I used the S3 IS for a short while and can tell you honestly it is a good camera. The S5 should only be better. It has an inbuilt flash and a hot-shoe, and a few other improvements over the S3. > > Any suggestions for something better that would fit my needs? > How about the Nikon Coolpix range? My first digital camera was a Coolpix 3100 and that's where I learnt a lot. The range has been expanded and comes with both simple point & shoots and decent bridge cameras. The coolpix P80 looks and sounds a lot like the S3/S5 of Canon. http://www.nikon-coolpix.com/e/p80.html C -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/ravages http://www.linkedin.com/in/ravages http://www.selectiveamnesia.org/ +91-9884467463
