New Canon SX Series?

[ParadiseLost]

I was looking to be a Canon S3 soon but I've been reading people alluding to the new models coming out soon. Does anyone have any details on this? (features/timeframe etc) I don't know if I want to get the S3 now or wait for its replacement...

It's always worth to wait for the next generation of cameras!This way you'll never buy yourself one!At least thats my opinion.

I think there are plenty of models to choose from right now and there's no need to wait for something better.Besides, The S3 IS is less than one year old, and I doubt a replacement is comming at this time.But who knows?At least I haven't heard anything...
My opinion:get the S3

Nope. But the S1 came in 2004, the S2 in 2005 and the S3 in 2006. Specific announcement dates are here:

So it is reasonable to expect the S4 (or S5) as early as Feb 2007 .. but it would likely not be available for a month or two after.

From S1 to S3, a new model came out every year from 2004 to 2006. So, a new model in 2007 will not be unexpected. The following website purports to show the new S4 but I suspect the picture is a fake. I find it hard to believe that the S4 will look identical to the S3 except for the higher resolution and zoom. Looks like a photoshop image though I can't be too sure. I don't read Thai.

The S3 is already very good for me but there is still room for improvement. For me, no need to increase resolution or zoom. Just give me the following:-

• Lens to start from 28 mm (sorely missed)

• Taking stills during movie taking should not interrupt the movie (interruption can be annoying)
