Product Rating: 4 star(s) Review: Canon PowerShot S3 IS

Comments:
An update to the PowerShot S2, bringing a flexible mix of features, zoom and image stabilisation in a surprisingly compact package. Here is the camera that came 3rd in our "cameras for £250" buyer's guide...

Review Verdict: There are similarly-priced digital SLRS that have better performance; pay more and you'll get better image quality too. But they'll be bigger and more complicated. The combination of the excellent zoom, good image stabilisation and wide range of features

Comments:
Going grey is a sign of ageing but the PowerShot S3 IS wears it very well

Review Verdict: The reasonably fast f/2.7 to f/3.5 maximum aperture means that you can, to some extent, isolate objects against blurred backgrounds by using a fairly narrow depth of field. However, as with other compact super-zoom cameras, it doesn't hold a candle to a D
