canon powershot s3 is vs s5 is
i’ve been itching to take photos again and since i broke my ricoh caplio r3 a few months ago it looks like it’s time for a new camera purchase. i’m down to canon powershot s5 is but it won’t be available until july (and who knows when on my part of the planet) and the price is a bit steep (around $500). so i’m thinking about getting the s3 is instead (its older brother) which is only around $300 these days. i’m having doubts though. there are other cameras out there with cool features like sony dsc-h9 with its beautiful 3″ lcd and an infra red mode that lets you take photos in total darkness or the olympus sp-550uz with its whopping 18x optical zoom but what appeals to me the most from canon is the flip out and twist lcd that enables me to take shots from weird angles and even shoot myself.
so. i’m. confused.
any camera experts out there? help me out!

My PowerShot S3 takes very good night pictures. I was shooting last week and it was pitch black dark, I mean I could not see in front of me. Although I knew there where a lot of people, it was a private party. I put the camera in night mode and flashed a shot…Bright as daylight….Put the pictures on my computer for a little digital zooming and I was able to see the very small details of subjects many feet away from me.
