This camera is clearly aimed to compete with the other compact big-zoom club, which is currently made up of the Panasonic DMC-FZ5, Konica Minolta Z5 and Sony DSC-H1. Just like the S1 IS the S2 IS utilizes a small USM (ultrasonic motor) to drive its zoom (multi-speed and quiet for shooting movies). Changes compared to the S1 include a body redesign, five megapixel CCD, a bigger zoom lens, DIGIC II, faster continuous shooting, night display function, stereo audio recording and a larger LCD monitor."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/canon-pss2is.jpg" /><br /><br />Canon just continues to release digital camera after digital camera. Beyond Kodak and their <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=54157">ownership of the "woman's market"</a>, can any other company really compete?
