| Canon Powershot S2 IS camera |
The PowerShot S2 IS is ready for action! With high resolution, an exceptionally long and superbly engineered zoom, sophisticated movie capabilities and an exciting array of shooting options, this camera can more than handle the busiest lifestyles.
The Canon Powershot S2 IS camera is a 5 megapixel digital camera with a 12 times optical zoom lens. It has a range of advanced features that mark the Powershot S2 IS down as a camera for someone who sees photography as a hobby rather than someone who is looking for a simple point and shoot model.
A lens of this length is especially useful for sports and wildlife photography. Camera shake can be an issue when you are using long lenses. This model has image stabilisation built in to help combat the problem.

Image Quality
Indoors the IXUS 40 was one of the few cameras I have tested to over expose (pictures on the bright side) in really low light. This causes a slight loss of detail, but you may find this preferable to some of the darker images produced by other digital cameras. The indoor portrait is fine although there is a slight loss of definition in the hair.
The IXUS 40 performed well in all the tests without being outstanding. The outdoor shots all produced faithful reproductions of the scenes and conditions at the time the photographs were taken. This is an area where the majority of digital cameras perform well. It didn't quite match the depth of colours that some of its rivals managed to produce, but it coped well with contrasting scenes where areas of light and dark are included.
The macro shot is bright and clear when compared to others, but there is some purple fringing to the shot that I haven't come across to this degree before. Continue reading : Canon IXUS 40 Digital Camera |
