      Canon Powershot S3 IS

      By Staff writers

      Review summary: A pint-sized camera that packs a punch, with consistently good performance in all conditions

      Verdict: Luckily, the S3 more than compensates with picture quality. So what if it's only got six million pixels? Its real-life definition is almost on a par with 10MP foes like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, and across its ISO range its performance is actually ...

      Canon PowerShot S3 IS

      By Jeff Keller

      Review summary: The Canon PowerShot S3 IS ($499) is an update to last year's very popular PowerShot S2 ultra zoom camera. The S3 isn't a revolution compared to the S2 -- in fact, the upgrades are fairly minor for the most part. New features on the S3 include:

      Pros: Very good photo quality ; low noise levels for a 6MP camera ; 12X zoom lens with optical image stabilization ; Full manual controls ; Excellent movie mode: VGA resolution (30 fps), stereo sound, zoom ability, wind screen, selectable audio quality ...

      Cons: Redeye ; Movie mode file size limit arrives quickly ; Electronic viewfinder resolution could be better ; Plastic tripod mount ; RAW format support would've been nice ; Tiny memory card and throwaway batteries included ; lens cap isn't great

      Verdict: Canon includes a 16MB memory card with the PowerShot S3, which holds a grand total of four photos at the highest quality setting. That means that you'll want to buy a memory card right away, which brings up the initial price of the camera bit. The S3 ...

      Canon PowerShot S3 IS Digital Camera Review

      By Emily Raymond

      Review summary: The 6.1-megapixel Canon PowerShot S3 IS has a 12x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization. Pictures come out nice and clear, and the S3 takes great video, too. It arrived on the scene in spring 2006 and has since been outdone by the Canon ...

      Verdict: The camera is shaped like an SLR, with a chunky hand grip and large lens barrel. Its shape makes it comfortable to handle, but also prevents it from fitting into a pocket. The 4.46 x 3.07 x 2.97-inch body weighs about a pound and requires four hefty ...
