Review: Canon PowerShot S100
A couple of years ago, I wrote just about the most rave review of my career - a love letter to Canon's then-new S90 point-and-shoot camera. What did I say? "The S90 is the best compact camera I've ever used.
Pros:
- All the stuff that made its predecessors great, with some nice new features like GPS and full HD video
- CMOS sensor uses tech from Canon's DSLR line
Cons:
- More camera than many need
- and perhaps less than pros would demand. Dedicated movie button on backside eliminates one photo control

Canon Powershot S100 Review: One Hell Of A Camera, One Hell Of A Flaw
The Canon S100 - like its S-series predecessors - is an almost perfect compact camera with some drawbacks stemming from its pocket-friendly size. There's a lot of crazy tech on board. The Canon gods have outdone themselves; but that outdoing might be the camera's undoing .

Canon PowerShot S100
The Canon PowerShot S100 ($429.99 direct) is the follow-up to the popular S95 ($399.99, 4 stars), a camera that we liked enough to award our Editors' Choice. Although it's priced slightly higher, the 12-megapixel S100 improves on the S95 in many ways.
Pros:
- Sharp, fast lens
- Very good low-light performance
- Fast recycle time
- Raw shooting support
Cons:
- Pricey
- LCD is not best in class
- No hot shoe

Canon PowerShot S100
The Canon PowerShot S100 is a generally great little camera for advanced shooters who don't mind slowing down a bit from a dSLR.
Pros:
- A great little camera with advanced features
- the Canon PowerShot S100 builds on the strengths of its excellent predecessor
Cons:
- As a trade-off for extending the zoom range to 5x the lens' aperture narrows very quickly as you zoom out
- And there's no improvement over the S95's so-so performance, despite the price increase

Canon PowerShot S100 REVIEW – The Holy Grail of Compacts
Every once in a blue moon a digital camera saunters across my desk that changes the game at multiple levels, and the Canon PowerShot S100 ($429.99) is one of those cameras.

Canon PowerShot S100 review
There are now two cameras at the top of the point-and-shoot market, and Canon makes both of them. The S95 gets a slight edge in terms of image quality, but the S100's wider lens, faster performance, and video recording are all solid tweaks on top of the S95.
Pros:
- Fantastic image quality
- Fast performance
- Tons of manual controls
- Upgraded internals from the S95
Cons:
- Expensive
- Images are slightly inferior to the S95
- Relatively short battery life
