I bought this camera a little over a month ago. It has performed pretty much as I expected and my research showed it should. The battery life is good (I use rechargeable NiMh) even when using the flash. I have shot probably close to a thousand pictures. I am impressed that the IS works so well in long shots indoors. I have taken photos of my kids at various indoor activities where flash is impractical. I can zoom all the way and still get a hand held shot. Unfortunately, anything taken indoors is pretty grainy. I am still experimenting with various settings and scene modes to try and take some of the graininess out. When using the flash the pictures are great! In well lit situations that camera takes wonderful pictures, as well. Color is good and the frames are sharp.

I paid a little under $300 and it is definitely worth that! If you are looking for a long zoom, image stabilized camera I would recommend you take a good close at this one. I am a very happy camper!

Ok, first of all I have no photography training, I've only taken pictures as a hobby, and for the last several years I've used my Fujifilm 3800, which was my starter digital. It got frustrating for me because I would see pictures other people would take and I couldn't understand why I couldn't take the same type of pictures. I looked and every photographer who's pictures I enjoyed (on Flickr, Blogspot, etc) were using Canon's. I've always thought that Canon's (for single image photography) were out of my league as a hobby photographer, but I wanted to take pictures of plants, trees, various things around me which I believe is interesting. So I did my research comparison shopped and picked this Camera.

It is amazing.

This camera has so many bells and whistles, but each one is there for a specific reason. One of the features I use a lot is the SCN function. It tells the camera the type of environment you'll be shooting in, beach, snow, indoors, foliage, etc etc etc.

The video this camera does is almost as good as the video on my actual Canon video recorder, the picture is a nice size with minimal compression so if you edit it with Windows Movie Maker you don't have the annoying (and very amature-ish) compression boxes.

Another nice feature is the color change, I love taking photos outdoors in black and white, with my old camera I had to use a software program to change the image to B&W, with this camera you can do it right then and there, and still have the original color image as well.

The Image Stabilizer works very well, and I shake like a leaf in a strong wind storm. I found that when using the zoom it's best to use 2 hands (which I never did before, like I said amature no photography training) and the shots come out great without having to use the flash.

I'm sure as I take more pictures, and do more research and study to improve my photography I'll be changing the ISO & shutter speed to meet my needs, otherwise this is exceeding my expectations and making me look like I am a better photographer than I really am.

This is an amazing point and shoot camera...good for amateurs as well as professional photgraphers. The videos are amzing too ...great clear sound recording and no blurriness. With this camera there is no need for you to buy a video cam. It works better than Sony Video cam. I bought it when it just arrived in market for $400, and it was every penny worth its this price as well...its a lot cheaper now! Someone stole mine in the JCPenney store last weekend and I am planning to buy another one of the same model now! I miss my lovely camera so much...:(

Bought this camera before going on an international trip, based on reviews here and elsewhere. I am very pleased with the pictures i took with this camera. The movie function is extremely good with the ability to use the optical zoom when shooting short movies.

The biggest drawback with this camera is the lens cover - which keeps falling off, when carrying the camera using the neck strap around your neck. Especially when you are walking around various sights in a park for example. The lens could very easily get scratched because of this. I am very surprised that Canon overlooked this. If you are thinking of S3 be aware of this, verify if this is resolved in S5 if you decide to upgrade.

I am so glad I went with the S3 over the S5. I worried about the megapixel difference but I am so happy to say - there is no lack! Save your money and buy the S3 - it's great!!!!

Having decided to replace my Pentax SLR with a digital camera I read the revues and, having decided to buy this camera, I was not dissapointed with my choice. The only disapointment is in the software supplied to download the images. I have a much simpler Fuji finepix camera but the download software is far superior. Using the Canon software I can only look at a picture as a small thumbnail. I can choose to download one image at a time or all images to a single file. This option would then require me to rename and relocate each picture (they are downloaded with a numeric identification), I would have to sort pictures into relevant files containing similar pictures i.e. holiday, landscape, children etc (very time consuming and boring!) Should I choose to download one image at a time the process is very long winded and ends up with the downloaded picture being displayed on the browser which then has to be turned off and the whole process began again for the next photo. The Fuji system is very simple and quick. Point to a picture, click on image and it appears almost full screen for me to decide if it is good enough to keep, click on "save as" and the standard windows dialaogue box appears, enter details of folder and file name, job done! I have discovered that I can use the Fuji software with the Canon so I will ignore the Canon software and the problem is solved. This may seem a minor point but the continual swapping of file locations, changing names, deleting unwanted files etc. tends to fragment a hard drive and a fragmented drive works much slower!

