Canon S3

[matthewpin]

Anyone tried this camera yet? I used to have the S2 and LOVED it but I felt the need(Why?!?!?!) to upgrade to a Rebel XT, which I sold because it was way to much for me

Looks like a 6Mp fixed lens canon. Why was the RebelXT too much for you?

I loved the camera it just had ALOT more than I needed in a camera. I thought i would be good for me but it wasn't..I need something that can take video's as well as pictures(I have 2 kids)

Go G7 or better, G6 if you can find it, same features, higher res -although the same sensor size- and great features that will ease the transfer to a DSLR once you feel like it

the only thing that kills me now (low on $$$) is the cost of the g6 and g7.

I've seen some nice pictures from the S3's. Even with the 1.75 Tele-adaptor.

yeah i'm just so torn..

Well, unless your really into getting a slr, the S3 seems like one heck of a camera. I've seen pictures from them with that tele extender on it, that equal images from a Canon 5D. Really smooth, creamy shots, no grain at all.

Yeah i've been looking at pictures all week from the s3...i think you just sold me on it geezer

[Ask The Geezer]

Just sent you a PM. I'm really impressed with this camera. If I ever have to get rid of my 30D, I think I'd get one of these to replace it. It might have less bells and whistles, but man, the image quality is better than my camera.
