Canon S3 or SD800?

I'm looking at getting a new camera and it is down to these two. I'm leaning towards the S3 because of the optical zoom and the macro options, but the SD800 is a nice pocket size. What is everyones opinions on these cameras?

Oh boy these two cameras are so different- I think you need to think about what is most important to you- the convenience of being able to pop the camera in your shirt pocket or the ability to zoom in on things that are far away and or get super close close-ups. Those are the big attractions to something like the S3-- it's that long lens. The flip/twist lcd is a great feature too, but the biggest differences in the two cameras are the lenses and portability.
