Pros
good picture quality, easy to use, several pre-adjusted scene modes, small size.
Cons
Limited options to manually tune exposure, small buttons for big fingers.

Yes
We bought a Nikon S3 in May 2006 with a 512 Mb Ultra II SanDisk SD card installed. In the past we've had Olympus 4MP and Casio 5MP Exilim digital point and shoots.
My wife and I used the S3 quite a bit over the past 6 months (taking pictures of our kids, neighbors, family, etc). Our...

None. It is about as good as it can be for its size category.

This review will cover what the typical consumer will need to know about the Nikon S3. Lists of features and statistics are available on technical testing sites.
The S3 is a very small camera, much smaller in your hand than it appears on paper. My initial impression was that it was too...

Pros
user-friendly interface, small and light, decent-quality images and movies
Cons
slow to fire, images "rough around the edges"
Recommended it?
Yes
A hoary techie joke says that there 10 kinds of people out there: those who understand binary and those who don't (rimshot). In this age of digital photography, some say that there are 10 kinds of photographers as well: those who want a point-and-shoot camera to just point and shoot, and those who...

Cons
Very slow to turn on.
Recommended it?
Yes
The shutter lag of this camera is very good for its class if the camera is already in focus. The lag time nearly doubles (~1sec in good lighting) when focus is required. Focus time seems to lengthen in dim or poor lighting conditions.
With a zoom of only 3x, I wasn’t expecting to get to...
