Canon PowerShot S3 IS Review

The digicam megapixel race of years past seems to have settled down now. Six megapixels seems to be the best tradeoff between detail and noise. Cramming more pixels on a small digicam sensor kicks up the noise, while companies seem to have decided that selling less than six megapixels is too tough a job. Maybe it's because digital SLRs are happy with six (although their sensors are much larger), but the crowd seems to be content with six in a digicam.
