Wonderful Compact
Strengths: Size, picture quality
I normally shoot with a D70, but it is too large to take on business trips....this is the perfect compliment. I take it with me everywhere. Well done Nikon!!!

Very pleased!
Strengths: I really enjoy being to carry this camera everywhere that I go and still get quality pictures. It is sharp, has good color balance, and is exceptional for a camera this size.
Weakness: You have to be careful with the auto focus. Sometimes I have to wait until the camera is ready and the shot might be gone.
I have several 35 mm cameras and a Nikon D70. I have been very pleased with the pictures that I get from the S3. If you are careful, you can get images that are very good quality. Size is the real plus for me, along with the high quality images.

Cool looking and Compact
Strengths: Looks and portability. Big LCD screen. Ease of use.
Weakness: IMO, image quality is less than my Canon.
I really love the looks of this camera. The big 2.5 inch LCD screen is cool too. I like the non-protruding lens. But after using a Canon S400 for two years, the image quality of this Nikon is just not as good, in my opinion. I like that the Nikon uses SD cards. I got the Nikon because the Canon was small but still a little too heavy and bricklike to carry around with ease. I really care most...

Cool pix S3
Strengths: size/pic quality/ comes in a variety of body color
Weakness: video mode
qty of pics is excellent. Size is great. Pop in a 2Gb sd card and it works non stop. If they can get the video to work better, it would have gotten 6 stars from me.

Great portable with easy to use program menu.
Strengths: Easy to follow program modes. Video with time lapse. Size is incredible. Nikkor ED lens with excellent contrast. Built in photo fix to maximize the shot with in. Large LCD. Battery life...
Weakness: In regular Auto mode camera does search for the shot, USE THE BUILT IN PROGRAMS ALREADY! 15FPS on video not 24FPS.
This camera is a sleek pocket camera that is a pocket camera... People keep comparing these cameras to there D70 or SLR camera quality. It has the best program modes in the business, so use them. Video mode is great and has an incredible Time Lapse feature. Camera is wonderful and should have its place among the top pocket cameras. I've been reading that people don't like the flash, to bright....
