Advantages: 10x Optical Zoom, Incredible Movie Caption, Excellent Image Stabiliser, Very easy to produce great photos, shoots very well in light and dark conditions Disadvantages: Only 3.2 megapixels, no option for attachable flash
...at various products. The Canon Powershot S1 IS came out top every time for me. I looked at dpreview and read a lot about other contenders - but the Sony equivilents didn't have movie capabilty, or a decent enough zoom, so I went for the Canon.
I'm so glad it's untrue.
Firstly, if you're going to buy any digital camera make sure you don't let yourself down by having a poor memory card. I bought a 1Gb Ultra II Sandisk card in order to get very ...

Advantages: Value for money and features Disadvantages: Slow autofocus on max zoom in dim light
...I dusted off my old Canon A1 35mm film SLR with its 70-210 zoom to get me closer to the birds. But film is expensive, and difficult to file. Digital is now my preferred method.
My 3 daughters all have Canon A40 or A60 digital cameras and they seem pretty durable, so I've kept an eye on other Canon digital cameras.
I started to get itchy fingers and wondered whether a bigger optical zoom on a digital would help. Most were very pricy, and I didn't ...

...first digital camera.
This was the Canon A70. I went for this as it had all the manual controls that I required, was small and it was relatively cheap. After playing with it for some time and appreciating the flexibility of digital I was very impressed with what you could do once you have taken the actual picture and also with Canon. After a while I found the zoom of the A70 to be limiting as I attend a number of sporting events and found the 3x ...

Advantages: 10x Zoom, Image Stabiliser, Easy to use Disadvantages: Only 3.2 Megapixels, No hot shoe
OK, this is my second Canon digital camera. I've now been shooting with it for 18 months, have taken over 7000 shots, and all in all the results have always been excellent.
The 10x optical zoom has come in very handy. Autofocus at 10x zoom in low light is not always accurate, but I suspect this will be a similar problem in other cameras. In daylight the autofocus rarely gets it wrong. At shorter zoom levels the autofocus is excellent. Zoom is ...

Advantages: Great quality, 10x zoom (real zoom), image stabilising lens, will give you great photos Disadvantages: 3.2 mpixles but this is easily outweighed by the other features
I bought this camera about a year and a half ago to take to Australia for a 5 week trip.
I agonised about which camera to buy, did I want a small one, one with a big screen, one with as many megapixels as possible?
In the end I plumped for quality over quantity (so to speak), that's a great quality lens and features over megapixels.
The Powershot is 'only' 3.2 megapixels, but this would be adequate for most people, allowing you to print good A4 ...

Advantages: Exeptional picture quality, easy to use Disadvantages: quite large camera, only 3.2 mega pixels
I have had this camera for just over a year now and I'm very happy with it. I bought it especialy for the coming of our first baby boy. As a woman and not realy one into technology, I found it very easy to use.I have taken thousands of photographs in a year, and loving it. It is a great camera and although slightly bigger than one would expect nowdays, the quality of the pictures is amazing.You can even take a black and white pictures, which is what ...
