'Designed to resemble a scaled-down SLR camera, the Canon PowerShot S1 IS brings together a lot of advanced features--including the ability to captures video at up to 640-by-480 pixels and 30 frames-per-second with 22-KHz 16-bit sound--for its $499 price tag.'
'the compact size, good looks and optically stabilized optics will please a fair number of telephoto buffs.'
'The considerable size and bulk of the PowerShot S1 make it a camera more suited for static, homebound situations.'
