I like the Canon PowerShot Pro S3 IS digital camera a lot. It compares quite favorably with my old Olympus C-2100 UZ - with the advantage of a better zoom & 5 times the pixels.

As long as the lighting is good (in normal daylight, or using the flash) the pictures are sharp & clear. I do a lot of action photography, both indoor & outdoor - and if the above lighting conditions are met, the resulting pictures are great.

The biggest drawback to this camera, is it's poor performance when trying to photograph action in low light conditions. Pictures come out extremely grainy with any setting above ISO 200.

Otherwise, it's a great camera - very easy to use, a good weight (neither too heavy, nor too light). I rarely use the LCD screen, but it has a neat feature of being able to turn completely around to face the subject - so self-portraits are incredibly easy.
