Too late I guess, but anyway..
Ive done the research, and IMO, the S3 is the best NON SLR Digital cameras out there. Due to the Canon imaging system(focus,exposure) the huge zoom, image stabalization and the cool pivoting LCD screen on the back. Should allow you to take better ass shots of yourself.
And 6 mp is enough for great image quality, and you won't notice it isn't more.
It's the one I will likely get when I finally make up my mind to not go DSLR until the cost comes down a bit more...
