      Canon PowerShot S1 IS

      By Theano Nikitas

      Pros: Optically stabilized 10X zoom ; high-quality video ; solid image quality ; strong enthusiast-oriented feature set ; fast continuous shooting ; variety of optional accessories

      Cons: Complicated control layout ; color fringing at long focal lengths ; 3-megapixel resolution and lack of non-JPEG format limit appeal for enthusiasts

      Verdict: The PowerShot S1 IS's stabilized 10X zoom is a deal maker for enthusiasts who like to handhold distance shots but don't want to make large prints.

      Canon PowerShot S1 IS

      By Paul Jasper

      Review summary: This point-and-shoot looks and feels like an advanced model.

      Verdict: Producing fine photos for a 3.2-megapixel camera and offering plenty of advanced features for a very reasonable price, the S1 IS makes a good choice for hobbyist photographers on a fairly tight budget.

      Review summary: In response to reader requests for more subjective comments on the cameras I review, I'm starting to add "Reviewer's Notes" to my reviews of selected cameras. (Given my seeming perpetual backlog of review work and the added time this takes though, I ...

      Verdict: The S1 IS uses Canon's single-point FlexiZone TTL AF system, which judges focus based on the center of the frame only by default. With a couple of button-presses, the focus point can be moved over most of the image area (with the exception of the ...

      Canon USA Powershot S1 IS Digital Camera Camera

      By Paul Jasper

      Review summary: Designed to resemble a scaled-down SLR camera, the Canon PowerShot S1 IS brings together a lot of advanced features--including the ability to captures video at up to 640-by-480 pixels and 30 frames-per-second with 22-KHz 16-bit sound--for its $499 ...

      Verdict: The S1 IS depleted its four AA batteries quickly. In our tests, we had to change them after only 144 shots. If you plan to shoot a lot of video, constantly zoom the lens, frame potential shots while holding the shutter button halfway down, or run the ...
