I got really lucky with this camera; I purchased a used model for under one hundred dollars, fulfilled by Amazon so I had the confidence of a thirty day window to test the unit I received. The seller (Nextworth Solutions, Inc) did a great job and everything was in even better condition than advertised.
I am a true novice as far as cameras go, but I am learning how to use both manual and SLR features with this and my Panasonic Lumix LX5. The buttons to control the various functions on this camera are set up in a very self-explanatory, intuitive way so I barely have to reference the manual to figure out how to navigate the various functions.
Notes from usage:
For comparison, in auto focus mode on both cameras, the Lumix LX5 takes pictures that look slightly crisper and more "stylized"; the Canon photos have a slightly softer portrait quality to the pictures. I would trust the Canon to any event like weddings, baby pictures, birthdays, etc.
It paired immediately with my Macbook Air and there were no problems transferring the files to iPhoto with the cable provided.
I like that there is a dedicated button for shooting video.
I like that the majority of glowing reviews for this camera mention that this is a well loved camera owned for many years (generally five plus) and that the owner would still pick this camera again over newer/faster/more-bells-and-whistle options available.
I did notice the shutter speed is slightly slower than the Lumix but that may have to do with a higher quality ScanDisk card I am using in the Lumix.
Still getting to familiar with the features and functions of this camera but so far I'm very pleased with it's performance and would definitely recommend.

The S3 is one of my favorite cameras. I've given one of my older S3's to a younger relative - who makes videos with it all the time.It is a rugged, well built camera. Takes great images.

This product is extremely outdated now.
Cameras are smaller, faster, work better, take better photos, and are more user friendly.
It still takes good photos, but there are much better options these days.
In its day, it would have earned 4 stars.
Compared to what is available today, it gets 2.

To out dated not worth the money. No camera that takes double a batteries is worth spending over 200 dollars on! Its a junk camera canon made. I suggest to not buy this one there is another that takes a lithium battery which is the one I was looking for.

Yet again an adapter to free a device from batteries. Back in the day they would make these things of such flimsy materials they would fall apart in a month.Not the case here. This unit and cords are sturdy.I take a lot of videos of various pottery processes in my studio using the Cannon S31S mounted on a tripod.Batteries always fail after 30 minutes and this device produces constant power, hour after hour. The attachment cords give a full 10 ' of roaming room and do not get in the way.Cords store very conveniently.The small quite light weight brick tends to warm ever so slightly so do not cover it.Unit uses 110V. Now the cords.the 2 prong molded USA/Canada plug cord is ready to go.The other end plugs securely into the brick.The camera patch cord coming from the brick is permanently bonded to same. The other end inserts into the S31S.

I've had this camera for...oh about four years, going on five now. While I have the typical "lens error" and have for about a year now, I must say this camera is worth its weight in gold.
There's a 'set custom white balance' setting that has saved my hide numerous times when its preset lighting options were far off. It's a bit weak in indoor shooting, the flash often washes out subjects but it's quite decent outside or with natural lighting.
In its age the auto focus has slowed down, but I've dropped it from the back of a horse, got it wet in snow and rain, dropped it into a rocky mess and bashed/banged it into every object near by. It's still running fine, I've barely scratched it anywhere and the swivel screen still displays. No HD video but I'm not shooting HD with this little guy, just fun little videos here and there. It reads SDHC cards which is quite useful, I dislike seeing those old cameras that can't.
The zoom isn't quite as nice as some newer cameras, but for its age it's decent. I still use it as my primary point and shoot, and it has been durable for me for years now and I'll continue to abuse it. I bet it still has another three or four years of life in this little thing. Sure it sucks the life out of batteries now but really, I'm not going to complain!
I highly suggest this camera to those looking for a 'cheap' investment in a pretty decent medium sized camera. It holds well and doesn't give my hand a cramp. Easy to use one handed, comes with the neck strap and lens cap. Great little kit.

I bought this camera to replace one just like it that had gotten stolen. It's in excellent condition and all functions work perfectly.
I couldn't have asked for any better!
This is a great, honest seller with fast shipping! Couldn't be happier!

Still going strong after all these years. Handles light better than my 450D ever did. Takes better aircraft shots than my new SX40 HS (albeit at a lower resolution). Certainly had my moneys worth out of this little beauty...

Note: I am not a professional and know little about lighting/aperatures/ISO/ or anything technical. The little I know came from my first camera, a Pentax K1000.
I bought this camera for personal use in 2006. I still have mine, 6 years later and it takes fantastic sport pictures and anything else I like in my lens. I have just purchased a used PowerShot S3IS for the company I work for. The one I purchased for my work is for our online advertising. The pictures always turn out perfect. We have had 4 different cameras in the past 6 years. They can't keep up with the multiple photos, clarity, focus and "abuse" of the daily use. This S3IS is sturdy. It also has one feature I will never do without, a moveable LCD monitor. This makes out of view shots viewable. I love taking pictures with this camera, even 6 years later.
The clarity is amazing. I have read multiple reviews and the best one said the PowerShot S3 IS gives DSLR camera's a run for the money. This is also the reason I have not upgraded to a DSLR camera. I hope this helps.

This is an EXCELLENT CAMERA, This is the Best Digital Camera I have ever owened.
It is easy to use and light weight so if you like photographing nature it is an Outstanding Camera. It is well worth the money; both the amature and the professinal should find this camera to be a first-rate camera and a great gift. I am a professinal photographer and I use this camera on my world journeys. I would gladly and strongly recomend this camera to anyone, who wants matchless results. The zoom lens is Top Grade for this price range and makes it easy to take nature shots which are of framming quality. IT IS THE BEST DIGITAL CAMERA IN THIS PRICE RANGE.

