Product Description
MD) KYOCERA FINECAM S3 DIGITAL CAM
Amazon.com Product Description
Perhaps the most exciting feature of digital cameras is their ability to be miniaturized as the technology progresses. Toward that end, the Kyocera Finecam S3 can now claim (as of June 2001) to be the smallest 3-megapixel zoom camera. About the same size as Canon's immensely popular 2-megapixel digital Elph S100 and S110, the S3 likewise also sports a metallic body yet actually weighs less than the Elph cameras. In addition, it has more manual controls than the Canons (like manual white balance), plus it packs a higher pixel count to go with its 2x optical zoom. The extra megapixel of resolution means the camera churns out images at a whopping resolution of 2,048 x 1,536. Also included is the ability to capture 320 x 240 movies up to 15 seconds long. The S3 comes complete with everything you'll need including a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and international AC adapter/charger. The high-resolution stills and short movies are stored on either SD or MMC cards, and a 16 MB card is supplied. To transfer images, Kyocera provides a USB card reader, eliminating the hassles associated with built-in USB ports. Also included is the ArcSoft PhotoImpression 3.0 software.

 Good Camera with Some Drawbacks December 4, 2004
Brett Chapman (Milwaukee, WI USA)
I have had one of these camera for two years, now. After carrying it around on a daily (and I do mean daily) basis, and putting about 1,000 shots through it, I still like it.
Several reviews reference the battery life - it's short. This is the number one drawback. Get either an external battery pack or a spare battery. Note: Spare batteries can be found on eBay (sorry Amazon) for under $10 US before shipping.
Most reviews will site the rugged Stainless Steel case. The battery door, alas, is plastic. After the numerous battery changes I have performed, mine has finally broken. I am currently searching for a new door. If you are looking at purchasing a used model, carefully inspect the battery door for signs of stress cracks and fatigue.
While this camera is far from perfect, it is good for something to throw in a bag or a backpack and drag along when you want to take pictures, but do not want to lug around a camera bag.
 Worst camera ever? September 4, 2003

This is a terrible camera currently on my second one as first the camera would not stay on.
With the new one the battery life is measured in minutes. In dark settings its impossible , just takes ages to get a shot. Unacceptable delay in pressing shutter and image been taken. The movie mode is unreliable. I could go on.
What a waste of money
Geoff
Not worth the trouble... April 29, 2003

I bought this camera and loved it at first but after a couple of months it began to have problems. The first problem was that it just stopped charging the battery. I sent it in for service and it now charges but freezes up all of the time, I have sent it in three more times at my expense and the problem has not been corrected. The last time they blamed it on the battery but I have two and even with a fully charged battery the problem persists. I for one will never buy another Kyocera product and would recommend that you consider a different brand also.
Terrible ! Buy a Canon Ixus January 14, 2003

I have found that in dark clubs and bars it is impossible to get a picture that is not blurred. Should you choose to have a picture any sharper than Normal you will be waiting between 30 secs and 1 and half minutes between taking photos while this thing tries to write to the memory card and the video has no sound. I'm taking mine back as I only bought it because was supposed to be the same as a Canon Ixus but with more megapixels. But as I have to wait over a minute to see my mega pixeled images whats the point !
Value for Money August 27, 2002
Size is the major advantage of this camera but it has 3 major problems: 1) battery is not powerful enough that it cannot last for a whole day; a spare battery is a MUST; 2) Flash photo is very bad (& drains your already weak battery) making over-exposure unavoidable; 3) Auto focus is slow, particularly in dim environment. Other than these, this small camera is packed with a lot of useful functions such as ISO adjustment, manual white balance, manual focus, aperature adjustment and the even digital zoom is very good (compared to other digital cameras whose digital zoom are nearly useless given their poor quality). Finally, in HK, this camera is sold at around US$385, making it one of the cheapest 3m pixel digital cameras in the market.
