A few more questions:

It takes 4 AA batteries, right? I have two rechargables and a 15-minute recharger. Those will work, won't they? That'll save a little money, lol.

Should I invest in a card reader? Any other accessories I should get?

Yes, the S2 IS is better - it's more professional IMO.
You will need a 4 pack of rechargables. I would never mix brands of batteries - use 4 of the same brand at once. I've been told it's not good for your camera to use different batteries at the same time.

I have a 256MB card and it works fine for me (and everyone here knows how picture crazy I am.) I think it was around $30.

There really is no use for a card reader unless something happens with the USB option on your camera. I highly suggest purchasing a nice camera case - you can store memory cards, an extra set of batteries, or whatever you want. I almost always keep and extra se of batteries with me.

The camera comes with a neckstrap & a lens cap so you won't need to purchase those.


Hope this has helped a bit.