Apart from this technical computer related gripe my results with the camera so far have been excellent and I am very happy with my choice.

I have been taking film pictures with a professional Canon SLR for over a decade, and have been holding out on purchasing a DSLR until they come out with a sub-$2,000 full-frame body. A few years ago, I bought a Canon digital Elph (S330) just for some everyday digital point-n-shooting. While the Elph has served me well, I find the lack of manual settings too limited for my taste. If I were to upgrade to a DSLR, I would get either the Canon 1Ds or the 5D (both of which carry full-frame sensors, a requirement for me), but I'm just not prepared to spend $2,500 for the 5D or 3x that for the 1Ds yet.

With the recent addition of my family (a new baby), I started to look into buying a replacement for the Elph so I can take more baby photos. The film SLR takes great pictures, but traveling with 3 lbs+ of photo equipment is just not practical. I needed something compact (not necessarily pocket sized), but gives me the options to take pictures on manual settings like an SLR. I did quite a bit of research, and determined the Canon S3 IS would be the best camera for my purpose. I've used it for the past month, and it's been great! It's shaped like an SLR, only smaller. It has most, if not all, of the manual settings of a full-size DSLR, minus the interchangeable lenses and an optical viewfinder. Obviously, with an EVF camera like the S3 IS you gain live preview capability, movie mode, and the absence of sensor dust issue. The live histogram is also a huge advantage over competitor models. With a long-zoom and image stabilization, the S3 IS is priced at a fraction of a DSLR. While nobody should expect the same picture quality out of the S3 IS as a DSLR, especially at high ISO, this is truly a great camera for photo enthusiasts who are just not ready to buy a DSLR, or DSLR owners looking for a more compact digicam for traveling or everyday work.

I bought the S3 a long time ago. One of the most irritating and lousy aspect of this camera is the ISO button on the back of the camera. It is so easy to accidentally push it that you'll find your pictures are grainy because the images were taken at ISO 400 or higher instead of ISO 80 or ISO 100. Secondly, the image size button is also located in the same area and guess what? It too can be accidentally pushed changing your initial settings to a lower quality/size image. If I'd known that this would continue to occur even after owning the camera for a long time and consciously checking it often, I would have returned it. It's the worst thing that can happen when you're trying to get the largest, highest quality image and you download it to your computer and find out the quality was reduced. Absolutely disgusting.

I got this camera today and have given it all the tests I could think of. Played with all the different modes. Took it outside for some nature shots, etc. Overall it's a great camera, and the new lower prices makes it even a better deal. However, when shooting videos there is a very noticeable high pitched whine. I've tried adjusting all audio and video settings, turning off the IS, etc. There's nothing I can do to get rid of this annoying sound that occurs during all video recording. A quick web search turned up that this is a common problem with this camera and seems to affect most, if not all, S3s to some degree or another. Mine happens to be particularly bad. The user forums over at dpreview dot com talk about this problem. I've written Canon and am awaiting a reply. If they cannot fix this, my S3 is going back to the store. One of my reasons for choosing this camera was the great video features - however, this audio problem is rendering all videos shot on this camera unwatchable. Had this not been a problem, this camera would have gotten 4-4.5 stars. However, since this problem is so annoying and seems to be very common on S3s, I'm having to rate this just 2 stars.

This product arrived in great shape and is working as described. Was in New condition.

Camera is as good as it is reviewed, maybe even better for the price. The optic zoom is very smooth and quiet, the photo quality rivals higher Mega Pixel cameras. Most importantly for me, was the true clicking operation of the dial selector for features on top of the camera. It truly clicks and holds on each selection, not like many smaller handhelds that glide through the features and any movement changes your selection.

This is the best price, no tax, and supersaver shipping that I have seen

for this camera and I've been looking for a digital camera for 7 mos.

