Canon Powershot S1 IS
Anyone have any experience with it?
Can you recommend something else that you like better?
I'm thinking of buying a new camera and it will be a good one this time (I really hope)

tab is a big canon fan, so hopefully he may have something to add.
Plus: Looks like it has a very nice 10x optical zoom, that can come in handy.
Also cant go too wrong with a canon.
Drawbacks: looks quite big, wouldnt exactly fit in a small carry case.

Looks good...

While you're at the dpreview.com site, check out the Canon forum to see what S1 owners have to say.

Anyone have a ballpark figure (costwise) for the EOS-10DS? The EOS-1DS is "slightly"
outside my budget scope

couldnt find anything on a canon EOS-10DS, but found pricing on the EOS-10D ranging from US$1157, is the 10Ds an upcoming release?
