Pros
Fast, excellent image quality, 12X USM Image Stabilized zoom, full manual controls.
Cons
No RAW mode, no hot shoe for external flash units, small LCD screen
Recommended it?
Yes
The Canon PowerShot S2 IS was last year's most popular monster zoom digicam because its fast image stabilized 12X USM zoom, best in class movie mode, compact SLR like body, and full manual controls dovetailed perfectly with the needs of a rapidly expanding prosumer market niche. Consumers who've...

Price, 4 AA batteries, flimsy lens cap, slow flash recycle, no RAW, control layout

I have used the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5, the Panasonic FZ7 and the Canon PowerShot S2 IS and wanted to try the new Canon PowerShot S3 IS. I bought the Canon S3 IS and after using it and comparing it to other stabilized-zoom cameras, I sold the S3 on eBay. Overall, the S3 IS is a good camera, but it...

Pros
Resolution, IQ, ergonomics, High ISO, HD video, lens fine tune, battery, quiet, UDMA
Cons
only 3.9fps, 9-point AF system, no integrated flash, "expensive"
Recommended it?
Yes
There is a time in life for "boys" to become "men" and photographers take the next level via gear. That's certainly oversimplified and a better camera still doesn't necessarily make for a better picture, but better technology enables creativity under difficult conditions once the needed skills are...

Cons
Needs expensive lenses to get best results
Recommended it?
Yes
In writing a review of this stunning camera, I don't want to offer you simply a repeat of all the technical details that you can read on a thousand websites including Canon's. I want to offer you my own thoughts as a neutral user of this product. If you're expecting complex charts and statistics,...
