I noticed some color fringing at the edges of a recent shot with a new-to-me S3 and S35mm lens. Not a big deal, I guess it is just to be expected. I usually don't pixel-peep, but it made me wonder if there is a simple post production method to clean it up if I should ever want to make enormous prints.

Pieter12,  If you are using Light Room there is a "eye dropper" tool to correct the fringing.  You will find it in the Develop module, Lens Correction panel under "Manual".  Very easy to fix.  r/ Mark

I believe the fringing originates in the sensor, especially one with small pixels like the S3.

No. That’s lateral chromatic aberration of the lens, has nothing to do with the sensor. The lens’ focal length varies slightly with the wavelengths (short = blue, medium = red, long = red) resulting in slightly different scale of the three R / G / B images. Luckily can be adjusted easily in post by the raw converted.

Interestingly enough, I don't notice any color fringing with the same lens on a 006, which led me (along with a bit of research) to conclude it was the sensor.
