For years I've been frustrated that I either had to carry the weight of my SLR with its lenses, which has given me some great photos but meant I missed out on the spur of the moment shots, or a smaller camera that I could carry in my pocket but didn't give the me quality or sufficent zoom power.
Well the other day I bought a Canon s3is and have been very pleased with the results so far. Its small enough to fit into my pocket and it's12x zoom and antishake compensation really does seem to deliver the best of both worlds. The other day I was up on Dartmoor and two Dartford Warblers suddenly appeared in the ferns, singing to each other. about 15 feet away. I was able to point and shoot with the continual shot and later found I had some really nice, full frontal, images.
Has anybody tried the 1.5 teleconverter? I would be interested to know the quality of the photos it delivers and also whether it makes the camera too bulky to carry around for everyday shots.
I know some people wont feel anything but an SLR will give them what they want but I have been most impressed so far.
