Canon PowerShot S95
The Canon PowerShot S95 updates the S90 , one of our favourite cameras of 2009. It occupies the same position at the top of Canon's compact range, theoretically slotting in under the G12.
Pros:
- Manual control and RAW shooting
- some fun auto features too
- great quality images
- plenty of control
Cons:
- Battery life a little short
- video is nothing to get excited about

"A DSLR in compact camera form."
As a serious amateur photographer, I have searched high and low for a compact camera that I can carry around with me when it is not convenient to lug around a great hulking DSLR. But i've never found anything that can compete with the image quality of my SLR - never found anything previously that...
Pros:
- the size
- wide angle lens
- east of use of manual modes
- image quality
Cons:
- an optical viewfinder
- the zoom could be improved upon

CANON PowerShot S95
If picture quality is your main only concern then buy a SLR. If you want something more portable, then a Compact is for you. Everthing is a balance between Size and Picture Quality In laymans terms there are 3 sizes of compacts - Shirt pocket, pants pocket(or belt pouch) and coat pocket/bag Are...
Pros:
- You wont get a better pocket sized camera
- Ideal for the enthuasist who does not want to lug their SLR about all the time
Cons:
- Short Battery life & Expensive if you are only going to shoot in AUTO

Canon PowerShot S95 review
The Canon Powershot S95 was released a little over a year after its predecessor, the Canon S90 , was announced. Building on a legacy of quality premium compact cameras, and with more and more entering the market, Canon have a lot to compete with nowadays, so does the Canon S95 still hold muster?

Canon PowerShot S95 review: Canon PowerShot S95
The PowerShot S95 is an excellent compact camera that will complement any photographer's arsenal, provided you don't need super-fast performance specs. There's an increasing demand for small cameras with manual controls, a demand fuelled by amateur photographers looking for a go-everywhere replacement for their digital SLR. Panasonic has had such a camera for a few years with the Lumix LX3, and its replacement the Lumix LX5, and last year Canon answered back with the PowerShot S90, which features manual controls and a wide, bright f/2 maximum aperture.
Pros:
- Compact form factor with manual control. Control ring gives a dSLR-like shooting experience. Excellent image quality for a camera of this class. RAW and JPEG shooting. Bright f/2.0 lens.
Cons:
- No dedicated video record button. Pop-up flash can be obstructed by fingers.

Canon S95
Buy one, I did, and I already have an S90 from last year which I use extensively. I love the S95's $30 PSC-900 deluxe leather case . My belt slips through it, and then the case holds the S95 on my waist. It's very well made and a custom fit for the S95, with a magnetic catch.

What's with the price, Amazon.ca?
Have had the loan of a S95 from a friend for a couple of months, and love it. Am now shopping for one of my own....but, wow! This just went up in price this past week on Amazon.ca's site, and is on sale this week for well over $100 less on Amazon.com's site. What gives?

A great camera for the price
I decided not too long ago that I was interested in purchasing a quality point and shoot so I wouldn't have to lug my DSLR gear around if I wanted to take photos while out and about. After some research (and finding a great pre-Xmas sale on Amazon) I pulled the trigger on the Canon S95.

Great Camera
Ordered this for my dad, and was easy for him to use while still having a lot of functionality (fireworks setting, changing focus, aperture, etc.)
Pros:
- -Shoots great sharp pictures for a point and shoot
- Control ring is great for manually adjusting settings
- Rechargeable Li-Ion battery
- Optical Image Stabilization (A must have
Cons:
- 1280x720 video is in 24fps, and not 30fps
- Not a real big con though, the 640x320 is in 30fps
- If you want great video then a camcorder would do the job better
