Good Points

12 times zoom
Excellent optical image stabilization
Good video and stereo audio
Great battery life when using NMIH rechargable AA batteries.
LCD screen can be turned in all directions, great flexiblity.
Feels good in hand... great ergonomics
Flash spreads light well, no hotspots.
Looks great, feels robust.


Bad Points

NMIH rechargable AA batteries and charger not supplied. Standard AA batteries are only supplied.
16Mb memory card too small. This is just a token card to get you started. 5 shots only at high resolution at least 250 Mb card recommended.
LCD screen a little on the small size at 1.8 inch and lowish resolution.


General Comments

Canon PowerShot S2 IS - Great camera with too many features to list. Takes great photos in auto mode and can be used manually with fantastic results. High quality video and audio capture.

For a person like myself who has never owned a digital camera, this takes quite a bit of learning to use it proficiently. The lens is fantastic and zoom is great. I bought this camera to take shots of my kids playing sport and dancing performances. The healthy 12 times zoom performed magnificently and the optical image stabilization is fantastic.

I waited a long time for a special digital camera to come along, this Canon PowerShot S2 IS Digital Camera was worth the wait. Apart from the above mentioned bad points, this camera comes very highly recommended. There is nothing that it can't do well.
