Canon Power Shot S2 IS

It is my first digital camera and I've been very happy with it although it has so many features it's taken me a while to learn them. I still am learning about it. A few things that I have enjoyed is some sports pictures. I took some of a fast pitch softball game and the photos turned our really great, stopping the action in some to where I go the ball stopped in mid-air. Another feature is the stitching. I took 3 photos, of the houses across the street where I live. They sit at a curve in the road & when I stitched them together it was like one shot showing the curve and all. I wish that the owners manual was simpler to understand.
