Canon PowerShot S1Steves Digicams have posted a First Look at the Canon Powershot S1 IS digital camera, which offers 10x image stablised zoom, 3 megapixels and high-quality 640 x 480 video at 30 frames/second with sound.

“The S1 employs a high-speed and variable speed Canon Ultrasonic Motor (USM) to operate the zoom lens mechanism, a feature it shares with the new, top-of-the-line PowerShot Pro1 digital camera. The silence of the USM is particularly beneficial in movie mode to preserve and enhance the quality of the audio recording.”
