I bought this camera as a compact to carry with me when it is not practical to take my D-SLR with me, (Nikon D200). I wasted money buying a Samsung NV 7, and have spent a long time carefully evaluating different options.
I am finally satisfied with a compact digital camera. The S3 IS is a bit on the bulky side and only just fits in a jacket pocket. Images shot at over 400 ISO are very noisey and will not enlarge well.
However this camera is very well designed and a delight to use. It has virtually every feature you could want including a movie mode which I never use. The eye level view finder option is very useful, although not as clear as I would have liked, but very usable. The tilting LCD screen is brilliant, and the option to fold it away for protection is something all cameras could benefit from. Image quality is fine between ISO 80-200 and usable at 400. The image stabilization is excellent, the best I've tried and is a very real benefit. Overall this is an excellent well balanced camera with full manual control, ideal even for advanced photographers. I strongly recommend it.

This camera can take razor sharp superb images, proving your ISO setting is either 80 or 100. Use anything higher than that and you will get digital noise (grainy images). For its class, getting digital noise at ISO settings above 200 is expected, but getting significant digital noise at 200 is disappointing.
Most of the time, I take pictures during daylight and outside, so a lower ISO setting is fine.
If you use auto settings and the pre-programmed modes, then generally the camera tries to keep the ISO setting as low as possible. This may result in blurry images in low light as the shutter speed will slow down, but otherwise, you will see very good results with this camera.
The 12x zoom is great and the ability to add a tele converter lens to this camera is useful. The focus at the long end of the zoom is excellent - much better than other camera's in this class. The camera also takes fantastic close ups using the super macro option.
This camera is fast to react. The zoom is very fast, but once you get used to it, easy to control. The menus are good.
I also like the fact that it does have the manual settings, such as aperture priority and shutter priority.
I found I had to up the brightness on the electronic view finder as it's difficult to see. In bright light, it's still quite difficult, especially if you, like me, wear glasses - the answer is to take your glasses off - but that is quite inconvenient.
Overall, the digital noise is the main thing that disappoints me with this camera. Other cameras in this class don't have digital noise at ISO 200 (the Panasonic Lumix, for example). Some of them even have noise reduction software (Sony DSC H5).
The other slight disappointment is that there is no option to have RAW images on this camera.

This is a wonderful little digital camera that can be useful for everyone from beginner through professional. As a professional photographer, I always carry around a "point and shoot" as well as my professional equipment. This camera packs enough features and the resolution to really make it useful on outings where it's not practical to take my bulky professional cameras. The image stabilization works wonderfully and, in my opinion, is a MUST HAVE feature for any digital camera user. If you have a tendancy for "camera shake" when taking pictures, this is a feature you simply cannot do without. This camera is versitile and has a LOT of features packed into it's very sturdy design. If you are just beginning with digital photography, this camera is going to take you a LONG way. If you are already an experienced picture taker, you won't regret this little wonder. The price is unbelievable for the quality and versitility. I recommend this camera to ANYONE who wants to take great pictures!

I bought this camera after vacationing with friends who had it. I brought it to Europe and it took fantastic photos of the scenery and landscape. It handled the darker chruchs and museums well too. The zoom is wonderful (esp. compared to my last camera -Sony Cybershot). Image stabalizer is great! You MUST buy a memory card with more space than the one included. I bought the SanDisk 1GB, and so far stored 400 pics on it. This camera helps the average person take professional looking pics! Very happy with it!

I have had the camera for a couple of months. I had a digital camera with lower resolution that i really liked before buying this one. I only bring a basic competence in taking straightforward pictures and this camera works very well in that respect. I found the camera relatively easy to use on all of the features that i wanted and fairly easy to research some experimental stuff. Most of what i take includes still photos [inside and outside], some short video clips, and still photos with a timer at Christmas. i have tried some specialty features [night shots] and they are pretty easy to figure out. i am certainly not a camera pro but for a layperson it works very well and produces very good pictures. It also has enough features that i can learn some techniques from using the camera. The optical zoom is great.
i also found the shutter speed to be much better than my older camera.
The video card works well with my computer and the resulting photo prints are excellent.
If you want a small camera then this would not be your choice, but for ease of use, quality of photos and additional features then i would highly recommend this one.

