Marriard:S3 is now fully reviewed at Dpreview.com.
It looks impressive in terms of image quality (though I will need to see a lot more reviews.)
It is shipping Dec 1st - several places are taking pre-orders. It is $2499.95 which is at least $500 more than it probably should be. All images appear to show that the camera is significantly bigger than the S2 (it includes a bottom grip) and everyone I have talked to has said that it feels more sturdy and larger. Which is bad news as it means it will need a new housing. Menu and directional buttons have moved as well. LCD is supposed to also be much improved as well.
I'll wait to see if the price drops after christmas. I will likely be willing to spend $2k on the camera if the dynamic color range is as good as the first few images have shown

I will wait until someone takes one down and points it at the sun! that will be the real underwater test! if it passes, time to sell more film gear!
