Strength:
The lens which is powerful but very well stabilized. The exposure metering system which is very accurated in most situations and have many controling options easy to reach and manage with. The system menu which is very intiutive and comprensible. The use of normal AA size battery. The good ergonomics of the camera. Quality of the pictures are very good most of the time, sometime exceptional.
Weakness:
The electronic viewer especialy using the camera in strong outdoor sunny back lightning which is a bit annoying for traveller photographer. It goes even worstier when you are wearing glasses or sunglasses.
Since I was looking for a very versatile and good quality digital still camera, I must admit that the Canon S3 IS is a very good contender in his catogory of high end great zoom compact cameras. It works perfectly well in several situations and in particular in indoor picturing, low light condition, good in portrait, fast to respond to action or spontanious situations, in one word as I has said a very good camera. Customer Service The camera has worked flawlest during the time I have used it. Similar Products Used: Olympus C-4040, Olympus C-5050, Canon A 530 |

Strength:
- One the easiest to use ultrazoom cameras
Weakness:
- Rickety plastic body, especially on the handgrip
Overall, this is one of the most value-packed cameras for under $500. Has 12x of zoom, and lots of manual controls. However, to get the most of the camera, one has definitely got to learn the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and flash exposures. The Auto setting is only good for emergencies, i.e., quick shots.
Customer Service Will try to return the unit due to the racket the body makes, so I'll keep everyone posted 'til then. |
