Overall, this camera is excellent.


1. this product is not easy to use. I had other several digital cameras before and find this camera is more complicated than it shall be.
2. it does not auto-focus easily when zooming even with IS turned on.
3. the Macro does not work as it claimed.
4. the layout of buttons on the digital camera are not great. It's very easy to press one of the buttons when shooting.
I suggest to try out the camera before you purchase it. By the time you figure out this camera has problem, you might already pass 30 days return policy like I am.

But overall it is really great camera both for indoor and outdoor pictures, have taken pictures sailing, skiing, low light etc, all came out in great quality.


My only complaint is that the menu and set buttons on the back keep getting in my way. Other than that, it is an excellent camera.

In reviews I read that this camera might be too much for a beginner. That couldn't be more wrong. So the S2 went back. Not that it's a bad camera at all but I thought the $40.00 more was worth the better picture quality I got.


The image quality is very good. And it runs on 4 AA (standard) batteries, which are easy to find.
Though it may be a little bit bulkier compared to other slimmer models, the features in the S3 IS are hard to beat. I would otherwise have bought the Panasonic FZ7 if not for the flip-out view screen.
This is my second camera, my first one was the Canon Powershot A70, which also was a very good camera, and I liked it very much.

It's value for the cost is quite high.





You only need a large enough memory card 1GB, 2GB or more and you will have great fun with it. Its performance all around is great.
My favorite feature is its video mode. It creates beautiful (rather large) videos.

In macro mode, the zoom function is very limited. Only about a fifth or less of the 12X zoom can be used. After that, the camera will not focus. The field of view is about the size of a sunflower, if you are shooting flowers. I couldn't figure out how to shoot objects the size of bugs or coins without cropping. In supermacro mode, the zoom is unavailable altogether.
This may be a very fine camera for other purposes, but if you want to use the macro mode, don't buy it.

If you want auto Point and Shoot, please don't bother to buy this. Would be costly, instead go to S50 for point and shoot.
Has attachements for attaching lenses, did not try it, manual is not elaborate for amature person. Takes some time to get use to the photographs.
Worth every dollar.

Their support of their products is terrible, this camera has not worked right since I bought it and they dont care! Do yourself a favor and buy a Panasonic product, they make great products and they support them, unlike Canon
