5 out of 5 stars This is a GREAT Camera   January 15, 2008
I love taking picture, aspecially of all my grandkids(9 of them) This Canon gave me the features I needed to catch them in the act. The Image Stabilizer helped so much. I really love this camera.


5 out of 5 stars Better than I imagined   January 6, 2008
I am so glad I went with the S3 over the S5. I worried about the megapixel difference but I am so happy to say - there is no lack! Save your money and buy the S3 - it's great!!!!


3 out of 5 stars Slave flash for S3 IS - Question   December 30, 2007
 0 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have a Canon Speedlite 200E. Can this be used as a slave flash for the S3 IS?

If not, can anyone recommend a good flash?



4 out of 5 stars Good Camera but I have one issue   December 29, 2007
I have had this camera since September, 2007. Overall an good product and relatively easy to use. I do have one question to the other users. When I take a vertical image, it is cropped on both the right and left sides. In other words, the inage appears in the middle and black lines on either side. I contacted Canon and they said this is normal. I have a hard time believing this. I have had other brands of SLR's and an Olympus digital and this never happened. Can someone tell me how to override this and if I take the memory card to the store for prints, will this image have the same lines on either side?


5 out of 5 stars wonderful!   December 28, 2007
I have had a camera for over 20 years now. I love taking pictures and trying to get what I see to translate to the picture so I can share my vision with others. Since I got my first digital, I feel like I've been fighting with the camera to do what I want, and it was getting harder and harder to get my vision across.

And then I bought the S3. It makes things so easy! Just keeping it on Auto has made some terrific photos, which show what I wanted to show, without having to fight anything.

It turns on and off instantly, unlike the camera I replaced with the S3. It's almost silent. The noise of taking a picture can be turned on and off, but I like the little noise, so I keep it on. You can also change the noise to something silly like a dog barking, which is amusing.

I've started to experiment with the other settings, but even if all I ever used was the Auto and my "eye", I'd be happy with this camera.

I did consider the S5 because it has a couple more options, but when I tried them out in a store, the S5 was just a little bit bigger, deeper from front to back, and it didn't fit my relatively small hand as well. The S3 is a bit smaller, and fits perfectly.
