Canon S1 IS Digital Camera

The Canon S1 IS Digital Camera provides a solution to a problem that has been plaguing the digital pictures of sports fans and soccer moms/dads all over the country--image stabilization.

The best solution to correct image jitters is for the camera to sense your shakes and jiggles and compensate for them internally. This type of "image stabilization" works very well, but involves some fairly complex technology, and can therefore be rather expensive. Canon has been a leader in image stabilization technology in their professional lens line for years now. They've incorporated this professional technology into their consumer line with the PowerShot S1 IS. This camera has the distinction of being the most affordable digital camera ever to offer professional grade image stabilization. ($499; www.usa.canon.com )
