Kyocera Finecam S3 Review - IGN

Last Christmas I got my fianc¿e ¿ she's now my wife ¿ a Canon Digital Elph. I probably wouldn't have bought one for myself, but size was high on her list of priorities. All things considered, it's a great little camera. What it lacks in image quality and features it more than makes up for in portability and style.
