Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot S2 IS 5MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

Customer Review: Fix that silly, flippy lens cap!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great camera. Amazing stability for telephoto, and ability in low light. The lens cap flaps around, though. I fixed it by using velcro to keep the cap stuck to the camera strap until it is put back on the lens.

Customer Review: More than your money's worth
Summary: 5 Stars

I have owned this camera for a year and a half. I have taken pictures with it indoors, at the beach, on the open ocean, in the jungle. The camera performs flawlessly in all situations, and never fails to deliver optimum quality images. It is sturdy, withstands rough treatment and the elements, versatile, easy to use, and produces excellent quality pictures unless you are an over-demanding professional photographer. For the price, features, ease of use, quality of photos (and video, too), this is definitely an excellent camera that will not disappoint, and will faithfully carry out its mission in all conditions...to take good pictures.

Customer Review: Black Screen - No Picture on LCD
Summary: 1 Stars

I've owned the S2 for a little over two years and have had the black screen of death problem for the second time last month. When using the camera it appears that the iris or shutter gets stuck closed and no image appears on the LCD screen. The first failure occurred just before the 1 year warranty period was over so was covered under the warrany, but the camera failed again recently and Canon wants $129 to repair it or $190 to upgrade to an S3. The S3 seems to suffer from the same problem, so that's not a very good option. Spending more money to repair the camera doesn't seem very good use of money either since it most likely will fail again in a year or so anyway.

Customer Review: Great camera!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great little camera! I am very happy with the quality of pics it takes. Easy to use. Not too big or too small. Canon makes the best cameras, in my opinion. This camera is definitely not a disappointment.

Customer Review: Great camera while it worked (17months)
Summary: 2 Stars

My wife and I liked the camera a lot, but our experience with Canons is that they last until just past the warranty. Not going to buy a Canon next time.
