CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Optical image stabilizer; Ultra-sonic Motor; 12x optical zoom; super macro shooting. 8
out of 10View score
The bad: Lens cap a hassle to deal with; manual pop-up flash; little space in between control dials.
The bottom line: An upgrade from the PowerShot S1 IS, this camera aims to please consumers who want to shoot like a pro.
