Review: Hello, I have writen a short 'pictorial review' of the S1 from an ameture point of view here: http://www.theteh.com/html/canon_s1_mini_review.html Pro:
1. Great IS for 10x zoom especially when the light is low
2. Good handling but need some getting used to
3. 3.2M is more than enough for printing 5x7 or even 6x8
4. Excellent Movie function (640x480, 30fps, see samples in my review)
5. very compact camera even at full 10x zoom.
6. Very good battery life with NiMH rechargeables (1800~2300mAh) Cons:
1. Zoom can be TOO fast sometimes, but once used to the two speed (fast and slow) zoom, no problem.
2. Lens cap could be better, it is too loose hence falling off all the time, but could be fixed by adding more padding inside the cap. If you use lens adapter (in black only, no silver) for adding filters, the lens cap won't fit the filter (52mm) unfortunately.
3. No AF lamp and AF in low light is slow and tend to freeze LCD/EVF when half pressed.
4. ISO400 is too noisy for printing. Overall: 4 star! Despite the cons, I would still recommend this camera to someone who wants 10x zoom and high quality video. |
