Guide Review - Canon PowerShot S30 Digital Camera

This camera's pre-programmed settings make it easy to produce high quality images. If you want more to get more creative than you can with a point and shoot camera, the S30 allows you to manually control the camera’s settings. This allows you to let your personal style shine through in your photography.

The RAW file format takes your artistic control a step further by giving you incomparable editing control over your photographs.
