Link to a review coparing the S2 and S3. Canon Review

I am seriously thnking of the S3, though for the $90 difference, the S2 is perfectly fine!

My mom is seriously helping out to get a replacement camera. She's giving me cash as an early birthday and anniversary gift. As soon as I can afford half the camera she'll give me half the money as both gifts. Hubby is quite happy to have our anniversary gift go towards my camera (just to make ME happy... isnt he SWEET? I knew he was a good guy!)

Shais mom... lol, I agree with you! my kids know not to ask for something that expensive... even as a Christmas gift. Ashley got the $250 Canon Powershot A520 (or something like that) as her ONLY Christmas gift this year. She gets some awesome photos from that, and its now down below $200 in many places around here.
