While it certainly does not fit in your shirt pocket, the S3 IS is not all that much larger than the "A" series, but if size is your overriding deciding factor, then the A710 IS looks like a good choice. Both have manual settings capability, and I don't think the S3 has a lot more, other than 12X zoom. A couple of other considerations in favor of the A710 are that it only uses two batteries, instead of four, and it has a "built in" lens cap--very convenient! Of course, at this point, I might go for the S5 IS...

hmmmm... Thats a tough decision. If you are looking for versatility, go with the S3 IS. You have the 12x zoom and a macro mode that actually focuses close enough that the lens is touching your subject (an amazing feat). It also has the best video mode in the market (if you're into that kind of thing). The A710, on the other hand, is much better for snapshots and real basic functions. As far as perfomance goes, from what I've seen, the S3 has better color accuracy and is faster at focusing than the A710.

I would suggest the S3is, if the size isn't too large. (But the S5 IS, is coming out really soon... I would wait, just to make sure you don't regret your purchase.)
