Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I was really disappointed in this camera. When I first got the camera I noticed the pictures were very noisy. My Nikon point and shoot had much better quality. Then right before the warranty went out the lcd screen stopped working. I have tried to find my receipt but haven't had any luck. So- I probably have paid 500 for a camera I got to use for nearly a year. Not a good deal. I strongly urge you to look for another camera.Digital camera Review: Blurry, Heavy and Unreliable
Summary: 1 Stars
Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to the negative reviews about the camera taking blurry shots. They mentioned a desire for Canon to come out with a firmware update to alleviate the problem. Well the firmware has yet to be released. Now the zoom lens mechanics work but the camera doesn't recognize its already fully zoomed and assumes it is actually not zoomed at all so consequently stays in the fully zoomed mode. Canon support was useless since 1 year has passed since purchase. It has never been dropped or bumped so there is no error message that would be displayed if either of the aforementioned had happened. They offered a customer loyalty option to turn in my camera and pay another $275 plus $10 shipping for a refurbished and out of date G9. Don't buy this camera!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. Digital camera Review: Great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is great. Since I was using an older Kodak Easyshare to take motocross pictures with, all I can say is I'm glad I have this camera now. The 12x zoom really helps me get closer to the rider. This camera has some nice built in features as well. I like the fact that I can change the picture size via the camera functions. Instead of having to upload the picture then put it in photoshop and resize it there. The color feature is really nice as well. I now take my pictures in vivid color. What a difference it makes. It's as if a professional photographer with a high dollar camera is taking my pictures for me. I mainly take motocross pictures at the tracks and have to deal with a lot of sunlight and dust. I purchased the canon lens adapter with hood and got a UV protector filter to protect the camera lens from dust. The lens hood combined with the uv filter does a nice job of blocking out most of the sunlight to give me nice sharp colorful picture. Taking action pictures is a tough business because motocross riders are passing you at speeds of 30 - 60 mph and this camera does a great job of capturing them. I can't wait to get the zoom lens, then I'll have a few more options. All in all this is a great camera to step into after using a lower line camera.Digital camera Review: Dynamic All-in-One
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this camera for years now and it still continues to impress me. With its swivel screen and interchangeable lenses, settings for super macro and manual focus and so many specialty uses, this camera has everything you could ever want!
