Great camera

Even my wife wants to use it and she never expressed interest in my previous cameras

Beautiful pictures right away ; Great distance shots ; Great close ups ; Many options if you choose to use them

Moderately bulky ; Not a pocket camera but comes with a great neck strap

Awesome

Ive heard about other people not liking the lens cap because it keeps falling off but that hasnt been a problem for me. Plust you probably wanna grab a uv filter and adapter anyways so you wont even need the lens cap anymore.

Easy to use for beginners ; Tons of features for experts ; No blurry shots even on full zoom ; Tons of Cheap addons to enhance the camera's capabilities ; Stylish ; Auto mode takes beautifull and fool proof pictures, just point and click ; Above...

I would have liked the lcd screen to be a bit bigger ; if you dont know much about cameras its gonna take you a while to learn and use all the features

12x zoom and 5mp!!

I dunno if they are still doing this, but mine came with a 16mb SD card. What am I supposed to do with that??? It only holds 5 pix. They should include at least a 64 or none at all. I bought a 1gb Patriot card that's 133x from Newegg to go with it....

This camera is amazing! I got it for Father's day, and I have taken some amazing pics with it! The 12x zoom puts you right in the wildlife! And, if you need more, there's a ring you can remove, and add extra lenses (with a lens adapter)

The only thing I'd like to see them improve on is the cover for the connectors. It's one of those flimsy rubber flaps that they all seem to like so well

Very Good Buy

Excellent Value, Great Camera

Continuous Shooting Modes, Lots of Shooting Modes, Great Picture Quality, Fairly Easy to Use

Action shots are hard to get clear, Controls take getting used to, zoomed in pictures get a little "noisy" still guite livable though

Best In Its Class

After a month of research and reading countless reviews of other comparable models I chose the Canon S2 IS and I am very happy I did. This camera takes awesome pictures from all ranges, super macro - telephoto. Coupled with the Adata 2Gig memory card I...

Great camera

Well worthwhile purchase. Although not pocket-sized, it holds more features than a camera this size ahould and if you know anything more about photography than just pressing the shutter button, then this is the camera for you

This is not a D-SLR but it comes real close for stills and way exceeds it with sound and movie capability. The 12x Digital Zoom and 48X total combined with Image Stabilization is incredible. The movie mode is equally great and means you have a...

Movie files are heavy on memory -1GB lasts only 8 mins at highest resolution, 20 mins on next size down. Autofocus in low light is poor and not as good as other makes. The multitude of buttons are difficult to detect when using the viewfinder and using...

Very excellent camera!

I was a little skeptical about getting a SLR-like camera but wanted the higher optical zoom. Image Stabilization works very excellent. Have taken 12X zoomed pics by hand w/o Tripod with high clarity rate. Also bought Tripod too just in case. Video was...

Canon S2-IS Silver 5.0 MP 1.8" 115K LCD 12X Optical Zoom Digital Camera

This is the best! I'm amazed at what this little bundle of technology can do. The size is perfect, optics are superb, 12x optical zoom with IS and impressive movies! The manual is 185 pages so be prepared to spend some time with it. I absolutely love...

Exceptional buy

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820180615 Own the camera, had it for a week. I didn't buy it at NewEgg (wasn't available at the time), but I'm posting a mini-review/advice for others because I buy here all the time, and I'm pretty...
