"Canon Powershot Camera-shutter speed?"
2009-09-15
- Reviewed By User: A2HHK7SNH17EAK
I have read several of the reviews on this camera and I agree that it is user friendly and that it does take great pictures. The zoom lens works wonderfully ..but no one has mentioned the shutter speed. I have a difficult time capturing the shot because the shutter speed is very slow. Trying to capture that special moment in my grandson's face is impossible. Its just not quick enough..no one else has mentioned this. I love the camera otherwise.
"Canon IS S2 CCD Glue let go so no LCD or Viewfinder image"

I have had my S2 IS since 2006. I recommended it to 2 other friends who also purchased it from Amazon as I did. This spring (2009), one of the fellow purchasers reported that her LCD was blank when she tried to take a photo. I did some research for her online and found the problem with the Canon S1 (the predecessor to this one) which had glue let go that connected the CCD to the connector. Canon acknowledged the problem with the S1 and did a recall. Some of the early S2's apparently had the same bad lot of Sony CCDs and my friend's camera was one of the bad ones. She talked to Canon Customer Service and got the standard line that she could send it in and it would cost upwards of $150 to fix the camera. She had been very happy with the photos she took with the camera and wanted it fixed but I counselled her to stick for Canon repairing it for free! She ended up writing a letter to the Canon CEO with the details, her love of the camera and disappointment in what Canon was offering. The upshot is that she had Canon peppering her with phone calls and they fixed the camera better than new! She is very happy - no cost to her - not even shipping!
So to those of you with this problem, do what she did. A little research, some kind words about Canon, and a request for them to do the right thing. It worked for my friend and it should work for you. Perhaps Canon will just do a blanket order to fix this at any time as a result.
BTW I have taken thousands and thousands of photos with this camera and I just love it. I find the 5MP is sufficient for what I do.
Best to all,
Vi
"Own it over 3 years"

I own this camera over 3 years. I didn't have majority problems with it.
The thinks which I like are:
- Good picture quality on daylight.
- Like the super macro mode.
- Very satisfied with movie mode. I even stopped using my digital camcorder.
- Stereo recording. Very good sound quality
The things which I don't like:
- Poor picture quality on low light. The pictures are noisy and greinee. Especially if you are using ISO setting over 200.
- Problems when transferring bigger movie files to computer. Sometimes it just can transfer bigger movie file. In that case I have to take out the SD card and use a card reader to transfer it. I'm using 2 GB SD card.
- Doesn't want to work with rechargeable batteries or low priced batteries. It use to work before, but now it doesn't want. Now I'm using only brands like Duracell or Energizer. I read in internet that maybe the problem is that the rechargeable batteries are usually with lower voltage than the other brands. Very good performance with lithium batteries, but they are more expensive.
- 2 dead pixels so far
Overall: good quality from Canon. How many times is dropped on the floor and still survives. ;-))Canon Powershot S2 IS 5MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
"Awesome Camera, especially for beginners"

We actually own the Canon Powershot S2 - bought off Amazon Marketplace. I would HIGHLY recommend doing this to anyone who thinks they want a digital SLR camera. We knew we wanted something better, but did not want to break the bank on a high end camera that we wouldn't make use in terms of features. This camera is excellent. It has pushed us to take better, more high quality pictures, and to try for more artistic shots. We mostly use it to capture day to day things with our babies (who doesn't love baby pictures!), but we try to do some more artsy stuff when we can. I love that the money we spent makes me feel okay about lugging the camera everywhere and using it as a point and click because if we had splurged on a $500-$1000 camera and we weren't using all the features, I'd feel guilty. This gives us the best of both worlds!
The camera is lightweight (considering the bulkiness of digital SLRs).
The shutter speed is good, but we know we want better with the next camera - too many pictures come out fuzzy because people move.
The zoom is AMAZING, and so quick I can take a picture of my toddler, then zoom in to her face and get another shot before she moves.
The camera takes 4 AA batteries, but doesn't eat through them any faster than your average point and click camera. Considering the features this offers, I think the battery life is great.
The camera has a number of scenes you can use, which was especially great when we were at the beach or when we are having bbqs at night in the summer.
Lastly, the video recording is fantastic!!! The speaker is excellent, the quality of the video is as good as our video camera, if not better, and the format of the movies is compatible with everything (we can load them directly to Picasa, which is a plus!).
"Excellent camera!"

I sold my original S2IS over a year ago and missed it ever since. I had a chance to buy another and did so. I'm very happy to get this camera back because it's probably the best all-around camera I have ever owned. It takes great photos and excellent movies with stereo sound too and have never had a camera that could beat it. Glad to have it back.
