The successor to the image-stabilized S1 IS has more than just a slightly expanded waistline.
The Canon PowerShot S2 IS is well designed overall and feels well balanced, even for one-handed shooting.
The IS in the Canon PowerShot S2 IS's name stands for image stabilizer and, in combination with the camera's 12X optical zoom (36-432mm in 35mm-equivalent terms), provides the main attraction.
Thanks to the company's Digic II processing, Canon's PowerShot S2 IS performs admirably.
As expected, our test shots were generally very good, with appropriately saturated colors, accurate exposures, and sharp focus--the last, thanks to the Canon PowerShot S2 IS's excellent image stabilizer.
