A Canon digital camera review of the Powershot S2 is useful if you are looking for a camera with a powerful zoom facility, or a camcorder with stereo sound and image stabilization.
In fact, you don't actually have to choose between these two. Canon has already done that on your behalf. As you will read in Canon digital camera reviews, you can have both in one stylish body: the Canon Digital Camera PowerShot S2...
The predecessor of this Canon was one of the most popular in it's class, and the new model will probably be no exception - especially if you take a look at the new features, as explained in a number of convincing Canon digital camera reviews.
The Canon Digital Camera PowerShot S2 hasn't merely increased its sensor pixels from 3.2 million to 5 million - which is at any rate about the minimum you'd expect from this camera. It has also increased its very popular 10X optical zoom to a 12X version, all the while retaining its most effective optical image stabilization.
Many of the new features coming to light in recent Canon digital camera reviews, are linked to the excellent movie recording capabilities. The Canon Digital Camera Powershot S2 now features stereo sound recording, along with a special wind noise reduction facility for those outdoor recordings - not to mention selectable sound quality and microphone level settings.
Canon digital camera reviews also mention the PowerShot S2's new 'Night Display' feature that brightens the (now larger) LCD and EVF in low light situations. And of course the LCD can still rotate for those self portraits, or when you need to shoot over the heads of people in front of you!
The new Canon Digital Camera PowerShot S2 is powered by the speedy DIGIC II processor, which can also be found in Canon's pro-series D-SLR cameras! According to Canon digital camera reviews, the result is that the PowerShot S2 has a very responsive 2.4 fps shooting capability.
