Opinion:
Very impressive camera from Canon.

Improvement from S3 IS includes an addition HOTSHOE, a larger 2.5" vari-angle LCD that provide very clear and sharp images.

I enjoyed take pictures and well as Videos with this camera. Like a Camcorder, it allows you to take full 8 megapixels pictures while u are video recording. Supports SD/SDHC memory cards which are 1 of the most value memory cards available.

However, due to its small CCD as compared to other brands, it lost in high ISO Noise, gladly, this can be corrected with an image editing software.

Other complaints will be a lousy lens cap that is easy to pop-out after some times of usage. Its Electronic ViewFinder quality isn't very good, which explain I end up using the 2.5" LCD to shoot that the EVF.

Sadly, most other brands already incorporate 28MM wide angels lens, which canon is still at 36MM. 12X is not a huge complain since most peoiple will use Wide Angle lens more than Telephoto lens.
