i had to get a new digital camera because i needed better battery life and better zoom. i have my trusty little canon s100 but the battery life sucks on it and its only 2.1MP so i decided to go looking for a new one. im used to the canon interface and they just kick ass so i couldnt go wrong. i bought the new canon S1 IS and it smokes its competition. for $500, its worth every penny. i love the adjustable screen and the 10x optical zoom. the picture quality is badass, especially for a 3.2 MP camera but size isnt everything. its a great choice if you dont want to go up to the SLR level but just desire the point n shoot ease. i stand behind its quality.
