    Canon PowerShot S1 IS

    I'm stuck between getting a used Canon PowerShot A70 or a new Canon PowerShot S1 IS.

    The A70 is $100 cheaper..

    The only difference I see between them is that the S1 IS does not have a AF-assist lamp.

    Would you let this set you back from buying the S1 IS over the A70?

    I *think* the S1 IS also has 10x optical zoom.. well worth the $100! I'd go for the S1 IS in a heartbeat!

    Oh definitely go for the S1 IS. The optical zoom well makes up for the price difference, and that particular line of cameras (the ISs) are a "step up" from the powershots

    The S1 is a newers and more improved Canon. I have the S2 and the A80.

    Go for the S1 without even thinking about it. I have the S2 and am blown away by its capabilities.
