Handy & Handsome Camera....
(Chatpong - 8/15/06)Okey, I admitted just like others who were disappointed in buying the S3, that it offers lack of useful features like AF focus marks that all Canon offers or primary data like F.number and S.speed display which Sony gives. Picture quality might not be as good as what normally Nikon produces.
However, please do not forget that similar type of camera would be as good or bad as the S3 also. Do not compare S3 with bigger camera like Canon A and Ixus series, Nikon 5000 series to 8000 series or whatever specially not the DSLR type, and you will find it great and easy-handy.
I normally use DSLR Canon 20D or the prosumer type such as coolpix 5700 for more serious picture taking. The S3, I actually bought to replace my Nokia phone camera since it is very small, easy, handy, handsome and of course offer a real digital pitures comparing to my Nokia phone on the ordinally day since lots of time my work would require some photo taking. So for me, this is good enough. Not best, but great.
