When it came time to purchase a camera, I really researched digital cameras. Read up on the what importance the zoom made and how important the megapixels were. After researching I went to our local office supply store and looked at all the cameras available. My choice was the Canon PowerShot. I liked the way it felt. Although it's a bit larger than most digital camera, it feels like what a camera should feel like. The zoom on the camera is awesome. I'm still learning all of it's capabilities. I did purchase a 1.0 GB memory card and not only have i stored 100's of photos on the... review »

I bought this camera in May 2007 after about 6 weeks of comparing different brands on the internet and in stores. It has more features than I will ever use but once I figured out the basics it was very easy. The screen on the camera rotates so you can turn the camera around or up high and still see what you are shooting. Pictures can be taken quickly too with just a second or two process time. The battery life is also very good. It uses 4 AA batteries. The only disadvantage that I can think of is using the flash. You have to remember to put the flash up, it won't do it automatically. ... review »

I am an amateur at photography and still have a lot to learn but I have a love for taking great pictures. I purchased the Canon S3 IS a few months ago, not because I "Needed" a new camera, but because I happened to be browsing through the electronics department and came across this one and it was reduced to half the price. I was very impressed with the performance. We have taken beautiful photos with this camera.The features are easy to use, And there isnt that awful shutter lag that usually takes forever.I love that you can do movies on it although I dont use it for that. I would recommend this... review »

I got this camera because it was a hell of a lot cheaper than DSLR's but because it still looked like one. And I have to say, I love it: Great functions, great control. Only buy it if you're going to take it off Auto.

But, I would give it 8/10 because the quality of the shots is starting to disappoint me...
When I put it on high ISO or low Aperture, the graininess goes way the hell up, to the point where I get marked down in my photo class! Grr.

Overall, I'd say it's a great camera for the cost and for middle-of-the-scale camera users.
I recommend it.

Having boys who are quite active in dirt bike riding, I needed a camera that could take good action shots. I am so happy with this camera, it's easy to use, and it takes great photos. Other cameras would take pictures of the dirt and dust that was left behind a speeding bike, now I get perfect pictures!!
