Overall impressions

In May 2005, I bought a Canon Powershot S2 IS, a digital camera with a 12X image stabilized zoom lens.

I am thrilled with the S2. The image quality is outstanding but you do need to take time to learn how to use it's features and settings correctly. Initially, it can be complicated to learn but it's well worth the effort.
