The S3 IS is worth the cost!

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Canon S3 IS Digital Camera is a terrific camera for those who want to get more serious about their photo hobby. The zoom is incredible!
Review: When I dropped my lovely (and inexpensive) Kodak digital camera on the elegant marble floor at a 5 star restaurant in October, I was mortified. Ok, so maybe not mortified. But, I was a little peeved because I knew upon picking the crushed pieces off...

Canon Powershot S3 IS developed flaw

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2007
Review: I've owned the camera for about a year. About 4 months ago I started noticing a "what looks like a fiber or scratch" in the same location at the bottom of most of my pictures. It's progressively getting worst. When I called the Canon store in Miami,...

Design is poor and Canon knows better

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: There are plenty of better options on the market.
Review: The ergonomic design is poor. You can not hold the camera without inadvertently hitting a button, especially the menu button and set switch. There is no continuous battery level display. The lens cap is useless - it will not stay in place.

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2007
Review: Have used camera over 6 months, easy to use, nice pictures, have not used video mode (no opinion on that function).

Best Digital Camera in class

Date of Review:  Apr 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Really the best buy for the top end of digital cameras- all the features needed, quality and performance for current street price- nice.
Review: You've reached the summit on digital cameras with this product. I've used Olympus pretty steadily since digital cameras first hit the market. 2.2 MP, 3. MP and 4.40 MP.
Each of those cameras had excellent ease of use and were pretty durable and...

Best Buy store = Worst Buy

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2006
Review: Our school Dist bought a Cannon cause of its repetation. This camera shot grainy, pictures right out of the box on the auto settngs. Moved the ISO setting to 80 and still very bad images.
Worst part of the issue is dealing with "Best Buy" and...

Perfect

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2006
Review: As a photographer in the making, I absolutely love my Powershot S3. I got it when it first came out and loved it. It has so many great features like the digital enhancement that can be done on the camera. The focus is pretty good. Sometimes it takes...

Best XMAS GIFT

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would reccommend this to anyone that has had a problem adjusting to digital cameras because of the general feel when you shoot pictures with this camera.
Review: After weeks and weeks of reading product reviews on different websites, I settled on this model based on: The fact that the flash was easy to turn off and that I could take it easily off of auto and do my own focusing. This may sound like a low list...

All The Bells and Whistles, But Flawed?

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Potentially a very good model, and nice upgrade from the S2, however possible quality control issues cause a need for caution when buying. Test thoroughly once purchased.
Review: The Canon S3IS is the third generation in the S-series for Canon. A couple of years ago they introduced the S1IS which while popular, only offered a 3 megapixel resolution enough for good 4x6 prints and a bit above, but not large prints. This was...

The Best Camera Short of a dSLR

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you want an excellent camera but aren't quite ready for the dive into dSLR land with expensive lenses, this is the camera for you.
Review: It's kind of hard to impress me with most gadgets and gizmos - I end up always finding some little detail that gets to me. However, the Powershot S3 IS is, without a doubt, the finest point-and-shoot camera I have ever used.

What's in the...
