Canon Powershot S3 IS my Good Old Lost and Found Camera
We’ve had our Canon Powershot S3 IS for about 5-6 years and we’ve shot several thousands of photos with it. Even though it may seem outdated it is still widely traded as used and even sold as new (but not in retail). A used Canon Powershot S3 IS in good condition seems to go for around...

Great Camera - I love it!
I have 4 digital cameras and this one is by far the best. Great video capabilities, very clear movies. Fully automatic but with the options to control many features yourself. Fun photo options, b/w, sepia, color swapping, color accents. Lots of preset photo settings: indoor, nighttime, fireworks,... Read full review »
Good Camera until it gives you an E18 Lens Error
Great camera initially with a great zoom and photo quality. After more than a year or so the camera began to give me Lens Error problems that increased as time went on. I just googled the "E18 Lens Error" problem and identified that an extreme amount of info is available from consumers. Basically,... Read full review »
CANON POWERSHOT S3 IS DIGITAL CAMERA - Worth a thousand words
Being a man of many hidden talents, I bet you don't know that I also like taking pictures. No, not that kind you perv - but just photography. I started out with taking a class back in college in film and video production - and while my BA is mostly useless, it does mean that I've got a pretty good... Read full review »
Awesome Camera!
I bought this camera in mid 2007 after my little cheap Aiptek stopped working. The Canon S3IS is one heck of an upgrade! It takes great smooth video as well although it is a memory hog when using the highest quality video format (only 6 minutes per gigabyte!).
One feature I absolutely...

Very nice camera!
I bought this camera over a year and a half ago for $500, and it was worth every penny! I started with a Canon A520 and appreciated the ease of use as well as the picture quality, but wanted more mega pixels and features. I have to say, the awesome zoom was one of the features that got my attention... Read full review »
Beep beep....click.
The first time I turned on the camera and took a picture, it went something like this...[power on sound], zoom..."oh wow...zoom back out...", beep beep...click...pure joy. The picture of the airplane I shot dumping fire retardant on a wildland fire was phenomenal. The clarity, contrast, and zoom of... Read full review »
Best XMAS GIFT
After weeks and weeks of reading product reviews on different websites, I settled on this model based on: The fact that the flash was easy to turn off and that I could take it easily off of auto and do my own focusing. This may sound like a low list of requirements, but that was my list. Then I... Read full review »
Big Zoom in a Small Package
The Canon s3is is an awesome camera. It works well in Auto mode for the typical point and shoot user who doesn't want to control it manually, but has manual control modes for more advanced users.
Auto mode is great for snapping a quick photo in about any situation. From power up to your...

Best Surprise My Husband Ever Brought Home.
Forget flowers, chocolates and sappy sentimental cards. When I was down in the dumps about being the only family member (outside of my three-year old) that didn't have a camera, but I was the one that tried to use the camera most often, my husband came home the next day with the S3.
He...

Fallen in love with photography again
I had been using a Kodak CX4300 (3.2MP) for about the last four years, and although it did the job when originally purchased, I had just gotten to the point where I no longer bothered trying to use it when a high speed or long distance shot was needed.
I finally decided to break down a...

Canon Powershot S3 IS developed flaw
I've owned the camera for about a year. About 4 months ago I started noticing a "what looks like a fiber or scratch" in the same location at the bottom of most of my pictures. It's progressively getting worst. When I called the Canon store in Miami, fl they said that it would be 35$ to look at it... Read full review »
A smidge below a digital SLR- a great upgrade for point and shoot users
I bought this as an upgrade from my well-used and still loved Fuji 330 for the birth of kid #3.
It promised a 12x zoom, more manual choices and higher resolution than the workhorse point and shoot we used before- and it has delivered.
It has taken a steeper learning curve than...

Fantastic bang for the buck
I bought this camera spur of the moment for a trip to San Francisco. All I had was a point and shoot, which I knew wouldn't be enough for a trip to Yosemite and San Francisco.
This camera more than satisfied me. There were so many settings that I never had time to learn before going. But the...

Awesome Camera - Excellent Buy
I've had the S3 IS for a little under a year now, and I have, I believe, played around with all the nooks and cranny's it offers. I have 90% pros with 10% cons on this camera.
Pros (further detail):
Excellent photo quality! I have enjoyed the way this camera gets the incredibly...

Excellent, Fully-Featured Point-n-Shoot Camera
This camera is a top-of-the-line camera in the point-n-shoot category. Canon just released the S5-IS, which is basically the same camera but more megapixels and a few other small features.
To be honest, you're better off getting this camera because the prices are dropping significantly,...

A monster of a camera for the price
When I received this as a birthday present I was like,"Oh man,another digital camera" You see,its not that I have anything against a digital camera but when I take a picture I want to capture that moment right then and there and not have everyone smile for 15 minutes before the flash finally kicks...
