Canon PowerShot S3 IS prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot S3 IS was produced on Feb 21, 2006 and is sold in USA for 200.00
The Canon PowerShot S3 IS belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Canon PowerShot S3 IS has different automatic modes but you won't get photographs of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The PowerShot S3 IS can take images at 6 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the model will make images with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot S3 IS is small. And if you want to make images of the professional quality pay attention to Nikon D4S.
The Canon PowerShot S3 IS has max shutter speed of 1/3200 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for taking action images of a very good quality. The Canon PowerShot S3 IS has articulated LCD that will let the photographer to take great selfies. The PowerShot S3 IS can even record videos but the max resolution is not very good - 640 x 480.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner can't change it. The lens has great 12x optical zoom.
