S3 is

My new S3 arrived around a week ago and so far I think its not to bad at all.

I have been using a Olympus C-750 for the past couple of years but the
stability factor was getting me down. Having been a pre digital Canon owner
for many years and tossing up between point n click and digital SLRs I decided
to compare a few. In the end I chose the point n click because it looked like
I was going to have to spend in excess of AUD$2.5k to get a decent digital
SLR.

At around AUD$650 the S3 was the right price and gives me the ability of point
n click or manual adjustments. I looked at a few others in this price range
and there is no doubt that there is not a great deal between them and to be
honest I chose the S3 because it was a Canon and did everything I wanted it
to.

As I said above I have only had it for a week so I will report back when I
have had a chance to really play Smile

My 2 bobs worth!

My girlfriend bought an S2 a couple months back and I've been impressed
with the images coming out of it. A co-worker got an S3 and she's very
happy with it. The IS works quite well. The only thing I don't like is
the EVF.
