The Canon S95 is not designed for a beginner, someone who wants photos of the kids and dog. At first, the controls are confusing, one is never sure where the function you want is located. There are 13 physical controls including two adjustment wheels and some combination settings.
Pros:
  • Excellent image quality
  • small size
  • array of functions
  • fast operation
Cons:
  • Need to read manual to get the hang of the camera
  • Expensive at regular price
