H2 vs. Canon S3
I really don't want to return the S3 and go back to the H2, but someone please help.... I've already had the Sony H2, and returned it to get the Canon S3, but now I'm unsure....

Canon Digital Photography Forums - Canon S3 IS vs. Sony DSC-H2
I own the A520 and the S2 and can tell you that you'll find the S3 performs better in every way including performance above ISO 200.... Not perfect but the S3 should be better than the S2....

But the H2 is a good camera too, with a bit more purple fringing.... I would choose the Canon for its SD memory, its swivel display, its panorama sequence mode and better colours (in my opinion)....
