Don't cut corners on the imaging chip!
(Mike ONIFFREY - 11/19/06)I own DSLRs for jobs, but always carry a point-&-shoot wherever I go. My last P&P was a Canon G3; beautiful. I bought the S3IS mainly for its amazingly long 12x glass. Wish I could combine the wonderfully smooth grain and natural color of the G3 with the S3ISs zoom. S3 images are a bit high on graininess, noise and compression, even at ASA80, compared to the G3; I wonder what internal corners with snipped at by Canon. Otherwise, a good knockabout camera.
