S3 IS a solid multimedia Swiss Knife
(siddhartha Basu - 3/17/09)In Aug 2007, I got S3IS @ Rs.14K when S5IS is lurking at the corner @Rs.19K which was lil bit steep 4 me. Performance in still is good. But what surprised me is its video recording capability with stereo sound. I recorded live programe of "Dohar" - a Bengali band - all low frequencies were perfectly stored in avi format which takes lots of space but worth it .
Like all compact cameras, it is a compromised version. so, pixalation comes automatically at 400 & 800 ASA. so, one sd better try to use taking its limitation into count.
It saved me lot of money and space in my travel kit otherwise I sd take another VDO corder into it.
AA batteries r a boon due to their easy availability - the swiveling LCD panel helps to take shots even at the ground level to add a new fizz to shot.
though now out of production, I recomend it to my friends 4 its all round performance
