Canon PowerShot S3 IS

The Canon PowerShot S2 IS is succeeded by the PowerShot S3 IS, and the S3 comes in a package that offers quite the fair bit of functionality at a relatively low price. It boasts an impressive 12x optical zoom and the built-in image stabilizer does a great job when it comes to hand-held shots with long focal lengths. You can capture images from any position or angle with the help of the rotating and tilting monitor. The 6-megapixel S3 is a compact digital camera that is extremely portable, boasting the DIGIC II processor for great looking pictures.
