Also on top is a large Mode dial that's well marked with its 10 main shooting options. This includes dedicated buttons for face detection and burst shooting along with the shutter release, zoom ring, and on/off slider.

The giant right-hand grip gives you something to really hold onto, and also houses the four AA-size batteries and SDHC card slot, plus it has room for shooting controls. Though far from pocketable, the S2950 is tightly packed despite its main attraction: the wide-angle 28-504mm-equivalent lens. This is best for scenes with little or no movement, but it works well in that case. Do that once more and it'll take your three shots and stitch them together in-camera into a single photo. Put the circle in the center of the target by moving the camera to the right and it'll take the next shot when it's centered. You press the shutter release with the camera aimed where you'd like to start your panorama shot and it puts a circle and a target on the screen. If you're more into wide-angle shooting, there's a Panorama option on the mode dial. If you like taking close-ups, the S2950 can focus as closely as 0.8 inch from a subject. There is some depth of field to play with in macro, but don't expect the kind of control you'd get from a digital SLR. Apertures are limited to two stops at each step of the zoom range courtesy of a neutral density (ND) filter: f3.1-6.4 wide and f5.6-11 telephoto. (There's a Custom mode, too, so you can define a frequently used group of settings.) For the most part, though, the real control is over shutter speed, with settings from 8 seconds to 1/2,000 second.

Those wanting more control over results can use the Aperture-priority, Shutter-priority, and Manual modes. If you want the camera to do most or all of the work, there are Program and SR Auto (automatic scene recognition) modes as well as a fairly standard variety of scene modes. Those who are either looking to work up to using a digital SLR or need to satisfy a number of different users with one camera will appreciate the large assortment of shooting options.

Because there is so little separating the S2950 from the other two models, it's understandable why those looking for a decent zoom lens, a viewfinder, and power from AA-size batteries would gravitate to it instead of its slightly pricier linemates.