I had a nikon coolpix 5200, and it broken. I bought this beginning of May as a replacement. I just love this camera. It's effortless to use. It just takes great pictures, in the different modes. I just came back from a vacation to Canada, and taking pictures was one of the highlights. I uploaded several pictures from Butchard Garden to share. The quality of the pictures is close to postcard quality, with vibrant colors. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who loves to take pictures, all you need to do is frame the picture and shoot.

What a fantastic camera! Even though this camera has a lot of bells and whistles to utilize all of it's capabilities (along with a comprehensive manual), only a few settings are needed for taking fantastic pictures. I mostly have been using just the AUTO and SPORTS settings, as I purchased this camera to take action shots of my sheltie running around with my Mom's sheltie. In addition, you could definitely benefit from purchasing a high speed SD card for this camera (I am using a 4GB 150x Transcend SD card). This Powershot will take full advantage of it, believe me. I also like the separate button for taking movies--another task that this camera excels at (640x480 @ 30fps). The articulating screen is also quite handy, especially for taking pics in crowds. I give the Powershot S3 IS two thumbs up!

I chose this camera because I wanted a good camera with a big optical zoom number. This camera has done everything I've asked of it. I've blown up pictures up to 8x11, and they turn out great! I'm very pleased with this purchase!

I have had the Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS camera now for a month and have found it to be well worth the money. I have been involved in photography for 30 years and have owned a few different cameras in that time. This camera is definetly one of the best I've ever owned. I have experimented with most of the features and find the Stablization feature very helpful, especially when shooting sports at maximum zoom, or extreme close-ups in Super Macro mode. The colors are excellent and the high resolution allows me to crop a photo and still retain clarity. It is easy to use if you are an experienced photographer, but I would recommend to the beginner, to purchase a good book on Digital Photography, since the users manual may not be informative enough, to fully utilize this camera's many features.

I got this camera because my Canon Powershot A75 was not keeping up with my family's activities. I chose this model specifically because of the sports mode and continuous shot features. It's so hard to get that perfect picture in a single shot, and the combination of sports mode and continuous shot has allowed us to get all the action during taekwondo. The zoom is great, too. During soccer I was able to take pictures of the kids on the opposite side of the field, and could actually tell who was who! It's a little more advance to use than the A75, but it was a good step-up camera for me.

This seems to be the perfect camera for those of us not interested in stepping up to an SLR. More options than a point and click, but not too complicated for someone that just wants good picture quality.

I waited for a long time to get this camera, and it was worth the wait. Don't try to read the manual before you use it, it will probably scare you. Load up the batteries and the memory chip (like all digitals, you'll need more memory than what they come with...I'm using a Kingston 2GB Elite with great results...I've tried other chips...256MB is usable, but you will want at least 512MB!), and go out and play with it. When you can't figure something out, look it up in the book (which is pretty well organized, just a little intimidating because of the number of features the camera has). I've taken about 800 photos and about 40 minutes of video so far. Video quality and sound quality are very good. Picture quality is very good, although if you use a lot of zoom ,especially in low light conditions, the autofocus is a little slow. The camera has features to deal with this, however, and I'm getting better and better pictures as I become more accustomed to it's personality. This camera can do so much, it WILL entice you to find out what it CAN do. The factory zoom is so much better than any other digitals I've used, and the convenience and quality of photos has made my Minolta 35mm a very lonely camera indeed.

I purchased The S3 with the Image stabilization being the primary reason. I own a Casio QV 3000 EX and a Fuji S 7000. The Casio with only 3.3 Megapixels gives better more natural images than the Fuji. The Canon S3 is the poorest of the bunch. The images on the LCD montor and the Viewfinder are dim and almost impossible to see in any kind of light. Canon told me to take out the batteries and the memory card , let it sit for 20 minutes and reinstall-did nothing to improve the condition. They want me to pay to ship it back for repair and I refuse to do that on a new camera. My rating for this camera is no stars.

