I'm shocked to say that this camera simply just kicks ___.

I took video with the S3 the past could of days and I am simply amazed. Not only does this camera rule at pictures, but video as well.

Here are some videos I took recently with the S3, all hand held.

BNSF Northbound at Holgate Street

Onboard the Ferry Wenatchee

Exhaust of the Wenatchee.. EMD 710G3-16 x4 Goodness

And waiting at the Edmonds ferry terminal, a Northbound Stack train. This was a test of the combined Video and Picture taking capability of the S3

Cool! I want to get a S3 IS also. Sometimes an dSLR is just too much to lug around. Hmm, gotta decide if I want to sell my XT.

Ugh, I've said this a thousand times in your threads... I'm very jealous of your new camera. I don't know what it is but it's got to be better than mine.

I did this video for my mommy message boards... trying to get my littlest to wow the other moms with his use of "Famished" and "Parched". It didn't quite work out that way, it was more me, begging him to talk, lol. Oh, and I didn't realize I couldn't turn the picture to be viewed the right way.

And my middle son, receiving his DS a few months back.

For $399 (can get it cheaper now I'm sure) It was the best money I have spent on a digital camera. Awesome videos, amazing and stunning pictures. When my Flickr account is setup, you'll see what I mean :)
