So far I like this camera. I haven't had much of a chance to use it, to be honest, because i really prefer using my Rebel I even take it into the grocery store. I get funny looks, but I'm used to it. Those are the times I should be using the S100. I find the manual to be very clear for the purpose of setting up the camera, with large pictures. But beyond that, you can basically chuck it. You can read more with a .pdf manual on screen, but I find those very inconvenient if you just want to curl up and read about how to operate your camera. We spend too much time in front of the screen as it is..I've never used one of Canon's Powershot's before as some of the other reviewers have, so I don't have anything to compare it with in the small Canon family. It's not as intuitive for me as it is for others. I keep getting my left hand in the way of the flash and then the camera instructs me to turn the camera off and on again. So it feels uncomfortable in my hands. I guess my other "pocket cameras", a SONY and a Nikon had quite different grips and I'll have to adjust. This camera is far superior to the models i had in those brands.The battery life was surprisingly short. I had purchased (and had charged) a second generic battery. I would recommend that. Watch out for the case they will try to sell you. i will write a review for that.I had an intial problem figuring out the software. Simply,how to upload the pictures to the computer. I had to call Canon about problems with uploading pictures from my SLR and he helped me with the Powershot because i was so confused. Don't let that stop you though. It might have been me and if it wasn't, Canon tech support is great.The camera was recommended to me by another photographer in the UK who wishes he still had his.. He said it was the best pocket camera he ever had. He's a great photographer and we shoot and post together on the same international site, so I trusted his judgement.Bottom line is, so far, so good. I really like the quality of the photographs I've taken to date. Not much glare where I might have expected to get some. Crisp color. Sharp images. All basically on auto. The zoom I find a little hard to master.Maybe I'll come back and amend this review after I learn how to use all the setting and i'll be able to tell you how easy/difficult they were to learn.

At the time of this writing the S100 was just released. I recently bought the S95 on the recommendation of a friend who is an avid photographer, thinking the S100 would not be released until much later. The S100 just started showing up in stores so I bought it as well, intending to return one of the cameras. So I had the opportunity to compare them both!To preface, I'm an intermediate level photographer, and it is just a hobby. I do own a DSLR, but it is one of the lower end models in the DSLR world. Still, I have become comfortable with manual adjustments and own a few lenses for it. However the majority of my pictures end up being taken with the camera most conveniently at hand (iPhone), and in this case I was looking for something that could offer a big step up in image quality without having to carry the larger DSLR.Both the S95 and S100 are excellent cameras. However, there are key points about the S100 that give it the advantage. The rubber grips on the front and back are excellent. The flash pops up on both the S95/S100 where you would naturally place your left hand. Having the rubber grips for your right hand allows this to be a one-handed camera, or at least allows better support with the right hand since the left hand may not be able to rest where it feels most natural, which for me tends to involve a finger resting on top of the flash. This is an issue for both the S95 and S100, but the S100 mitigates it by having better support for the right hand - the rubber grips and better shutter button position. More on that next.The shutter button is larger on the S100. This feels more natural and easier to access. Also the position of the shutter button has been moved more towards the right edge. It may seem small but this is a big improvement. If you have shorter fingers you may find it more difficult to naturally reach the shutter button on the S95 than the S100. The shutter button on the S95 is just a bit too far from the right edge for my taste, making it a bit difficult to reach when bending your shooting finger to press the button. Canon certainly recognized that as evidenced by the new location of the shutter button on the S100.The buttons on the rear of the camera have been changed, including having a single-press button to start shooting a video. This is great since most videos for me involve catching fleeting moments of my kids in action. On the S95 you need to turn the mode selection dial to movie mode first. Regarding video, the S100 also allows zooming in/out while shooting a movie. As I understand it, the S95 did not allow that.The processor has been upgraded and the S100 does feel slightly faster because of it when navigating through menus.I took comparison shots in my home using both cameras and I found a slight advantage for the S100 in terms of image quality. There was a bit more detail using the S100, but honestly it wasn't significant. Still, in my head-to-head tests the S100 was the winner.For me the main difference is in terms of the user interface. The button layout is better on the S100 and the addition of the grips is helpful. This camera feels easier to shoot because of this. This may seem small, but all of these button layout changes and grip additions add up to a camera that overall is more convenient for me to shoot. That's why I chose the S100. This is, after all, my camera of convenience.The only downside I found for the S100 is that it is priced higher than the S95.If you are on a budget and tried the S95 and like how it feels, then get it. You will be very happy with it! The pictures were very similar in quality between the two, and the S95 is a high quality camera. Everything about it mechanically boasts of durability and quality. But if the price difference is not an issue then I recommend the S100.

