digital camera that debuted in2005 . It is the second of Canon's cameras in thesuperzoom category, with an integrated 12xzoom lens andimage stabilization technology (IS). It is succeeded by theCanon PowerShot S3 IS which has similar features but an improved 6 Megapixel CCD resolution and a larger LCD.The S2 IS is also believed to be susceptible to a sensor failure and/or jammed iris shutter, resulting in an inability to take photographs. Canon currently denies the existence of this problem, but numerous reports available on the internet suggest otherwise.
