I am having canon A310 and learning photography using it, and now
planing to get other new one. I have seen Canon PowerShot S3 IS and
S5, now confuse between these two.


You can read about the S3 and S5 he

One thing you should know about these cameras is that you can fit an adapter
onto which you can put a wide range of filters and extenders (e.g. circular
polarizer, UV filter, wide-angle extender, teleconverter, close-up lens).
They resemble a fixed-lens DSLR in many ways. There's also a firmware hack
you can load which gives you the ability to shoot RAW amongst many other
things. You can read about it he http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK
