Canon PowerShot S2 IS prices and specs
The PowerShot S2 IS was released on Apr 22, 2005 and is on sale in USA for 449.95
The PowerShot S2 IS is a compact camera. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't shoot photos of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Canon PowerShot S2 IS can make photos at 5 megapixels highest resolution. But for better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot S2 IS will take photos with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot S2 IS has portable size. And if you want to produce photos of the best quality pay attention to Nikon D4S.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/3200 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for making action photos of a satisfactory quality. The Canon PowerShot S2 IS can even record videos but the max resolution is not too high - 640 x 480.
The lens is built into the Canon PowerShot S2 IS and the camera owner won't be able to change it. The lens provides amazing 12x optical zoom.
