Canon S3 - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #49343 9 posts Started by lagos
I have been using S3IS for over a year now.
It's one of the best all around cameras I have ever used.
I love the ultrasonic lens and image stabilizer. The auto-focusing is very fast and precise.
The movie quality is incredible.
You can also zoom in/out while capturing a video plus taking a full resolution still shot.
You can't beat 12x zoom and ability to focus at 0" in super macro mode smile.gif
I have it with an adapter and Hoya UV filter.
I can also put on a polarizer when needed.
Mine without the lens hood.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
are you going to go with that?

i too am in the market for a new camera, i haven't done enough research yet though...
i think so. it looks like the best camera in this type of price range.

I got an S2..the only thing I hate about it is the auto-focus..it just sucks, its slow and innacurate in dark areas , I hope the S3 is better.

But I love everything else about it, I just wish the pictures were SLR quality!

here is a link to a vid done with the s3. its uncompressed avi but the quality is very close to that, even after wmv compression.

what do you guys think about the new s5? or the sony h5?
