Canon PowerShot S95 review
It's hard not to like the Canon PowerShot S95. It feels solidly built and its manual features are easy to use for the most part. We love the focus tracking feature and the overall swiftness of the camera - it can take photos very quickly - and it has enough zoom range to be useful as a travel...

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

"The image results we got from the S95 simply don't compare to the sharp, crisp and altogether rich quality of shots we got from the Nikon P7000." Hey, don't leave us hanging! More detail on comparison to P7000 needed. Can P7000 handle extreme contrast modes as well as S95 HDR 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"

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.

Canon PowerShot S95 review
Canon's 10-megapixel S95 , upgrade to the S90, is aimed at photo enthusiasts who value the portability of a snapshot model but don't want to forego creative control. Notably, it includes a manually operated function ring that encircles the lens barrel.
Pros:
- Small form factor yet rugged semi-pro build
- adjustable function ring speeds operation
- intuitive to use
Cons:
- No handgrip
- costs almost as much as a budget DSLR
- no optical zoom if recording video
