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

Pretty bad quality camera...
As a faithful Canon User i am disappointed!!! I like the design of the camera and judging from the predecessors S90 and S95 I hoped that the S100 will be a pinacle of point and shoot cameras, but I was wrong...
Pros:
- Good list of specs if it works
- HD videos
- The camera feels sturdy and i like magnesium alloy casing feels good to the touch
Cons:
- Severe Quality issues
- Battery life
- Pretty slow to start to focus to zoom
- The images are not sharp
- autofocus sometimes just doesn't do its job
- No optical viewfinder.....

Canon PowerShot S100
This little black offering fits into the smallest pocket but can take HD video as well as rather nice still images. Even if you have a larger and more powerful unit, this can be ready even before that comes from the bag.

Canon PowerShot S100
There's not much the S100 can't do. We love the picture quality, the small size, that front lens ring with customisable shooting modes and the GPS technology. FlexiZone AF and the new grip also right the S95's wrongs.
Pros:
- Great pictures
- biggest zoom in category
- more control than S95
Cons:
- Poor close-focusing
- very expensive
- no hotshoe for viewfinder or extra flash
- 200 shots per charge

Canon S100 review
With a growing demand for ever-smaller, more sophisticated digital cameras, camera manufacturers have to push the boundaries to vie for consumers' hard-earned cash. When it comes to developing high-end compacts, Canon usually succeeds in coming up trumps.

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
