-Camera question (Canon powershot S2 IS)

[.sarah]

I have that camera and I love it! I have a problem taking good action shots with it, though, and it kind of bothers me since me dogs are so fast! Other than that, I love it, and I would reccomend it to anyone.

What kind of memory card do you have? The S2 takes a different type of card than most other cameras. It's much smaller.

I know Kay has the same camera

Are Canon's bad at action shots? Because that is what I've heard.. I really want a Canon but with all the action shots I take, I definitely won't get one.

My mom has a Canon that is awesome at action shots, but she's also a professional photographer so I guess that would help lol.

Oh.. what kind of Canon? (Probably out of my price range, lol)

I'm not sure, I'll have to check. If that's the case though, I'll probably have to get a new one but that's fine.

I've seen action pictures that other people have taken with the S2 and they were really clear. Do you think the S2 is worth the amount it costs? or would I be better off getting a different camera? I've only had 2 digitals (both Kodaks) in my life so I don't know a whole lot about different brands, I just chose canon because people are constantly saying how good they are compared to other brands...

I would definetly get it. It might just be me who can't figure out action shots, or something may be wrong with my camera. Other than that, I love it.

Jess, she has a Canon EOS 20D. Awesooome camera! She has a lot of different lenses and stuff for it too, and she's invested thousands in it. I'm not sure how much the actual camera body costs, but I don't think it's cheap.

The point-and-shoot Canons aren't good at action shots, but the digital SLR's are!

Anyway I would definitely say GO! with the Canon! You can't lose honestly.

I have been waiting to see some nice clear action shots from the Canon, i would be interested to see some if anyone has some.

Another camera that you might be interested in checking out and does realy well with sporting/ action shots is the Panansonic Lumix DMC - FZ5, 12 x optical, 4 x digital zoom, image stabiliser, burst mode etc. You would be looking at about $500 canandian $$s. You can get a couple of lenses that will fit it and filters aswell.

Look at my newest pic thread with Ki.


It's all about knowing how to use the camera, as explained in my thread.

Those action shots are blurry. I get better ones with my 3.2MP FinePix and I have no control over anything except exposure compsensation and white balance.
