Canon - PowerShot S2 IS Digital Camera —

This camera has all the options a novice/intermediate digital camera user needs. It still has options that I haven't even gotten to after a year of owning it. I love that there are so many settings depending on where/when you are taking pictures. For example it has: beach, snow, night, fireworks, etc.
Flash is easy on/off and I don't get much red eye in my pictures.
It is just as easy to download the pictures to my computer without any special software.

Although it is a little bulkie at times, it has so much to offer that i look beyond that all the time.
