Canon announces the S2-IS

Apr 22, 2005 1:09AM PDT

Many people were wondering what Canon was going to do about the 3 megapixel 10X S1-IS.

The S2-IS is 5 megapixels and 12X.

They added USB2 and a larger LCD (1.8 inches).
They continue to use the silent ultrasonic Zoom motor, which the video mode users liked.
