Canon PowerShot S3 IS Review
The feature packed Canon PowerShot S3 IS is a fun digital camera that takes amazing pictures. This new camera by Canon takes 6 megapixel pictures that will allow you to get up close with your subject when editing and cropping, or you can print out the full image to get great picture size. One of the best features about the new PowerShot S3 IS is the 12x optical zoom that Canon has integrated into it. You can get up close with a landscape shot easily, or get dramatic close ups of friends and family. Helping you with your image quality and clarity is the Canon Optical Image Stabilizer that compensates for unintentional movements that may occur. In addition to that, the Canon PowerShot S3 IS takes great pictures when in ISO 800 mode because it will give you colorful, sharper shots.
Now to the technical side of the PowerShot S3 IS. This digital camera comes with the DIGIC II Image Processor that allows you to get faster start up times, quicker auto focusing, and better image quality. When paired up with iSAPS technology as the Canon PowerShot S3 IS is, they work together to better improve the image sharpness, accuracy of the photo, and exposure of the shot.
Features on the Canon PowerShot S3 IS include the convenient MovieSnap mode. Enabling this allows you to capture stunning movies, but also be able to capture photographs while recording video. Never miss a moment with that feature. The high quality movies that the PowerShot S3 IS records, captures them at 60 frames per second which means you will get smooth video without having them be choppy and blurry. Perhaps the most interesting feature about this camera that sets it apart from the rest is the 30 shooting modes that it comes with. Having the Canon PowerShot S3 IS enables you to get shots with effects on them such as Auto, P-Program, Av-Aperture Priority, Tv Shutter Priority, Manual, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Switch Assist, Movie, Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Indoor, Nigh Snapshot, Color Accent, Color Swap, Digital Macro, Switch Assist, Vivid, Vivid Blue, Vivid Green, Vivid Red, Neutral, Sepia, Black and White, Positive film, Lighter Skin Tone, Darker Skin Tone and custom color mode.
