Very powerful zoom. Image stabilization is very good. Would have been even better if they had included RAW or TIFF support.

I bought this camera right before a trip to Paris and Burgundy. Normally, I'd take my 5D DSLR, but a hand injury dictated a much lighter camera. When I bought it, I thought I'd really compromised on image quality.
Having looked over the 300 shots worth keeping from the 900 I took, I have to say that the compromise in quality was very small indeed. I took a large number of low light shots on manual setting in the glorious Saint-Chapelle. Virtually every one came out a winner. I got the best shot I have ever taken of the circular stained glass on the west side of Notre-Dame. I got great causal shots of families relaxing in the Place de Vosges. And the IS on full telephoto shots in Puligny-Montrachet showed no shake at all.
I do wish that the camera supported RAW. And manual seems to take the resolution down by one notch, although I am still researching the user guide.
That said, for $500 you get almost DSLR camera quality which is easy to carry, easy to hold, and a joy to take shots with. This is a perfect starter camera for any one, and a great backup for DSLR users who can't carry a lot of kit.
Bravo, Canon!

We bought this camera to take on our trip across Europe and fell in love with it. The ease of use, the picture quality, the power of the zoom, the battery life - I could go on and on. This is a great camera for people who love to take pictures.

This is my 4th digital camera. I was going to buy a Canon SLR and found that it was out of my price range. The S3 IS was right there at the top of my range so I went to the local camera store to ask about it and look at it in person. I can tell you that it is a very solid feeling camera. It fits in your hands very well and the buttons are all within reach. The photo quality is really amazing. Image stabilization really helps with those long range shots. The multiple shooting modes are really handy too. The only down side to this camera is the number of options available. You can literally get lost in the manual. No worries though. Put the camera in AUTO mode, point and shoot. For most people this should work just fine. The camera is VERY fast. There is NO lag time from the moment you push the shutter button and the time the photo is taken. No more predicting your shots. I am not super happy with the lenses cap. It fits loosely and tends to fall off but there is a lanyard to keep it attached to the camera. Not the most important feature of a camera. The 2" LCD is pretty impressive as well. The movie mode is nothing short of amazing. If you use it make sure you get a large memory card. I filled a 256 MB card in about 45 seconds of shooting at the highest quality setting. Bottom line...GREAT CAMERA!

This is the perfect camera for someone who wants most of the capability of an SLR without the weight. Ideal for someone who likes to take close-up shots. An SLR might be a better choice for someone preferring landscapes.

My first Canon---I'm hooked!!! I spend too much time taking photos and editing on my computer. It's just so easy and the functions are right there at your fingertips. The easiest camera to use. Pictures are sharp, bright and exact. What can I take a photo next!!! Got to get going!!!

I have had the chance to use this camera in several different settings. I have had great results with sports action photos, low light situations as well as the normal auto mode. Zoom has worked great. Camera very easy to use. I debated on a digital SLR before buying this camera. I am extremely pleased that I chose this camera.

I am so happy with my Canon S31S! It has more features than any camera I've ever used and, with the lens adapter, you can add polarizing filters, or macro lenses, and extend your options even further. Plus, I love the swiveling display. Great for taking shots of yourself with your friends.

I struggled with buying a DSLR, having some photography experience, but the attraction of carrying one camera to get both Video and still photos overrode my desire to be a photo purist. Thus I bought the S3 and am extremely happy with both the quality of the video and the still photos.
A few minor drawbacks - I bought the Canon case for it (and sent it back). Unless you will be carrying the camera as is, without the lens shade/lens adapter, the case is useless, too little extra space for any extras. I bought the lens shade/lens adapter as it is the only way to be able to put a protective filter on and I read some reviews that advised it because it protects the lens barrel. I returned those as well. I found lensmateonline.com that makes 2 size lens adapters (52MM and 58MM) in metal (as opposed to Canon's plastic) both in black for the S3 and silver for the S2. They also have a retractable rubber lens hood available. I found that if you leave the Canon lens hood on inside while using the flash, you get a dark shadow in the picture, the retractable lens hood saves you the hassle of unscrewing your lens hood - which can be dangerous especially with the plastic lens adapter as it can get cross threaded.
The camera itself is phenomenal...

This is not a good camera, but a good video camera.
Purple Fringing is horrible, and image quality is way worse than its main competitor: The Panasonic family of megazooms. Purple fringing happens easily for megazoom cameras if the lens is not top-notch. S3 IS got poor glass.
Canon S3 IS only has one advantage over the Panny: excellent video functions. You can actually zoom when taking a video, which the Panny cannot.
Future buyers, please go to your local store and try this one out with the Panny side by side, copy the photos to your laptop, and zoom in to see the purple fringing difference. [...]

