Home > Consumer Reviews > Kyocera S3 Digital Camera Kit Silver

This is an excellent little camera well worth the money I paid for it. I thought long and hard about what digital camera I would buy. This was recommended to me by someone I can only assume likes me. The resolution of the pictures is excellent. It is extremely easy to use, but is small enough that I can fit it into a handbag or pocket. The 16MB SD card supplied with the camera is a little small, but that is something I suspected would be the case as it is a 5 mega pixel camera so I bought another SD card when I bought the camera. The battery doesn't last very long , but that is fairly normal for digital cameras from what I understand. Downloading the pictures to a PC is very easy, particularly if you have Windows XP. There are several different formats that pictures can be taken in including one for close up making it easy to take a good picture. There are also options for black & white and sepia images. You certainly get a lot of camera for your money. I would recommend this to anyone.

A small well built camera that feels solid in your hands. The Kyocera S3 has simple controls that let you easily view stored pictures and control the usual features. The included 16MB multimedia memory card really isn't big enough for more than 15 pictures on the highest quality settings. The camera also takes SD memory cards, which is a great bonus point, as SD cards save a lot of money over multimedia cards. There aren't many 'cons' about this neat camera, apart from:
Short battery life - roughly 40 minutes with the screen on,
Short optical zoom - only 2.0x optical zoom.
Other than that, the S3 is a great, easy to use and high quality small camera.

The box includes 16MB card, carry case, USB cable, USB card reader, Arcsoft Photo Impression, mains cable and video cable (for tv connection).
