Canon PowerShot Pro Series S3 IS 6MP with 12x Image Stabilized Zoom

price difference is about $100 for the extra MP.

I need it to take pics and video clips of training and for family stuff.

Any advice appreciated.
I went from the Canon S1 to the S3. I looked at the S2 as it was on sale after the S3s came out, but the specs for the S3 won me over.

A lot more difference there than just the 1MB, IIRC. The reviews mentioned that they changed other stuff, IIRC.

Great camera, regardless. That is what I use for most of my pics here for the last couple of years.

Good luck, hermano!