The best feature: Great quality photos! I just love how crisp the pictures are even from far away. Amazing close ups too. Beautiful color. All this from a pretty basic (non-pro) digital camera. It has very nice features/scene options too. The only drawback is that it uses basic AA batteries so you can't just charge up the camera. (You can get rechargeable batteries to re-use, but I haven't gotten excellent life out of rechargeable batteries in this camera.) I had to have this to replace an identical model that I lost on a plane a few years ago, it is such a good quality model. I suspect that's why the price of this camera "new" has actually gone up in 5 years!

This was a gift for my wife. We have used this camera extensively and have been quite impressed with it. In fact we are now sold on Canon Cameras and bought a high end xTI SLR camera purely based on how impressed we were with this camera. It has several fun features that I've only seen on select Canon Cameras. One of my favorites is color accent and color swap. Color accent allows you to point a little box in the view finder at a chosen color, any pictures taken will only show that color and the rest will be in B&W. Yes, I know that it can be done in software, but being able to do it on the go is fun and if your like me, you never manage to spend the time with software back at the house to fine tune images. Color swap is another fun mode that will allow you to pick a source color and a swap color, allowing you to change Red to Blue (or any other two color combos) in the pictures you take in that mode. Another feature I really like is that the camera uses AA batteries. I wish more companies would get on board with this idea. When you've got a dead camera, you can be virtually anywhere, walk in a store and find AA batteries and your back in business.

I have owned earlier models of this camera, so the functions are familiar to me. I like the handling of this camera a lot, and it has a high end look to it too.
Very happy with this camera!

I bought this camera many years ago. I think I paid about $550 +/- for it. It's capable of 48x digital zoom but I never use digital zoom on any camera because the pics are terrible. This camera has a 12x optical zoom and with the 1.5x optional converter ($125), I have a 18x quality zoom. It uses 4 "AA" batteries that last for a long time, so you don't have to worry about recharging and replacing expensive rechargeable batteries and chargers that eventually quit working. It's a little more complicated than a point and shoot but not nearly as complicated as a DSLR. For a 6.0 mega pixel camera, it takes great pictures. I later purchased a $850 DSLR camera with 3.5-5.6/18-70 lens, an additional $550 3.5-6.3/18-250 lens and a $250 external flash and accessories totaling over $1700. This is a 14.1 mega pixel camera and it does take good pictures if you have everything set properly but I still use my Cannon Powershot S3 IS camera when I need to take a few quick shots and always have it as a back up. To the average eye, there is not a very noticeable difference in the picture quality. I love the 18x optical zoom with converter, since I have not been able to find more than 13.89x zoom for my DSLR at a cost of $550. I don't think Canon offers this camera anymore but I think they should. When you have a good product, why discontinue it? The only change I would make to it would be to have the ability to mount an external flash for those long shots. I thought about selling it a while back and I am glad I didn't. I had to send my DSLR camera to the manufacturer for repairs after only a few months but never had problems with this Canon Powershot S3 IS. Great camera that can hang with the big expensive dogs!

Didnt know why i never thought about it, but here it is, a power adapter for the long usage, so you dont have to change batteries, when you are in the middle of filming. I wanted to use my S5IS to record videos and the battery would not last, then this appears and my problems were solved. I alos have a portable battery pack, but if you are close to an outlet, just plug it in, and so far so good

I purchased this camera for my class and as in investment. This is a step up from my previous camera. Not too complicated where I don't know, or figure out how to use it. Takes grade A pictures.

I've owned my camera since early 2007. I thought that $310 was quite a bargan for a camera with all it's features. Had I known that a short time later the next model would come out with, I believe 10 MP, I may have waited. I took some great pictures at Thatcher Park in Altomont, NY while walking a upper trail around the horseshoe canyon. I notice across the canyon a parking area and a sign nearby. So I took a wide angle shot 1st, then went out to all the optical zoom and took a shot and then went all out with digital zoom and even from that distance you could read the sign when I made a 4x6 print of it. I'll never get to use all the bells and whistles it has. One feature I really liked when I took it to Disney was the video capture. Unlike all the other digital cameras I had before this one, I could zoom in while making videos. So I had one camera only, left the HI-8 camcorder at home. My only complaint has come in the last year or so. It seems that every time I try to capture video the camera will only capture around 3-5 minutes at a time. When I read the manual it says I can get up to 2 hours of video on a 2 gig card. I don't remember having this problem when I was in Disney. It could be a flaw in the camera or I may have inadvertently changed a setting. No matter, I just received a Sony digital camcorder as a gift. It is smaller, lighter and takes a lot more video on it's hard drive than I ever got on a HI-8 tape.

I bought this because it is much cheaper than the one Canon makes, and because it is metal as opposed to plastic. So far it has worked very well for me and feels very sturdy in my hand. I would definitely recommend that you buy this over the Canon manufactured one for your S5.

I recieved my package in a timely manner with all of the accessories and the box. The camera seems to stall when I take pictures sometimes though. That can be extremely frustrating when trying to take photos of a 2 year old or any animals. Hoping this is just my inept skills at photography and not the actual camera. Other than that, I am happy with my purchase. Not a usual online buyer. Amazon and the provider of my camera made it very easy.