Very good camera. Macro mode and movie mode are amazing.
I expected more from 12x optical zoom, but maybe I'm not so
experienced and never have had deal with this kind of cameras.
I thought that 12x should give 7x-8x magnification but in
reality I have something 5x - 6x. Battery life is real surprise
for so big camera and I won't be worry about recharging.
I recommend this camera for novice photographers like me
and I need to learn lots of features and manual.

This camera replaced the 620 Powershot which I dropped on a ski slope. The 620 has more megapixels but it is not really notieceable. Also, the S3 has a larger zoom. Otherwise, the cameras are much the same. I did not own the 620 long enough to really get to know it but the S3 is definitely growing on me. I have read some of the criticism concerning grainy images, and found them helpful: I had been wondering about this occureence, and will be sure to select a low ISO setting in certain situtions. The videos are great, and all in all I really recommend this camera, at least for hobby enthusiasts like me.

This is a great camera for budding enthusiasts, the quality of the pictures is very high with no real visable signs of any fringing which has been a real problem with other cameras I've owned, and the features are resonably straightforward if you are prepared to go through the manual. The zoom lense is impressive obviously the IS struggles at the top limit of the focal range so a tripod is needed. Movie shooting mode is excellent with several options available ranging from 15fps to 60fps and a widescreen tv viewing option. It also has the usual pre-set 'creative shooting' features to assist in certain condtions, and the aperture priortiy and shutter priority which give you a certain amount of manual control. Overall this is the first digi camera that I can say I will not be upgrading for the forseeable future as it does everything I want.

I will not bore with too many tech-specs here. I read a review that suggested that this camera was meant for PROs and almost decided against it for PRO sounds like "too complicated for me buddy". However, I decided to give it a try. The store I went to, did not Canon S3 IS in stock, but they had S2 IS. I had already seen a lot of Kodak and Sony in action and was almost decided upon buying Kodak Z612, when the performance and features of S2 IS took my breath away. I am not a PRO, yes, but I know how to follow instructions. I read product manual carefully and VOILA! I had found what I was looking for. It took me a while to understand, but looking at the output shots any trouble taken to first understand this product was worth it.
I compared specs of S2 IS and S3 IS, and decided that S2 IS was damn good, but S3 IS would be a real treat. And, I will not be disappointed. I have had chance to do some benchmark testing of Sony, Kodak, Olympus and Nikon in same class since. S3 IS is a clear winner...
So whether you are a PRO covering a fashion show or an average daddy taking memory-shots of your kids over weekend, you will love this camera. I learnt a great deal about photography in past two months I hunted for a good camera - learnt what defined a good and clear shot...and this is the camera that can deliver it.

I wasn't sure if I should get this or the Olympus, but I made a good choice. The charged batteries always last longer than we expect, the camera is purse sized, although a bit heavy. It has the reach I want in a lens for a small digital - the only problem is that, sometimes, the autofocus focuses on the wrong things.

Well I bought this camera yesterday to replace my olympus sp-500 because i was impressed with some shots my friend took with hers. took it to a dance recital, it killed my rechargeables after about 5 pics. had to run to store and picked up 2 xtra packs of batteries. put first 4 batteries in and didnt even have enough charge to shoot a picture. put second set of batteries in and it shot maybe 3 pics. well needless to say, i would like a camera that if i ran out of rechargeables, i could run out and use regulars in a pinch. not sure if this particular camera was a defected model or not. i exchanged it for an olympus sp-550.

I really am not a camera expert-That's why I love this camera!! Very easy settings to follow. Best of all instant shots. My old camera would cause me to miss great shots due to a delay. This camera takes the picture when you push the button and needs no recovery time before the next shot. If you're shooting the kids or pets in action its a great camera. I know other cameras have higher MP's but you won't miss it with this camera. It shoots quality ever time. Also really like the hold grip and the light weight. Great for the price!