I will update this on an on-going basis.I may have ordered this item too quickly. Future buyers may want to do a little more research than I.I read many glowing reviews,studied comparisions between cameras, technical specs and etc from a variety of websites...some seemed biased, some did not; but then noticed the internet notice from July 2, 2012 about a recall for "lens error". Googling that phrase I found many, many dissapointed consumers of this model and cannon in general, specifically for their rough treatment of dissapointed customers.I gave it 3 stars based on the many glowing reviews, but less than 5 because of the very many disspointed and angry consumers posting about the quality. I will keep this updated, but to any future consumers; be sure to do your homework before deciding.Oct 1OK...I said I would update my original post in time and I am doing so:I received the camera in good condition and specified amount of time. I've been using it nearly daily for 3 weeks.Good:The camera certainly can do alot of things...there are many features that should satisfy both the most basic shutterbug and keep the pros pretty happy too ( like RAW file and fairly advanced controls.The camera has some pretty cool features like the ability to capture only one color and turn all the other colors grey scale (think of capturing all the orange pumkins in a pumpkin patch and leaving everything else in gray scale). It can do slow motion video at 240 fps. There are other cameras on the market for slightly more than can now capture at 1,000 fps.There is an adjustment ring on the front of the camera that allows additional control beyond the usual thumbwheel/rocker button on the back of most P&Scameras and it is user setable.The not so goodPer the manufacture, the camera should not be exposed to temperatures above 104 F. There are many places in the US that get above that every day in the summer, so I guess photo of the AZ desert are out.The battery life states 200 shots or 40 mins of video. I found it to be less than that ( amout 1/2 ) in the course of a day with no flash and one or two videos. I purchased an extra battery ( ~$30)Concerned about the dreaded "lens error" issue I wrote Cannon to see if they have made a permanent fix. I never heard back. From a quality/customer service standpoint this is unacceptable. ( I'm a quality manager)Would I recomend this camera?Not for this price. It can do alot of things, is intuitive to use; but based on the "lens error" reports widely on the web, the short battery life, the lack of response from Cannon customer service and most troubling the 104F max temperature limit. I think P&S cameras need to be a little more ruged than that.

I have been using a DSLR camera for the last few years, and finally decided that it was time to get an additional smaller camera to carry around with me. My review will compare some aspects of the S100 with my DSLR (a Nikon D90) which may be useful for others who are considering the addition of a small pocketable camera.I have used the S100 for a few days now and am generally very impressed with the quality of the images, and the level of customization possible. The camera offers a myriad of functions for all levels of users, giving me a level of control that is fairly close to that I'm used to from my DSLR. The lens is also excellent - far better than that of older point-and-shoot cameras (it rivals in sharpness [but doesn't quite reach] the quality of the kit lens that came with my DSLR). The level of noise in the images and that of the the in-camera noise reduction algorithms, are very acceptable, and reach the level of quality that is provided by my 3-year old APS-C sensor DSLR. The biggest advantage of this camera for me is, of course, the tiny size of the camera, compared to the DSLR. While my other camera has a much better display, the screen of the S100 is just fine for normal use. I also like the availability of an online luminance histogram (projected on top of the image). The construction of the camera is very good - it seems mechanically solidly built, with the only possible exception of the covers that hide the battery and USB/HDMI connectors.I don't particularly care for the many scene and automatic modes. These are definitely for other types of users, and it is a strength of this camera that the modes can simply be ignored if one doesn't want to use them. Having said this, though, the HQ burst mode, the multi-shot night mode and the HDR mode will probably be interesting to me in the future (I have tried them, and found them to work nicely). Another big attraction for me is the possibility to use RAW images from this camera - custom-adjusted RAW images can be much better than the automatically generated JPG images. While there have been negative comments about the inclusion of GPS capabilities in this camera, I find this feature very good, and, again, it can be disabled if one doesn't want to use it.Some aspects of my experience are not as positive. Compared to the handling of the DSLR, the ergonomics of this camera are poor (as they are for most compact point-and-shoot cameras). Many of the more interesting functions which have dedicated buttons on most DSLRs are only reachable through menus on the S100. Also, focusing is a very slow process, compared to the much faster DSLR phase detect AF systems. Finally, the battery life is reportedly short, but I think that I will be able to live with this quite easily. The battery is small, so that it should not be a problem to put an extra battery in one's pocket. The software that is supplied with the camera is ok, but clearly not well integrated. Canon could have done much better on this front, providing a solid piece of software rather than several that don't really integrate well with each other. Unfortunately, I had problems installing the supplied suite of programs on one of my computers for reasons that are still not quite clear to me (it worked fine on another).I give this camera five stars despite the few negative points, because most of the camera issues (with the exception of the software issue) result from the fact that the camera is optimized to be small - the issues mentioned above are basically unavoidable. I am not commenting on the video capabilities of the camera, because I have not used it yet, and will probably not use it much in the future.Overall, this is a great little camera that I will use a lot.

