Digital Camera Review - Canon Digital PowerShot S2

Choosing a digital camera can seem like a very daunting task. There are so many different brands and models to choose from. Furthermore, they all have different features! You may find yourself thinking "How am I ever going to choose a camera that is right for me?"

I'll try to help make the decision a lot easier for you. One of the best digital cameras out there is the Canon PowerShot s2. It is loaded with great features and is reasonably priced!

This camera is the successor to the s1 and is a huge improvement. Here are some of the new features. The s2 has a 12X optical zoom lens, and is the most powerful one to ever be on a compact Canon camera! There is a manual focus feature if you prefer to focus things yourself. It also has a large 1.8 inch LCD display screen. This makes it really easy to see what you are doing. There is even a new feature called a night display feature. This is extremely useful if you take pictures at nighttime because it brightens the display screen and the EVF when you are in the dark. Another new feature if the DIGIC II image processor. The new processor increases AF speed by about 45% and makes start up time quicker by about 50%! This is a great processor that is usually only used on Canon's pro-series cameras.

Not only does the PowerShot s2 take great quality pictures, but it also comes with a stereo sound recording! You can even make home movies on this camera. Some of the features for movie making include an adjustable microphone level, adjustable sound quality level, and a wind filter.

Once you take a picture on the camera, there's a lot you can do with the picture itself. You can adjust the color quality and even swap the colors or highlight certain parts of the picture! There are nine different color effects. This is a really fun feature of the camera!

If you aren't already convinced that the Canon PowerShot s2 is a great camera, here are some more incredible features: 5 megapixal CCD, optical image stabilization, rotating LCD, a secure digital memory card instead of CompactFlash cards, USB 2.0 high speed support, manual controls as well as automatic controls, and support for various lenses.

This camera is one of the most versatile digital cameras ever! If you are looking for a camera that delivers high quality photographs and has incredible features, then this is the camera for you!
