Since the two cameras are so similar, I will be reusing portions of the PowerShot S2 review here. What's in the Box? The PowerShot S3 has an average bundle. Inside the box, you'll find: • The 6.0 effective Megapixel Canon PowerShot S3 IS digital camera • 16MB Secure Digital card • Four AA alkaline batteries • Lens cap w/retaining strap • Neck strap • USB cable • A/V cable • CD-ROM featuring Canon Digital Camera Solutions • 25 page basic manual + 169 page advanced camera, direct printing, and software manuals (all printed) Canon includes a 16MB memory card with the PowerShot S3, which holds a grand total of four photos at the highest quality setting.

And don't forget a fast charger, either! ISO 200 ISO 400 ISO 800 You'd be hard-pressed to see a difference in the noise levels of the first three shots. You should be able to make large prints of the ISO 80, 100, and 200 shots without issue. Noise levels start to pick up at ISO 400, but you can still get a midsize print out of that shot, and maybe larger if you use noise reduction software. For the ISO 800 shot you're stuck with 4 x 6 inch prints, and noise reduction software helps a lot here as well.
Overall, the PowerShot S3's photo quality is very good. The camera took well-exposed photos with accurate color, low purple fringing levels, pleasing sharpness, and Canon's trademark 'smooth' look. Noise levels were low through ISO 200, and even ISO 400 is usable for small and midsized prints. This new 6MP sensor that Canon is using on many of their 2006 cameras has really impressed me in this area. Don't just take my word for all this, though.
