good for architects>>>>

(anakonda10315 - 10/15/06)

actually S3IS is a good camera for taking nice pics.but the only problem that makes the owner,a little angry is the "noise"!i advise you to buy "tele converter" and "wide converter" to take better pics.this is also good for architects becuse of its otical zoom.
