Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Totally Versatile, 10x optic zoom is awesome. Weakness: Complicated and not a movie camera. We love the camera and would buy one again if we needed another camera. Pictures are bright and brilliant. Flash works great. No red in pictures.

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: easy to use, image stabilized zoom, takes very detailed and clear pictures This is a great camera! It has everything you could want in a camera and is easy to use. It is small, yet has a 10x zoom that allows you to photograph for away objects. I couldn't ask for anything more!

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: 10X, image stabilization, fully programmable yet fully auotmatic. Durable camera that takes excellent pictures Weakness: no real macro capability. I would have liked a way to put on a neutral density filter to protect the lens I have had this camera for 30 days. This camera feels durable and comfortable to use. I have a 256 MB card and rechargable batteries. This combination is wonderful and I havent run into a problem where I run out of space or power. The manual is easy to use and it did not take me long to figure out various functions or menus. I have not even bothered to put it on fully automatic as I find I love...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Optical zoom. Image stabilazation. Great picture quality. Swivel/flip out display. Great manual control. Excellent battery life. Easy menus. Good software. Weakness: Lense Cap. Macros difficult to set up. I have to say that I was nervous about purchasing this camera especially with the somewhat low mega pixel capture. Especially with the S2 IS coming out soon. But it wasn’t worth the wait nor was it worth the additional mega pixels for the price. With the optical zoom and the image stabilization this really isn’t an issue. The majority of my photos are 4”X6” or 5”X7”. This camera takes...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Quiet powerful zoom lens for movies. Lots of manual controls at your fingertips. Tilt and swivel LCD. High quality movie shots for as long as you card allows. Weakness: Small LCD, but then again it tilts and swivels. Small room for your thumb, especially if you have a big thumb. Zooming in picture mode a little too fast, takes some getting used to. No big complain. I've owned Canon cameras for the past 26 years, two 35 mm SLR's and three digitals. This one is the best so far. I like to be in control of the picture taking process, and yet I like to be able to point and shoot when I'm too lazy to mess with the buttons, and this camera does a great job in both areas. A number of manual controls are provided on the camera body so that I don't need to constantly...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Great movie mode (VGA, 30 fps, high-detail)! Great and useful Image Stabilization. Good controls layout. Great feel in the hand (mid-size cam) with perfect grip for right-handers. Enough resolution. Weakness: 3.2 megapixels ... they really should have put a 4 megapixel chip in this (though I am quite content with 3.2 even though I've had more in prev. cam's). First off, I am extremely picky and research purchases almost too extensively before buying. That said, I am VERY HAPPY with the Canon PowerShot S1 IS. I was looking for a camera with a good zoom (7x+), very good image quality, a good quality lens, and it had to also have a VGA resolution movie mode at 30 fps -- I want to catch those video clips that just happen without having to lug around my...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: All those things everyone else said. Canon has a firmware update that addresses some of the negatives indicated by others. Go to the Canon website. It is easy to use. Weakness: No auto focus assist lamp. The firmware update seems to help that delay when you push the button to the actual picture taking. Firmware update (open battery compartment/see a black dot? its done. I am extremely pleased. Ecstatic. I had a four megapixel off brand for three years. It was OK and had the first "consumer" 1 megapixel (Fuji 1200 prior to that). But I degress. The LCD is small, but clear AND flexible. I went to a bear refuge just outside of Yellowstone and got a killer pic of a bear 10 feet in front of me. Everyone else was clicking away at ground level getting half its face and...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Excellent image stabilizer with 10X optical zoom. Manual controls. Very good Image quality. Silent motor. Flip-out and variable-angle LCD. High-quality video mode. Compatible with micro drive. Weakness: Manual focus is a pain. Difficul to focus in low-light. Need more battery. No USB 2.0. I have this camera for one month and have shot more than 1000 pictures. So far I'm very happy with it and all the complaints are really minor. The camera is very easy to use. Some people may get a little confused by all different buttons, but the camera can simply do a good job at the "auto" mode in most cases. The "P" mode is also automatic but it allows more tuning such as ISO setting and color...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge CameraStrengths: Flexibility, size, picture quality Weakness: stock lense cap, MF operation (even cameras this small should allow focus & zoom manually at lense...) I have a Rebel EOS, and couldn't afford to get into the digital market with the digital equivelent at $1,000. I read all reviews online of all cameras at the $500 range, and decided to get the S1IS sight unseen. What sold me was the 10x optical zoom, as I didn't want to depend on digital zooming for anything due to picture degredation. I also liked the fact that the camera modes were labelled the...

Canon PowerShot S1 IS Digital Camera Review
The Canon PowerShot S1 retails for US $399. Although this low price seems great when evaluating the 10x optical/3.2x digital zoom, a positive judgment of the camera is somewhat diminished when the 1/2.7-inch 3.2 effective MP CCD and imaging performance are added to the mix. The considerable size and bulk of the PowerShot S1 make it a camera more suited for static, homebound situations. The LCD... Top

Canon PowerShot S1 IS
optically stabilized zoom lens that's remarkably effective at reducing the effects of camera shake. (Few people realize how hard it is to hold a 10x zoom steady enough to get a sharp photo, even under fairly bright lighting.) Great color, good sharpness, a good lens, and really excellent image-stabilization, all at an affordable price. Definitely belongs on your "short list," if you're shopping... TopAdvertisement

Canon PowerShot S1 IS 3.2 Megapixel Bridge Camera
Strengths: Love the 10X optical zoom, Good movie @ 640x480 30fps Fine mode and you can zoom in while taking movie. Easy to use.
Weakness: As everyone is saying: trouble focusing the object in low light setting. Works better if you don't zoom in.
I will put 100% totally recommended if the low light focusing is better, may be Canon is already working on the next model of S1 which adding the Focus Assist feature (like the S400 or many other Canon's). If you have done your reseach, you should know how many digital camera will do really good in low light setting plus many other good features that pack into a single camera for under $400:...
