I highly recommend this camera for those with picture quality concerns. Colors are vibrant and pictures are crystal clear. I had no problem with lens cap as mentioned in other digicam review websites.

 


No-nonsense megazoom S2 IS from Canon

Opinion:
Being a brand leader, Canon always delivers quality and reliability and the S2 IS is no exception. Where else can you find a USM motor, tiltable LCD, image stabilizer, video with zoom ability, stereo audio output, 500 shots with 4 AA batteries within a well-designed PowerShot S2 IS!?

 

Great cam, bought it based on reviews

Opinion:
Bought the camera the second day it was introduced in Singapore. Have been playing with it since. Battery life is wonderful. Bought 2 sets of Sanyo 2500 NiMH AA batteries with the refresh charger to go with it but one set would last almost 3 weeks before I have to change the batteries.

Excellent choice before moving on to DSLR

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
As you can see the bad is the cap, space between buttons and manual flash. It simplys means resolution, sharpness, speed, features and functions are superb. Excellent 0cm macro, very usable 2-speed zoom, excellent image stabilization (tip: use shoot only mode), excellent EVF. With a 12x, 432mm equivalent (48x with digital) and manual mode, it is almost a DSLR. Perfect camera to play with before moving onto DSLR.
