Excited and happy at first.... now very disappointed :0( 
I did weeks of research looking for a camera with a good zoom, a wide choice of aperture settings and good picture quality! I purchased this camera in April of 2007. It seemed to be working fine and I've taken hundreds of pictures with it. Now a year and 2 months later (2 months after the warranty expired) I went to go on a hike and tried to turn my camera on only to find that it was dead. We tried putting new batteries in with no avail. After returning home from my hike I started doing some research on the internet. I have found quite a few different posts that detail the very same problem as mine. One post mentions that a circuit board in the camera went out and it was almost $200 to fix it. I am a very disappointed customer at this point. I figured a camera that cost $ 350 would last longer than a little over a year. Canon has not issued a recall and hence will not repair it for free. I'm thinking I might need to look elsewhere for my next camera.
Awesome Zoon 
Nice Pictures, Very amazing zoom, lots of functions and very hadfull screen. You can take professional pictures.
Great camera!
This is a great camera for a new camera user or one who is more advanced.
You can do so many things and get some great images. Love the ease of learning.
Canon S3 IS is a great camera
You need to spend some time with the camera and the owner's manual before taking it on your next safari, but it has great flexibility and produces great shots.
I like the fact that the viewfinder is a small video screen so you can see exactly what is going to be in the picture as well as using it to review pictures.
Battery life was very acceptable using name brand rechargeable batteries that were slow charged.
Ok 
Its an ok camera to take to places where i dont want to risk bringing my PRO ones...althogh i already had some problems, it didnt work just after year i have it...cost me about 4150 to have it fixed
