My latest toy, the Canon S2is I got myself a new toy recently, a Canon PowerShot S2is. It is in the 'super-zoom' or mini-SLR category with a 12x Optical Zoom, 5 megapixel CCD and very good anti-shake technology. Canon have a done a really super job with this, I am most impressed. The zoom is ultra smooth and the picture quality superb. You can shoot movies in 640x480 at 30 fps and you can zoom at the same time! The results are excellent. And you know those black and white shots where just one color remains? Well, you can do that too - you point the camera at the color you want to keep, it remembers that, and then you take your shots. Sweet. Its nearest, and slightly cheaper, competitor is the Panasonic FZ5, but if you can afford the Canon, go for it, its stellar. Hey, and the ZoomBrowser software it comes with is very good too. I recently had to try to use the software that comes with the Nikons. In a word: confusing. 6:41:34 PM    comment []
