The Canon Powershot S3 Review!The Canon Powershot S3 offers you high resolution, extra-long zoom, advanced yet easy-to-use movie functions plus great new shooting options! With Image Stabilizer technology, images & movies taken with the Powershot S3 are consistently sharp and smooth, time and time again. Successor to the popular PowerShot S2, the latest addition to the PowerShot S-series incorporates a 6.0-megapixel CCD sensor, Canon's renowned optical Image Stabilizer technology, and video functionality that is rivaling that of more dedicated digital video camcorders.
It includes an increased sensitivity range of ISO 80 to ISO 800, a larger 2.0-inch vari-angle LCD screen, wide screen recording, new movie features, and an additional Sports mode for those more difficult of subjects. The PowerShot S3 also caters for serious photo enthusiasts seeking extended zooming flexibility and fully featured movie recording in a versatile compact digital camera.
An Ultra-Sonic Motor drives rapid and near-silent zoom operation and an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens element significantly reduces chromatic aberration in telephoto shots. Technology counteracts camera shake brilliantly to reduce image blur when shooting stills or recording video, which is essential for hand held shots at longer focal lengths. Image stabilization also allows photographers to shoot at shutter speeds up to 3 stops slower for reliable flash-free photography in low light conditions.The Canon PowerShot S3s 12x optical zoom combines with digital zoom to deliver 48x magnification for both stills and video. For even wider framing options, optional wide and telephoto converter lenses will extend the focal length from wide 27mm to super-tele 648mm for an impressive 24x optical zoom. A Super Macro mode & optional Close-Up lens 500D allow the photographer to take clear, detailed macro shots at a very close range. In addition to Image Stabilization, the PowerShot S3 features a new High ISO Auto setting and ISO 800 to further extend the camera's low light shooting capabilities. High ISO Auto automatically sets exposure using the higher range of ISO sensitivities, enabling faster shutter speeds in low light and increased image stability at the telephoto end. A dedicated ISO button allows for easy switching between ISO sensitivities. Powerful video functions make the PowerShot S3 far more than just a digital still camera. Canon Powershot S3 Features Include:
The Movie mode also allows users to pre-select exposure and white balance, zoom throughout the camera's focal range, and manually adjust focus while shooting. A Photo In Movie feature enables capture of full resolution digital stills during recording.
Together with 2.3-frame-per-second continuous shooting, a new fast-shutter Sports mode with improved autofocus accuracy provides unprecedented capabilities for capturing any action or sports sequences. During the Canon Powershot S3 Review we found the features available to be dramatically advanced for a digital compact. We'd recommend this as one for the pro, or serious enthusiast, but certainly not if your just taking your first steps into the world of digital photography!
