    Pro : Small and very light, easy to use, good image quality overall, wide-angle, 4x zoom lens, optical image stabilizer to reduce shake

    Conclusion: The budget price of the Panasonic DMC-S3 is easily its best feature; however, image quality has been compromised and in low light the noise is a big problem
