Canon PowerShot S3

I went car shopping awhile back–the first time I’d ever looked for one on my own–and, accustomed to the rapidly changing pace of the tech sector, I innocently asked the salesman what the differences were between last year’s model and the new versions slated to come out soon. He looked at me blankly, blinked, then responded, “The shape of the headlights.” Well, Canon changed a bit more than the shape of the headlights between the PowerShot S2 IS and the S3 IS, but not much. The newer model integrates a 6-megapixel CCD instead of 5 megapixels, and Canon tosses in a few new features, but ultimately, it’s the same camera. That’s not necessarily a bad thing–the S2 remains a great camera, and the S3 carries on the tradition.

Nikon's new 10.2MP D60 will cost about $750 for a kit that includes the camera body and an 18-55mm VR lens.

The Canon PowerShot S3 IS’s aesthetic seems to be a cross between those of a classic Volkswagen Beetle and a Busy Box. Granted, it’s the same body as its predecessor’s, but the silver bits stand out more against the current version’s iridescent, dark gray plastic than they did against the previous model’s silver coloring. As with the S2, there’s certainly enough here to keep you busy for a long time, though, and loving every minute of it.
