.
Recommended it?
Yes
My wife and I purchased a Canon PowerShot A520 Digital Camera for her the spring before last. She was quite happy with the camera but she needed another because she wants to use the Power Shot A520 exclusively with the camera club she runs at school. The new one will be her family camera that we...

Pros
Uses 2 AA batteries, compact, 5MP, inexpensive, features, manual controls, image quality
Cons
Slow flash recycle time
Recommended it?
Yes
I am not a big fan of cameras that use 4 AA batteries, which is one of the reasons I consider cameras like Canon A610/A620 and S2 IS less than ideal. But I like cameras that use two AA batteries. Previously, you could only get up to 4MP resolution in this format from Canon (Canon PowerShot A520)...
