Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: GREAT Features
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second version of this camera I've purchased. The main attraction for me was the quality of the photos along with the ease of use coupled with advanced features that allows the user to "grow into" the camera. Start with the simple "auto" settings and then advance into the more "user defined" photographic settings. Great fun..
Being a believer in "simple is better" I appreciate the non-proprietary batteries, the "through the lens" viewing. This feature uses a LCD display in the viewfinder. VERY easy on the batteries and so easy to see and use even in very bight light.
With a very modest investment in time and reading this camera will give you hundreds of "keeper" photos.. Highly recommended..
Amazon is great to do business with.. Fair prices and great service..
Customer Review: Good camera, issues focusing
Summary: 3 Stars
This camera is ok, at first I thought it was great, but now I am not that impressed. The camera has an extremely difficult time determining what to focus on (it can't tell if it should focus on an arm or a face). This issue is in its extreme when you are shooting indoors. 1/2 to 3/4 of my pictures are not focused correctly. The camera is bulky, and if you just want to take your camera with you to take pictures it becomes a burden after a couple of hours. I live in Orlando so I go to Disney a lot, I've pretty much stopped taking my camera because of this reason. The battery life on the camera is excellent and outside pictures are great. Flash regeneration time is excellent.
Overall the camera is ok, if you do not take a lot of indoor pictures then you will be fine (that is if you don't mind lugging this thing around).
Customer Review: I love this camera!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this camera for a year now and I love it! The pictures are so amazing! Very crisp and clear. The zoom is incredible and the micro-closeup pictures are so beautiful!
I find that when the camera starts acting slow, I replace the batteries and it works quicker. I love the video function too. Its so much fun to be able to take quick little videos of my kids. Its very easy to use. I haven't used all of the features, but the ones I have used I've been very happy with. The flip out screen has come in handy several times. I have had 2 people purchase this same camera after trying mine. I can't say enough great things about this. If you are looking for a small camera though, this is not for you. I would recommend a smaller cannon if you want a little "pocket camera", but if you want to take great family pictures, this is the camera for you!!
Customer Review: The Best!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first experience with Canon and I'm stunned at the quality. The S3 has to be one of the best cameras ever made--mechanically, features, lens and image quality. You think you are you are shooting for National Geographic! There are so many useful features that improve your photography technique. You simply want to take pictures all day long. Can't wait for Powershot S series to reach 10 Mega Pixel.Customer Review: Widespread lens error makes S2/S3/S5 a bad buy.
Summary: 1 Stars
Search the Web a little for "Canon S3 lens error". What you will find is that thousands (40,000+) owners of Canon cameras have experienced a peculiar error "E18 - lens error. restart camera" and that Canon will charge you $250 to repair it. DO NOT BUY ANY CANON DIGITAL CAMERA UNTIL/UNLESS THEY CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. Otherwise, 12-15 months from now you can expect to be shopping for a new camera.
