Does anybody find the noise in the S2 worse than with the S1? I have not done extensive comparisons, but sometimes I get this feeling like the S2 is noisier. Especially taking video's in low light. Can't have it all I guess...

Looking for feedback from S2 IS owners...what do you say? Thinking of upgrading my S1 to the S2... :) Never mind, I picked up an S2 IS so I will go to it :) ...in fact, I wonder if I should do some comparing. One thing is for sure, optics and noise levels aside, the new S2 IS zooms...

This camera is for sale and very reasonabley priced vs the Panasonics and retains the full video mode of the S1 IS, plus stereo movie recording, a wind noise reduction feature and low light AF assist :) http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/ca...hot_s2-review/ I'm thinking of selling my S1 and...
