The S3 IS is available from £324:

"The hybrid Canon PowerShot S3 IS was introduced at the Photo Marketing Association Trade Show in February 2006. It replaces last year’s S2, which succeeded the previous year’s S1. All of these models come with image stabilization as their headlining feature, but pack large zoom lenses as well. The Canon S3 has a 12x optical zoom lens to go with its 6.1-megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CCD and Digic II image processor. This model improves upon its predecessor with a new CCD that is designed to suppress noise and offers ISO sensitivities up to 800. It also comes with a 2-inch LCD screen, which includes the signature camcorder-style monitor that flips outward and rotates."
