Canon PowerShot S95 review Review
The Canon PowerShot S95 is a high-performance snapshot camera that doesn't claim to be an alternative to a dSLR, but costs almost as much. You're paying for a smaller form factor, solid feature set and equally solid build.
Pros:
- Increased functionality from a smaller form factor
- Rock-solid build
- Adjustable function ring speeds operation
- Intuitive usability
Cons:
- Pricey for a pocket compact
- Lack of anything approaching a handgrip
- Optical zoom disabled in movie mode

Pros:
- HDR mode - potentially a must-have feature
- but need to see actual results
Cons:
- Maybe inability to enlarge photos beyond 8 x 10"

In nature it is competition that drives the process of evolution. As species compete for limited resources they evolve over time to become better adapted to the needs of their environment. The same evolutionary process operates in the world of digital cameras.

- Almost unmatched degree of exposure control for a camera of this size

Cons:
- It's very easy to accidentally rotate the rear control wheel
- which would cause exposure problems depending on the mode being used
- $400 price tag may seem steep to some

Canon Powershot S95 Review
At first the Canon PowerShot S95 seems to be just another point-and-shooter: compact, all black and stylish. Then a quick glance over the specs and external controls leads you to think otherwise.
