Powershot S3 is a Camera of Compromises

When you go to purchase a new digital camera, you’re faced with a choice: do you go with a small point-and-shoot camera, one that will fit in your pocket and show you your pictures on a big LCD screen, or do you go with a bulky DSLR with detachable lenses and amazing photo quality? It’s the decision between taking photography seriously or just treating it as a fun hobby. Well, maybe you don’t need to make that decision after all.

The Canon Powershot S3 IS 6 Megapixel Digital Hybrid-SLR Camera Kit is a high-quality camera that can stand up to other DSLRs out there, getting amazing shots that blow away anything that you’d be able to take with a point-and-shoot. However, it’s got features you miss out on with full DSLRs, such as a LCD screen and a compact size that’ll allow you to carry it around in your purse without much thought. It’s the perfect compromise for people looking for a step up from low-end cameras but not wanting to make the plunge to a huge DSLR.
