For not much more money than a regular old point-and-shoot, we got this camera, which as far as I can tell is just a few notches down from a DSLR. It has excellent optical zoom, decent battery life, takes very nice quality photos, and very surprisingly, camcorder-quality video! some pretty cool stuff. Worth every dollar.

Excellent value balancing price with capabilities. 12x optical zoom is an excellent feature and the higher resolution, newer models are not worth the extra cost.

I owned and returned the much cheaper and sopposedly poorly quality Kodak z612. But I now own an s3 IS and can't tell the difference between this and the Kodak. In fact the Canon seems to be worse in low light and even grainier at iso above 100. The outdoor, high natural light pictures tent to have slightly more true colors than the Kodak, but that is all. Most of my pictures turn out blurred or grainy, and I have played around with the manual settings, but still can't get very good quality pictures. I did a lot of research before buying this Camera, and was leaning towards getting an sony H2, but went with the Canon because of reputation and because I got a really good deal on it. But now I'm considerig selling the Canon and going with the Sony.

Got this camera last week, thanks amazon for the fast delivery in super saver shipping :). I have to say that taking beautiful pictures is very easy now, more than ever. Took about 4 dozen shots in about 2 minutes with the sports mode and each picture is amazing. I am more than happy with this camera. Also the picture quality is very impressive. Would definitely recommend this to any body.

I've had my canon for over a month now and I'm basically in love.
It takes GORGEOUS pictures.
I've always loved going downtown and taking photographs, now with this camera I can actually get gorgeous pictures.
My best friends have the same camera, they love theirs too!
BUY IT. It's amazing.

I need another camera with more powerful zoom but not ready to spend for a dslr. I did a lot of research between Panasonic DMC-FZ8k, Sony DSC-H5 and Kodak P712 to finally opted for a Canon S3is. Amazon service is excellent.
All the pictures taken with the camera, so far, turn out amazingly excellent. It makes me a better photographer. I am very happy with it and don't regret my decision. The price is even cheaper now. I also added a lens adapter and filter. You need an adapter in order to use a filter. Please note that Canon came out with a new upgrade, the S5is, with more features but costing around $500. My next purchase will be a DSLR.

Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom
After shopping for several months for my next camera, I came across the S3IS. Several cameras in this class had great reviews, but the vga quality video really sold me. It handles low light conditions better than my 4 year old Canon, although indoor pics tend to be a bit grainy. But it really shines outdoors. My outdoor pics rival any professional camera. The 12x zoom is also amazing. A good friend told me he had ordered this camera the same day I ordered mine. Two other acquaintances ended up with the same camera within weeks. It's a truly versatile camera that has become quite popular. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Admittedly, I got this camera to replace my first digital camera, a Kodak DC290. The Kodak was good for its time, but that time was long ago. The S3 is unbelievable - all the features you'd want, and stunning performance. Awesome quality with the optic-level zoom, and truly impressive digital zoom quality. Just to experiment, yesterday I was at the White Sox game on third base line, about 100 feet behind the third basemean. I used the digital zoom to take shots of Paul Konerko at first base, and they literally looked like I was only about 100 feet from HIM. Super fast between shots time - great camera.

I've had the S3 IS for about a week now and am thoroughly impressed with it. Before the Canon I owned a Minolta Z6, and though both cameras' tech specs are similar, the Canon is far superior. I decided to migrate to S3 IS because of the Minolta's shortcomings, such as poor battery life, terrible handling of contrast, oversaturation of reds and bad white balance. As far as I can tell, the S3 has none of these problems. I was also worried about the learning curve -- changing brands can be daunting and difficult -- but the Canon is very intuitive and easy to set and handle, plus it offers tons of options to get it to do exactly what you want. It is also fantastic in low light conditions (as good as the Olympus C2100 UZ). The 12x optical zoom and image stabilization are fantastic. I have equipped the S3 with a Lensmate 58 mm lens adapter (several owners recommended the Lensmate product instead of the Canon adapter) and it works fine. It also spares me the minor aggravation of the original Canon lens cap, which comes off easily.

Everyone told me to switch from Olympus to Canon to play with the big boys, but I don't see it. Pictures are grainy, flash is overpowering, and the focus is just.. flat and one dimensional. I intend to upgrade, but my wonderful Olympus Camedia C-4000 4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom took WAY better pictures, hands down. I'm going back to Olympus.

I had this camera for almost 2 years now and I love it! I do professional photography and I take lots and lots of pictures. I am always pleased with the results that camera gives me. The zoom is great and the image stabilization really makes a difference. I like that this camera is quite compact considering its specs. I travel a lot and I needed a camera to have the manual options for me and the point and shoot for my wife.
I highlty recommend this camera, if you compare it to the rebel, its cheaper, more compact, you dont have to spend on good zoom lens, its low maintenance and it takes great pics.

