The Bottom Line In the right hands--only patient and experienced enthusiasts need apply--this camera can take excellent photos. Though it's still an excellent camera, some aspects of the S70 now lag behind its competitors'. Photo enthusiasts who favor wide-angle photography indoors or out will love the expansive view of this 8-megapixel EVF camera. A very well-executed megazoom camera, the Canon PowerShot S3 IS reminds you why dSLRs still have competition for photo enthusiasts' hearts.
