Pros:
- Good stills and video
- RAW/JPEG options
- Compact and lightweight
Cons:
- Modest battery life
- Pricey
- Slightly soft default images

Canon PowerShot S100 Digital Camera Review
There's a lot to love about the S100, and as a highly functional compact it checks almost all the right boxes. Images are sharp and rich with detail in both good and bad lighting conditions, and the 24-120m lens is versatile enough to not feel limiting.
