A Few Concerns
I don't have any serious concerns with the S3 IS, it is easily my favorite ultra-zoom digital camera.
Conclusion
The best in class S3 IS provides serious photographers with a no-nonsense mix of creative capability, technical versatility, and intuitive usability. Sports, action, and nature photographers will benefit most from the extra reach of the S3's long zoom and the Image Stabilization system, but serious shooters looking for a digital imaging tool that handles like an SLR and provides all the convenience of a P&S digital camera are also going to love the S3 IS. Earlier this year I did an exhaustive real world test of the Panasonic FZ7 (the S3's primary competition) and it's my opinion (based on 30 years experience as a photographer) that the S3 is a better camera, across the board. Some reviewers have touted the S3 as a good choice for both beginners and advanced photographers, but that's simply not the case. The S3 IS is MUCH MORE camera than the vast majority of casual photographers, snap-shooters, and novice shutterbugs are ever going to need (or use). The differences between the S3 IS and the S2 IS are minor when compared to the similarities, so the substantially cheaper S2 IS may be a better choice for some budget-restricted purchasers.
Pros
Excellent image quality, 12X USM Image Stabilized zoom, full manual controls.
