I've had mine for close on 18 months now, so this is not a review based on the first rush of excitement. The very first impression is one of quality, with a solid, well-engineered body that has...

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...
