Just a bit of clarification. IS will reduce camera shake, but it will not help with motion blur. In other words, it will not stop action. It will allow you to shoot at a lower iso or hand hold at a given focal length for a longer period of time, which is always helpful.

Both S3 & S5 have flippable LCD screen, which I have had issues with in past.
I had Powershot G2 and I guess, that's the first camera they had put this type
of screen mechanism. After some time of use, the wires connecting the LCD
with the camera body through the swivel got cut and came out of the soldered
connection. If I open the LCD screen, the camera stopped working showing an
error "E24". Worked okay through the viewfinder. It had happened a week after
the warranty period and Canon said that they will fix it for $148. Worst part
was that there was no color coding of the cables going from one component
to another, else I could have fixed it myself.
I still wonder and as they show it in the movies, all the bombs have color coded
wiring from timer to fuse, etc., of course, if someone wants to diffuse it.
Pros: Flippable screen is very helpful in taking pictures when you want to hold
the camera above or below your head level. Just adjust the screen and either
stretch your arms up to take the picture.
BTW, have you looked at the Nikon Coolpix series. I liked their point-n-shoot
cameras.

I just put in an order on a new . Not the greatest deal but I'm paying for "new cool". I chose this because in addition to all the nice stuff that generally comes with Canon, this model has wide angle ability and a nice 3" LCD screen on the back.

Haven't read the forums in a couple of days but the Canon A720IS is fairly new so there aren't that many reviews around yet. I did see though. It references the which is a great camera. The 6x optical zoom is a great feature. Second link is the better and more reputable digital camera review site. is some forum talk about it. Not much around for something only released 2 months or so ago.