I own the Rebel XT and just purchased this camera a few days ago. The S3-IS the camera of my dreams - it is already my favorite. Don't get me wrong, the XT is a wonderful camera, but not nearly so easy to master. I used this camera last night to take shots of my son playing football, using the sports setting. In the past, with the XT, I would only keep 20% of my shots. With this camera, I've kept 95%. I nearly filled a 1 gig card and I'm thrilled to have captured these memories. If you are not an experienced Canon camera user, the controls and options may be difficult to understand at first, but the great thing is the camera can be kept on the auto setting, great pictures can be achieved, and you can learn while you use it! When Canon upgrades again, I'm going to sell my Rebel, buy the new model, and give this one to my husband. To all parents of athletes: BUY THIS CAMERA. You will not regret it.

This was a Christmas gift for our son. We did a lot of reseach before we bought this camera. It was highly rated, and as far as our son is concerned, he feels that it certainly has lived up to its reputation. He is very pleased with its performance. It is easy to use and produces pictures of high quality. We purchased it from Vanns. The price was very good, and we received it promptly as promised. We would definitely do business with them again through Amazon. Thank you.

I'll admit, the first two weeks I used this camera it was great. However, I never really had the chance to find out for sure b/c after two weeks my camera stopped working. It shut down during use and wouldn't turn back on. I sent the camera back to Canon Factory, hoping it would be fixed or for a replacement, however, I was told that it was unrepairable and I was SOL - basically. Reason? corrosion. From what? - Canon wouldn't say. How is this possible after two weeks and only 3 uses?!?!?!?! So i'm out $500 and I'll be sure never to buy another Canon product. I feel I've been had by the Canon people. After reading reviews/complaints I found that this was a common problem among Canon products. Advice for consumers - keep your camera in bubble wrap and don't use it. This way it will last at least a few months. Good luck!

Pros: Excellent picture quality, great zoom, nice panoramic feature, SD card, great video and sound quality for a picture camera, the best that you can by for this money and the LCD can rotate in any angle.
Cons: Flash does not pop up automatically; just 16mb SD card in the box.
PD: this camera size is not a pocket one but the size is good enough to shoot with one hand.
Advice: use rechargeable batteries and a large SD card (2 or 4 Gb) cause the video is so good that you will love shooting. Also, must of the times you will need the flash indoor other way you will have bad pics; with flash results will amazed you.

Excellent camera, I got mine a week ago and I am very impressed. Overall it has a nice solid feel. Resolution is just fabulous. I originally wanted a compact camera that I could fit in my pocket to take places where an SLR is just too big and cumbersome. At first I was looking at the Leica D-Lux 2. But I found it too small for my large hands and fingers. Also the Leica is so smooth that it is sort of slippery to hold. The Canon does not have as high a resolution but is certainly acceptable, it is bigger which means it only fits in big pockets, but it has a nice grip. It is quite comfortable. The flash is not super powerful, but it is adequate and comparable to other cameras with built-in flashes. It is good for about 15 feet. Oddly enough you have to flip the flash up yourself but I don't consider it an issue. Outdoor photos are spectacular. I bought a 1 gb card for it and am quite happy. Battery life seems good too.
My only complaint is not even really a complaint. There are so many features packed into the camera that it takes a significant amount of time to traverse the menus. I am sure that when I become more familair with it, it will not be a problem.

Great camera. It takes nice pictures even at night : I pictured some buildings in Las Vegas without flash and are very nice. I couldn't get the same results with a Panasonic Lumix from same category (even with flash ON).
It's a bit heavy but it's a nice camera overall. Nice IS too.

reat Product, well packaged and presented. Ergonomically designed for comfortable use. Battery life is good especially with 2500mAh NiMh.
- Especially poor things: Struggles to focus on maximum zoom in low light conditions
+ Especially good things: Easy to use from the box in auto mode. Offers great flexibility for the advanced user with many modes. Especially like the sports mode for rapid fire shooting.

This camera is by far the best one I have ever bought. The flash is a little to bright if you are up close to a person subject, but I think you can adjust that, I just haven't figured it out yet. Other than that, no disappointments for this camera...love it!

This is my first digital camara. I just barely swithched from my 35mm Rebel. I have really enjoyed this camera so far. It takes a nice photo. I am still learning about all it's functions. I really like the video option. I have taken more photos since converting to the digital age. Coupled with different movie software it is a quick transition from photo/video to home movies.
All in all the camera has exceeded my expectations.
