Canon Powershot S2 IS

Canon has released the new Powershot S2 IS which is a successor to the S1. The S2 has an all new 12x optical zoom (A 35mm equivalent focal length of 36-432mm) with five megapixel and optical stabilizer. This camera is clearly aimed to compete with the other compact big-zoom club which is currently made up of the Panasonic DMC-FZ5, Konica Minolta Z5 and Sony DSC-H1. Just like the S1 IS the S2 IS utilizes a small USM (ultrasonic motor) to drive its zoom (multi-speed and quiet for shooting movies). It also has the new Digic II Image Processor that delivers improved picture quality, AF accuracy and fast processing speed. In addition it also has a fast 1/3200-second shutter speed, 1.8" Vari-angle LCD monitor that allows 180 degree rotation for angled shooting and viewing and an extensive range of shooting modes including; 'Auto', 'Manual', 'Special Scene Modes' and 'My Colours Modes' for perfect results in any situation.