The Canon Powershot S3 is easy to use and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a camera a step below an SLR. I took it on vacation recently and the results were great. The camera is not too heavy and bulky so it was fairly easy to carry. I would recommend getting the PSC-75 Deluxe Soft Case as an add on. The case fits on your belt loop and the camera is easy to get in and out of the case the way it is designed. I wouldn't recommend this option of carrying the camera for a woman. It might be too heavy for smaller belts. The only complaint I have about the camera is the lens cover. It does not fit snugly and falls off easily.

I am brand new to photography and was worried by other reviews that this camera may not be for me. However I bought it anyway. Boy, am I glad I did.
The features of this camera are amazing--the color accent, for instance is great. I showed a few friends a picture I took using this feature and they asked how I did it and how long I've been shooting because the photo quality and picture was incredible; remember I my only experience is with 'point-n-shoot' cameras. You can always use photo editing software to perform some of the functions the camera does, however having the features in the camera motivate you to take those shots you otherwise may have not.
The camera is extremely simple to use right out of the box. Simplicity of a point-n-shoot with quality of DSLR photos I've seen. Tackling the manual mode is a continual learning experience, however the more I learn, the better quality photos I take. Don't get me wrong, auto mode takes some remarkable photo's, but manual enables you to take breathtaking photos.
So if your on the fence about the complexity of the camera if your an amateur, don't worry, just by it. And, unless you really need a SLR camera, this is the one for you.

I had a Panasonic FZ-30 that got wet. After it got wet, it no longer worked. Although I was very happy with it, it was no longer in production, and the FZ-50 which replaced it was $150 more than the Canon S3, so I ended up buying the Canon.
That was a mistake. The Panasonics image quality is much better. The S3's pictures are grainy and never got that level of crispness I got with the Panasonic. It is also very light and does not have the quality feel of the panasonic.
I tried to save $150 and it didn't work. I am going to go ahead and buy the FZ-50.

I was debating on whether to upgrade to a digital SLR or go with a high-end digital. In the end, I decided I wasn't likely to lug around a bunch of lenses. So, I chose the S3 IS, because with a 12x zoom, it's like having a telephoto.
The camera takes great pictures, and has a lot of great auto settings - high speed, night, etc. I love pairing the AV mode with telephoto to create artsy photos where one item is in focus, and the rest is blurred.
While the LCD is smaller than some, the ability to flip it around more than makes up for it. Not only does it allow self portraits, but you can tilt it up to take ground level photos or tilt it down to take an over your head shot.
The video is also great quality, and you can zoom while filming and take still photos. However, if you take a still photo, when you plan back the video, there is a one second freeze where the photo was taken.
I really can't think of any negatives. I'm very happy with this camera.

I'm not a photo expert but this is a significant improvement over the Minolta Dimage F200 I had before. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and battery life is very good. I bought the camera in early August and the batteries have just given up in early September after some heavy use including video clips and lots of picture reviewing. The video mode is easy to use, there's a red button that will activate it no matter what mode is set on the dial and the quality is pretty good (including the sound). However, on one of the interior videos I shot the video appeared OK on the viewfinder but was very dark when played in windows. Windows Movie Maker cleared that up though. The other problem is the 1GB limit. That sounds a lot but because the video is not compressed it will use up the whole card in about 10 minutes if set on high resolution.
Overall picture quality seems very good but it does get a bit grainy at ISO 200 on low light shots. That's possibly because I haven't optimised the settings but other reviewers have mentioned this problem. Outside shots are very good with very natural colour rendition and little sign of chromatic aberrations (purple fringes).
Overall I have no hesitation in recommending this camera for people who want a camera that just works in Auto mode but also allows for some fairly sophisticated configuration options and has a great zoom lens. It gets 4 stars instead of 5 because the video isn't compressed and the ISO 200 images are too grainy.

This camera is very satisfactory, when you consider the price.
The color feeling is very nice and warm and it has a very good zoom...
The negative parts are that the lens cap never stays on and the display is small...

My only complaint is that it only comes with a 16MB Memory stick...
Nah - Are you kiddin' me?? That's not a complaint at all.. I knew that it only had that amt of memory, but you can buy SD memory so cheap nowdays it doesn't matter.
This camera takes GREAT pictures. You can use the Macro mode to fill the entire frame with a Picture of a Penny that is razor sharp - or use the 12x zoom to capture any action shots you like. I've not used the movie mode so I can't comment on that..
This is a great deal folks.

im not a camera expert but so far i really like the canon s3. ive been using it for a month now it seems to shoot real nice idiot proof pics. im more knowligible about video and it really takes nice video. what sold me was that many people i asked about this price range of digital cameras always compared other cameras to canon so i figured why not get a canon. hopefully as i get better with it i will enjoy it even more. i know there are alot of things that it does that as of now i have no idea what they are. hopefully this will enable me to get better at the action shots. i was told that canon has really good customer service and therefore i elected not to purchase anymore warranty. a friend had an S1 that was a couple of years old and it went bad and canon let her upgrade to the S2 for $100 which seemed reasonable to me

I love this camera! The reviews said that it made anyone look like a professional and it does! I've taken this camera on two vacations and had wonderful results! Even my husband, who couldn't take a good picture to save his life, can take beautiful pictures with this camera.
