Great camera to own

Sep 7, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 12x optical zoom,very good pictures
Cons: lens cover
Opinion:
I agree that there are better cameras with higher pixcel but if you are looking for 12x zoom then this is the one to own. The only con is the lens cover which keeps poping out and u may loose it if you are not careful enough.The picture quality is very good and so is the video recording which can record about 35 minutes on a 4gb card.

A GREAT CAM AS A PRE-PRO

Feb 21, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: has full manual control and power 12x zoom
Cons: there's really nothing bad bout it
Opinion:
this cam is just the one right before you go into pro photography with a dSLR. of course there is the image quality of Canon as found in every Powershot. than there is the user friendliness of Powershot cameras. a 12x optical zoom. hot shoe and really boundless realms adventure. if u r not ready for the dSLRs this is the best pre-dSLR cam u can find!

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 ... Read more
