Quick review

The good
Great handling, feature packed, great image quality, excellent macro function, good price
The bad
Intrusive noise at higher ISOs, purple pixel fringing, focus hunting at longer focal lengths, screen and viewfinder hard to see in bright conditions
Verdict
The Canon Powershot S3IS a few new neat features and tweaks that make it an interesting model and slight upgrade on its predecessor the S2IS
