I have the S2 and am pretty happy with it. As I get more into photography it is not up to par on what I would want, but what I want is unaffordable to me. I messed around with an S5 the other day, and I LOVED it. It was so much better than my S2, with a lot more settings. www.dpreview.com is a great site so I would check it out on there. Good luck!
