Canon Powershot S3 1S Digital Camera-bad memory
3 of 5 found this helpful I like the robustness of it. The features are also very good although it takes some time to learn how to use them if you are a novice in the use of digital photography as I am. In my opinion Canon is one of the best camera manufacturers around.I purchased this model because of the 12 optical zoom which is superb.I waited for over a year to buy this particular model because I wanted to learn as much as I could about other cameras before deciding on this one. I would suggest using rechargable batteries as the bgattery life is not very long. It is a pity that for a camera of this stature that the internal memory is not very large.(Please note Canon). The manual also takes a lot of reading before you can digest the information given. For a newcomer to digital photography like myself, it is well worth going through the applications of the camera with an expert. Having said that the pros outweigh the cons and I would recommend this camera highly.

Brass Vernier Caliper
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this so that I can measure sizes of beads and it suits my needs very well. It needed a little bit of lubrication before first use and could have done with the edges rounded slightly. Otherwise a very good for purpose item