It really has every function you would want as a seasoned photographer and the basics for a beginner. It's lightweight and the functions are easy to maneuver after you become familiar with the pictures. I would recommend this camera to anyone who needs a good digital camera. I believe it is the best digcam for the money before you get into the very expensive, professional type cameras which usually start at $500 more.

The only complaint I have is that I find the instruction manual to be extremely unhelpful in finding certain functions on the camera. It will tell you on what page to get the information you're looking for, but then doesn't tell you how to access that particular function. If you play with the camera long enough, you'll figure it out yourself, but then who needs directions.

If you are interested in taking great pictures, and sometimes you want near-DSLR capabilities, this is the camera for you. Small enough to not be too much of a burden (as with an SLR), but has many high end capabilities. The 12X zoom is awesome. No other point-and-shoot camera can touch it. The image stabilization makes a world of difference. Fewer lost pictures due to blurriness.

I use it mostly as a point-and-shoot, where it truly excels, but at times I like to play with shutter priority and aperture priority, especially for indoor and low-light shots. I have not done much yet with the manual mode, but it's nice to know it's there for me.

My next step is to get the lens adapter (about $10) so I can use filters. Being an amateur photographer is an evolutionary process, and I am just starting to move through to a new phase in understanding. This camera will take me a long way before I would want a DSLR.

The most surprising feature is the video quality. It's as good as my Sony DV handycam, and it's much more convenient to copy to my computer for editing. Make sure you get a couple 4GB cards if you shoot a lot of video.

I thought I would never get my 3 years old Nikon for any other camera, but it broke on an accident and I had to do it. I did some research with friends and most of them recommended Canon PowerShot. It is a very good camera for people like me who like to take nice shots, but does not want to feel like a pro. It has lots of features I have not even tested yet, and I think it will take me a year to get all of it. This camera's operation is not intuitive, though. I had to read the manual to learn some basic things, like recording video and setting up image size and resolution. But after you learn those tricks, everything comes up easy.

Pictures in low light are very nice. I went to some underground caves, and the pictures I got out of it, even without a tripod, were good. If I had a tripod, and learned all of the functions it has, I bet they would have been Excellent.

In some situations, colors are not as bright as the ones I had from the Nikon, but most of the time I get better pictures from this Canon than the ones I got from my old Nikon (it is a 3 years difference in technology after all).

Overall, I feel satisfied with the purchase.

I've had my camera for about 2 months now. A few points I must praise are the compact body, and super fast shutter speed (I've never owned a Digi Cam with such a quick shutter speed... very nice!) But I'm having some issues with the camera that I'm hoping to "fix" thru experimentation. These are to include;

Trouble with focusing in low light conditions; shadowing on the super macro function; washed out background color (this applies only to my outdoor shots; indoor shots are fine, but my skies in all my outdoor pics are washed out to the point of being white, while the foreground and land in the same picture are almost over-saturated in color).

Also, another downside is that you have to manually raise the flash when you need it. I've not found any instructions on a way to make it pop up automatically. This can be very frustrating when you don't think you need the flash, get your shot lined up, and then try to take the picture, only to get a flashing icon telling you to "raise the flash".

I've pretty much only used Nikon in the past, and will most likely sell this camera and go back to the Nikon. However, the sharpness and vibrancy of the pictures used with this camera are quite good. I'm no pro, and I know that the user, not the camera, will dictate how good a final shot comes out, but I've not had these issues with my Nikon's, so I am not sure who is to blame for these issues. Canon is still a great company, and I think the majority of consumers will appreciate and enjoy the S3.

The first week that I had this camera I took it on a hiking trip to the Killdeer Mountains in Western North Dakota. It took amazing pictures. I loved how quickly I could turn it on and be ready to shoot. I was able to take some great wildlife photos because I didn't have wait for the camera to ready itself. Shooting in seconds is a must for wildlife shots. It is a great camera. (Side Note: Don't waste your money on the Opteka 3.2X Telephoto lens for this camera, the lens is pure junk. I am currently trying to find a telephoto multiplier lens that does what it says it does. So if you need more than 12X be sure to shop around. I learned my lesson; READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU BUY!)

