Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom

Digital camera Review: More trouble than its worth
Summary: 3 Stars

This camera has the great zoom and works wonderfully in bright light, but has trouble focusing indoors or at any kind of close distance. The flash is a bit overpowering, so I try not to use it (i try to avoid flash anyway), but if you are trying to take a picture from 6 feet away forget it, because the picture will be washed out. I had a dinky little kodak easyshare that focused better than this one, but I wouldn't recommend one of those either. If you are willing to pay this money for a camera, it may be more worth it just to spring for the SLR. I wish I had.
