Can anyone comment on the Canon S3?

This is a little more than I wanted to spend, but this one has 12x optical zoom. And I do love my zoom lens for concert shots and wildlife/bird shots.

Hi FA,
Can't comment on the model you have in mind. I took Troy's recomendation and treated myself as a birthday present to myself with the Canon EOS 5D. Man that is one brilliant camera. Still trying to figure it all out. Got it for a week now and lack of time and or ability are hindering my progress. But the pics I have taken are outstanding. But I have kept my Leica. Just couldn't bring myself to part. The Hasselblad is gone though.
So in a word or three- go for it.

Peace

Bernd
