It is a bit hard to get used to at first and there are definately focus issues, which is more the user than the camera itself. The quality of picture is very good for a 5 megapix, and the long zoom is very handy. This camera has been very popular on this forum. You will be able to go back and get a lot of information. There are numerous support sites too. From fully auto to manual you will learn a lot about photography from this camera. Canon S2IS with DC58e Various Hoya Filters

Apr 03, 2007 11:20 | #8 I've had my S2 for almost 2 years now and I love it. The pictures come out great and it has a ton of options for a P&S camera. It gets great pictures just snapping in auto mode, and then allows you to experiment if you want to work in manual modes. I've learned a lot from it and love it. ~Jason

I have many nice 8X10 photos on my wall that were made with this camera. If you use it for what it was intended, and don't pretend it's an SLR, you will get great results from it. Gary

This is the TC-DC58B right? Silas Silas, yes it's the TC-DC58B, and I really like the lens a lot. It's light and and can be handheld in many situations. Light fall off at edges is very little. And it will reach out and touch someone too! Though I'm not a great wildlife photograoher, below is a sample of a bird that I could not have reached without the teleconverter. Camera was hand held.

. It can be used as a simple point and shoot if you want. But it also has a full array of manual controls that will allow you to experiment with more advanced techniques. The long zoom, image stabilizer, and the vari-angled screen are some of my favorite aspects of it. Unfortunately, I haven't touched it in about 1/2 year because of my newer equipment. But there have been times when I wished I had it. Because of the long zoom and because some places have a fear of slr cameras.
