Amazon.com Product Description
Put the power of advanced photography in your hands with the Canon PowerShot S1 IS ultra-zoom digital camera. With its super-long Zoom, amazing stability and true Movie Mode, the PowerShot S1 IS brings a new dimension to the PowerShot line. Equipped with a host of top-quality features, this stylishly compact camera lets you create stills and movies like you've never done before. p B10x Optical 38-380mm Zoom with exclusive Optical Image Stabilizer/Bbr Close, closer, closest: the high-speed Zoom Motor moves you in at top speed in near silence. So the high-resolution, super long 10x Optical 38-380mm Zoom Lens (35mm equivalent) with Canon's exclusive optical Image Stabilizer can let you capture the action with an intensity you've never seen before. Canon's shift-type optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, which significantly reduces the effects of camera shake--an important feature for high-magnification lenses. Tiny movement detection gyros and a correcting lens element counteract the effects of lens shake to deliver sharper final images. The resulting compensation is the equivalent of between 2 and 3 extra stops, which means the camera can be used at slower shutter speeds without a tripod without any detectable increase in image blur. p clear=left table align="center" border="0" TR TD div align="right" img BORDER="0" hspace="5" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/10x-optical-zoom.gif" /div /TD TD img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/38mm.jpg" /TD TD img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/380mm.jpg" /TD /TR TR TD . /TD TD BISMALL38mm /SMALL/I/B/TD TD BISMALL380mm /SMALL/I/B/TD /TD /TR TR TD height="12" /TD TD height="12" /TD TD height="12" /TD /TR TR TD /TD TD /TD /TR TR TD img BORDER="0" hspace="5" align="left" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/image-stabilizer.gif" /TD TD img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/image-stabilizer-off.jpg" /TD TD img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/image-stabilizer-on.jpg" /TD /TR TR TD . /TD TD BISMALLImage Stabilizer off /SMALL/I/B /TD TD BISMALLImage Stabilizer on /SMALL/I/B /TD /TR /table p clear=left BOptics and Resolution/Bbr The PowerShot S1 IS features a maximum resolution of 3.2 megapixels, or 2048 x 1536 pixel images--enough for prints up to 11 x 14 inches. It also has 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480 resolution modes. The camera features a 10x, f/2.8 - f/3.1, 38-380mm (35mm equivalent) optical zoom lens. The zoom is driven by a tiny ultrasonic motor (USM), which uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive a tiny rotor that is powerful and highly responsive. In digital still modes it drives the zoom at maximum speed, while in video mode it slows for a smooth effect and runs virtually silent, avoiding interference with video sound recording. p BVari-Angle LCD with enhanced resolution /Bbr table TR TD i1.5" LCD Monitor with two brightness levels/i: Shoot from any angle with the PowerShot S1 IS's rotating Vari-Angle LCD Monitor.

 Amazing! October 21, 2008
Sarah Adley (Peru, ME United States)
I have had this camera for over five years and have carried it almost everywhere with me. This camera has hiked the Great Wall of China as well as carried around in my backpack on a daily basis. I have never had any mechanically problems with it, nor have I ever lost any pictures. You don't have to spend extra money on more MP's if you plan on using it to do regular sort of stuff. I can not say enough about this amazing product. [....]
 More damage than expected. September 30, 2008
Richard A. Becker (Camarillo, CA)
The lens mount trim ring was glued in place making it impossible to add an accessory lens, and possibly making service repairs more costly or impossible. This was not revealed in the description, and cost me shipping both ways to find out.
A super camera... while it lasted. Canon has great service... April 24, 2008
Chirag Patnaik (Noida, NCR, India)
I bought this camera way back in 2004. I took it on numerous trips, Thailand, Bombay and of course I used it at home as well... br / br /It gave fantastic service, I took some really great photos all over. I had trouble iwth it once, when I had to take it into Canon repair for the pop up flash, which wouldn't pop up. br / br /Apart from that, nary a complaint. (Being a novice photographer, I guess I wasn't too demanding to begin with). br / br /About six months ago, the LCD/EVF conked off... I would get a haze and then later I would get a line and black screen. The first few weeks I was in denial. It can't happen to me etc. and then I was too busy to take it in for repair. I was to go on another overseas trip, so I finally decided to get the camera fixed and handed it into canon. br / br /I was told, that the parts to fix are not being made any more. My first reaction as... oh crap. br / br /BUT, they replaced this camera with Canon PowerShot Pro Series S5 IS 8.0MP 12X FREE of charge. br / br /Thank You Canon! I need to buy a Point and Shoot. No prizes for guessing, which brand of camera I'm going for...
Canon PowerShot S1 IS Camera March 8, 2008
Thomas Edison (Georgia)
I purchased this camera in Oct 2004. In January 2008 the viewfinder went blank (dark) no picture. Before this, it had a few pictures with lines through them (distorted). I did not purchase this camera from Amazon. This camera worked great for me and took really good pictures, but I am very disappointed that it would break just a little over 3 years old. It should last longer than this. I carried it back to the store where I had purchased it, because I had the service plan. After 3 weeks, they called and told me they would do an exchange because they could not get the parts to fix it. I did like this camera but it is just a shame that it does not last long.
3.2 MP still created beautiful poster prints! February 3, 2008
M. Barnes (Louisville, KY)
I bought this camera with my then-boyfriend to backpack across Europe with for the summer of '05, and it was, with a few exceptions, perfect for the situation. It was worth the extra 3 pounds given the options of the smaller point and shoots that year, especially with the 10x zoom. Our outdoor shots were phenomenal, and though it's very tricky to get a good shot in low-light situations without a flash - which I'm not really a fan of using - we got some very good shots at night and indoors. The 3.2 mp is deceivingly awesome as well, I've been able to make beautiful poster-size prints out of many shots!! I wouldn't buy it again because there are more improved point-and-shoots available now, but there are some features that rival even the performance of some of today's camera's. br / br /I've heard of the fabled "E18 error" with these Canon models, and complaints of various problems from poor build quality, but this thing survived in top condition through being tossed around in our hiking backpacks for two months; trains, taxis, long treks on foot, camping, and even a moped tour. It took a fair amount of knocks without problems, and is still working great 2 1/2 years later. br / br /My only complaints are the sluggish, sometimes 2-second delay response of it's picture taking (which is helped by depressing the shutter button halfway to give time for the autofocus to figure things out), it's less than awesome performance with action shots, and the aforementioned difficulty with low-light. Other than that, I'm sorry that my ex-boyfriend got custody of it!
