Canon - PowerShot S2 IS Digital Camera Reviews

I'LL talk about Canon SX20IS.  I shoot all kinds of stuff with all kinds of cameras. I am a working photographer who shoots for advertising and corporate client as well as to make images for my own books about photography. Over the last two years I've been using small cameras like the Canon G10 and the SX10 for more and more of my work. In the studio, shooting set up shots or small products these cameras shine by dint of their easy to use Live View and increased depth of field. When I bought the SX 10 it was for the long range of the zoom lens which meant I could shoot anything from a construction...

I love my Canon PowerShots!  The Canon PowerShot S2 IS was supposed to be an easier to use version than what I already had.  The pictures it produced were amazing.  I like how the flash does not pop up automatically, but instead the little indicator on the swivel-out LCD screen flashes red when you need to manually open the flash.  The user-friendlyness of this camera was not as obvious as other Canon models I have owned in the past, and I actually had to read the manual to figure out what a lot of stuff was.  If I hadn't been familiar with Canon already, I'm pretty sure I would have been...

The Cannon IS2 is an older camera than what is circulating now, but it still provides great assurance for those perfect shots.  I love taking photos of everything.  There is not a place I go that I don't have my camera attached to me.  I am always ready, with an extra sd card and it is so easy to plug right into my pc to dowload all the pics.  They download quickly and I can get right back in the game!  One button to turn the camera on and you are ready to shoot!  There are alot of other buttons to adjust all kinds of different settings, for the more advanced photographer.  So many different...

The Canon S2-IS is a great camera for what it is.  I know it is a little old by now, I think they're up to S7-IS or something by now, but I would suggest this or anything in the S-IS series.  It is only 5 MegaPixel (which is what they're making some cell phone cameras by now)  but that is no big deal as long as you're not planning to blow any pictures up bigger than 8x10.  It is good for a family camera, a little bulky, so it's more for the amature photographer.  Not necessarily something you can pop into a purse and run, although I used to carry mine around that way. 

A few negatives about...

I have had the Cannon S2 IS camera for three years. It has been a great camera for everything. It takes better pictures that I thought it would. It has tons of functions and plenty of zoom. You can zoom as far as a eight hundred yards and as close as a quarter inch. It will take pictures in black and white, and other colors. There are tons of settings such as portrait, landscape, action, dark, light, custom, and others. It will also take movies. I use this as a camcorder instead of buying a camcorder. It takes great movies. This camera has a flash, but it is not automatic. You have to pull it up...

I love this camera and have ever since I bought it. It takes amazing photographs without the use of additional attachments like lens and lights. It has 9mp which delivers beautifully clear pictures and large size photos to use on the computer. There are so many different features to use which is still something I have to learn and figure out for them all but I am looking forward to it. I recently took it to a concert and we sat far away from the stage, I used the zoom with both the photos and video and it zoomed all the way right up to the performer. The video was so clear it was like HD quality....
