chazz911234 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I am a beginner. I have a Canon S3 IS. Is it good enough to start, for a photography enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlakelan Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 It offers manual, aperture priority, shutter priority, and program exposure modes, so the quick answer is yes. The slightly longer answer is that what you learn about how to use those modes will translate to all photography gear from an 8x10 view camera, to a DSLR. The main thing that the S3 doesn't give you is control of depth of field, and a very low noise sensor. For starting out, the best thing is to go take a bunch of pictures and read about photography, and then decide what you want to do that you can't do with your S3. Didn't you post this question just a few days ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
