Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Fantastic camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera a couple of years ago when I decided to upgrade from my 3.2 MP fuji. I debated between this one and the then brand new S5. Eventually, price factors won and I bought the slightly older, yet much cheaper model - the S3. The camera is great. I do not like simple point and shoot cams and the proffesional cameras are way out of my leage, so this is a great place in the middle.
The 12X zoom is amazing. I very rarely use the digital zoom, but on occasions were I have, the pictures came out very well. I love the functions that the camera has and the control that is given to the user over the different options of the picture taking (shutter speed, WB, format...). The special functions are also amazing. I especially like the panarama option and the color swap function.
As for video, I was very suprised at the high quality video that you can take with the camera. They play full screen on my 22" screen and look amazing.
All in all, this is a great camera for someone who likes to feel the camera in their hand and control the picture.
