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
