Review of Canon PowerShot S1 IS by GeorgeSeah

Advantages: Uses 4 x 'AA' Batteries, 10x Optical Zoom, Adjustable Flash Brightness, Swivel screen
Disadvantages: 3.2MP, ISO up to 400 only, 1.5" LCD screen,

...additional flash device) This Canon baby features Conversion Lens Adapter, which allows you to buy your own lens and fix it in. Personally, i own a wide angel lens and a macro lens. It's 1.5" TFT LCD screen might seem a bit small for image viewing, but able to make it swivel and flip allows you to take a photo in all angles. (Including upskirts, haha) For example, like holding your camera above your head and you still can see what you are shooting. ...

Not to forget the crisp clear sound as well. Be sure to get a bigger CF Card if you're a movie maker. My current 256mb card can only record for a couple of minutes if i select the highest resolution. Oh, did i mention that you can manual focus while using your manual viewfinder too? It has ... Read review

I'll certainly stick with Canon in the future
Review of Canon PowerShot S1 IS by michaeladent taken from ciao.co.uk

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 I very like about this camera. Also the manual that comes with the camera is very easy to use. I will recommend this camera to anyone who still can't make up their mind.... Read review

Review for those not totally up on technical blurb
Review of Canon PowerShot S1 IS by MrsBee taken from ciao.co.uk

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 prints. For me, the single best feature of this camera is the image stabilising lens. This is a clever bit of Canon's lens technology that you would normally find in the very expensive lenses used by professionals. It means that when zooming in on subjects, the sort of hand and body movements that would normally make your pictures all blurred are eliminated. I'm very shaky-handed and not one... Read review

Money Incredibly well spent
Review of Canon PowerShot S1 IS by Neil_C taken from ciao.co.uk

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

...I needed, and wanted, a good digital camera. My requirements were quite specific for what I wanted to do with the camera, and I did a lot of research into different cameras. I wanted a camera to: - Take good pictures at good resolution (doesn't everyone?) mainly for the internet - Take movies for as long as the memory card you buy allows - Be able to shoot in dark conditions - Have a good zoom, that has an image stabiliser, for watching sports and various leisure activities I looked 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... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

The PowerShot S1 IS lets you get incredibly close to your subject. Its 10x optical zoom lens with IS is ideal for detailed shots. The enhanced Movie Mode means you can really move in on the action. Because it's not always possible to get really close to your subject, the PowerShot S1 IS combines an impressive 10x optical zoom lens with an Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) and Ultrasonic Motor (USM). This not only gives you a powerful zoom (38-380mm in 35mm format) but the USM allows for quiet and super-fast zooming, so you won't miss the shot you want and, for nature photography, won't scare any wildlife away. The IS significantly reduces camera shake at full zoom and in low light conditions. The result is incredibly detailed shots whether you want close-up pictures of an exotic bird or your child's winning goal. Combine the zoom with the PowerShot S1 IS's enhanced Movie Mode and you can record detailed movies with superior, flicker-free VGA resolution. Using a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second for super smooth action, the PowerShot S1 IS automatically adjusts the exposure, focusing and white balance as you film. You can use the optical zoom to manually change your composition at the same time. The result is an impressively improved image quality and sound. And as you can record up to approximately 1GB of movie (depending on the size and speed of the memory card used), recording times are longer. As with every Canon digital camera, the PowerShot S1 IS uses Canon Visionary Technology to ensure the best performance possible. Using Canon's unique iSAPS technology to optimize shooting settings, the high-performance DIGIC processor for fast processing and Image Rendering technology for accurate reproduction of colors, the PowerShot S1 IS delivers incredible results every time. For greater creative control, the PowerShot S1 IS has 12 shooting modes - from Manual to Auto, plus 1 custom setting. A complete range of optional accessories is also available, such as wide/tele converter lenses and a waterproof case. Post-shooting, a variety of editing software is included, and you can print directly to a PictBridge or Canon Direct Print compatible photo printer without using a PC.
