I'm looking at the reviews for this camera, and the images look a bit fuzzy and prismatic to me. It's as if it's shooting through too much lens. The first S1 IS had this problem too, poor image quality.

Hey tami, do me a favour and post some samples over at http://www.canontalk.net/ ? I need to keep building our set of samples for others interested in Canon cameras to look over. 🙂

we're not opening this one till we get the new one... actually, we haven't decided. but the other problem we face is that we're lacking in SD cards, so we're waiting for those to come as well.

SampSon: we have the d70 too. just got it last week in fact. 😱

now we must impose a punishment upon ourselves: no more leisure spending for 2 years!

Don't let the article fool you. They put a bit of a positive spin on it.

It doesn't really "solve" the image problem. If that probe was accessible they would definitely replace the optics on it. But being that it's millions of miles away, they can't do that, so they did the only thing that they could, which is work with what they've got.

When Hubble had image problems, they did the same thing for a while. They processed the images to get the most data they could out of them. But NASA knew that doing that was no substitute for good optics, so they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to fix the optics problem. They were able to fix it right.

Try it yourself- Take a picture of something with the camera in focus, and then take another picture of the same thing with the camera out of focus, and run it through a deconvolution filter. Look at the outputs. The blurry picture will surely look a little better than it did before, but it won't look anything like the picture that was focused correctly to begin with.

When you can't fix it right, you're forced to do the next best thing.

Why not just get a real dslr?

Because it's an awesome point and shoot with Image Stabilization and great image quality, and it's super cheap comparatively.

That being said... I have a DSLR. 🙂