This camera is perfect for the 'In-between' user--the one who wants more capability than the small handheld pocket ones, but doesn't want to pay the $600-$1,200 price for the full up large digitials. The optical zoom is perfect--don't let any sales person sell you on a digital zoom--it is NOT the same, nor even close. Easy to use, tremendous pictures.

Everything that can be said about this camera has been covered by the other reviews (Tons of them). But I have to add, I was truly nervous about buying the Canon S3 after reading some of the negative reviews and started wandering if I had made a mistake. I have had the camera for almost a month now and have used it extensively and HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED ANY OF THE PROBLEMS MENTIONED BY OTHERS. I emmediately checked for all the issues experienced by others and came up with nothing of concern. I did read the instructions thouroughly and maybe that made the difference. My two centavos.

I am very happy with the Power Shot S3.. It is a great upgrade from my PS S1.. It is nice to have a new version of the camera you just had, alot of the functions are the same , so you feel right at home with this camera. My only wish... that the flash automaticly poped up.. you have to pull it up to use it. on the S1 it just poped up.. there is a little flashing message that tell you to use the flash. But I do alot of shooting from the hip, when taking pictures of my kids. So I don't always know that the flash was needed.

My last digital camera was a Canon S20. I have small children and needed a digital camera that took pictures as soon as you pressed the button. This camera was exactly what I was looking for. Once you press the button the picture is taken. There is no delay as there is on many digital cameras.

At first I was going to purchase an SLR but that was too much camera for my needs. This is an SLR with out the lens changes.

I originally purchased a Olympus SP-500 UZ Ultra Zoom and when you zoomed it was almost impossible to keep the camera focused without a tripod. I returned it the next day. The S3's image stabilization feature is awesome. Even when in digital zoom mode you get clear, focused pictures.

Since I own a Canon i900D printer I can print pictures directly from the camera to the printer. There was absolutely no set up at all. Totally integrated. This is a great feature when you need a quick print on the go.

The Zoom Browser software is great but if you are familiar with the Canon Digital Camera products then you know that already. It is improved and for throw-in software it rivals some of the other off the shelf packages.

The only negatives I would mention is over course the lens cover. Damn thing never stays on. Also the manual focus is a bit user unfriendly.

Overall a great camera.

I bought this camera, about 2 weeks ago.after reading all the reviews (All the reviews are 4 and 5 stars). This is the best camera That I have bought, wright out of the box it took great pictures, the reviews were on the money. I still have a lot to learn, as this camera can do so much, and thanks to Amazon for a great price and fast shipping. I all so bought the lens adapter and the tel-converter lens. Will send pictures with the next review. If your shopping for a new camera, GET THIS ONE!! you will not be sorry.

Just received my Canon PS Pro S3 IS digital camera and am more than impressed with it's features and picture quality.

I previously owned an Olympus digital camera (a dinosaur at 4 y/o) then thought I was upgrading by buying a Canon A630 model (mistake!) I returned that one because of the constant image blur--My point is that the (IS) Image Stabilization capability alone is worth the extra money. I have no complaints about the picture quality now, and the Macro close-up mode is pretty cool to play with for those interested in amateur photography.

I gave it 4 stars, mainly because the lens cap doesn't fit as securely as my previous camera and the button placement on the A series Canon was a bit easier to learn.

Its a nice camera with possibly all d features which I might want to have...the only downside is that its a bit 2 complicated for amateurs like me..this is my first digicam but I'm pretty much satisified with its performance though i havent been able to explore it fully...the zoom is just amazing and gives you a feel of an SLR...for those who dont know abt this camera, they'd probably mistake it for a low end SLR..
On the whole, its a good buy and value for money..

I took my time upgrading from my last digital camera and researched several before buying this one. It is not for a first time user, or someone not interested in a feature rich camera. For example it has a flash but the flash is manual, and it is a bit bulkier than a most. But if you are thinking some day you want to upgrade to a true digital SLR, this is a great and cost effective first step or alternative. The ability to easily try out many cool features and add additional lens capability is great. What I love most is the fabulous zoom capability, and the fact that this camera also shoots movies with sound and does a great job at that too. It will take standard AA batteries or rechargable and for all it's power, the batteries seem to last a good long time. Downloading images to my laptop is effortless, something I struggled with on my first digital Fuji camera. For under $350 this camera is worth the investment.