Although this is my first camera I've ever purchased, I'll admit I was hesitant at first because of the infamous "lens error" issue. Well my silver Canon S100 model number starts with 45 and even after using this several times no error messages or issues. Spoke to Canon about this and they are aware of this issue, but factory sealed cameras with model numbers (the first two digits) from 45 and above should have no issues with the lens error issue.The Canon Powershot S100 camera is made in Japan but only the camera, compact disk, paperwork and cell in the lithium ion battery are actually made in Japan. The charger for this Canon camera, the packaging of the battery and strap are made in China. Not that is anything wrong with that, but I imagine there is some that are interested in that fact. Another fact I'd like to point out is the milliampere-hour otherwise known as (mAh) is actually 1050, not what Amazon currently lists this as 1150. That is a slight difference, especially to the person who buys this camera.The picture quality of this camera is exceptional and I take pictures with products with text and sometimes that text is rather small, yet I am still able to take a high quality picture of that item. Some of these pictures were taken in broad daylight and the quality of the picture was still top notch.For those who are interested, should your charger ever want to repair or otherwise have a interest, to remove the Torx tamper resistant screw, you'll need a Torx tamper resistant drive size seven screwdriver bit or tamper resistant Torx wrench. Once that screw is removed, all you need a spudger to remove the casing and the internal parts should be accessible. As a disclaimer, I DON'T suggest this be done unless you absolutely know what your doing and even then I don't recommend doing this at all as this could void your warranty.Overall, this is great camera and if a simple to use, well built and designed camera that is also 12.1 megapixels this is the camera for you.One final note I'd like to add, to store my Canon Powershot S100 camera, I personally use the Leatherworks brand USA made suede leather pouch model number SLMPD. I am neither advertising nor recommending this item for storage, but if your looking for a alternative means of storage here you go.

I did tons of research before making this purchase and I am very happy with this camera. Many hobby and semi-professional photographers will say that you can't rely on any point and shoot to take great indoor photos of people, so I was afraid I would have to shell out for a DSLR, but decided to give this one a try before pouring a few hundred more dollars into a camera that I would be loathe to carry around. I am thrilled! In addition to wanting a small camera, I also wanted to be able to take indoor photos with no flash, because I hate how flash looks. This camera does that! Now, if my three year old is racing around in the house at night, I won't be able to capture that without flash, but taking "normal" kid photos where they are moving around, but not flying by is possible without flash with this camera (even in completely artificial light). It also has a lot of different "effect" settings that I usually would not bother with, but my husband has found a few that I really like. One unusual thing that this camera has that seems like a waste to me is the barrel zoom. There is no real barrel with this type of camera, so it's awkward to use and it will be wasted on most people since anyone who has used a point and shoot before is used to using the toggle lever to zoom (which this camera also has). It seems like a waste of weight and expense to have this redundant feature, but maybe some people like it. The other con, IMO, is if you use flash, it pops up right where you would be holding the camera. Fortunately, the mechanism seems really strong, so hopefully it won't break even after repeated deployment with one's finger firmly planted on top of it!Like some other reviewers, the first camera I was sent had the "Lens read error," which did not seem to affect the function of the camera. I sent it back and the replacement hasn't had any problems.Overall, I am thrilled with this camera and I don't think I could find another point and shoot that would take such clear indoor photos.

As noted by another reviewer, the S100 I ordered on 11/23/2012 had a higher serial number than those listed on Canon's website. Google "canon s100 lens error serial number" to see Canon's acknowledgement of the lens error problem.I did enable the GPS feature (but not the GPS logger) and my fully charged battery died overnight. I will repeat this experiment and update this review. The GPS tagging feature was one of the biggest selling points for me and I really don't want to worry about having to remember to turn this feature on and off.Initial impressions: The camera is very solidly built, the controls knobs are deeply knurled (making them easy to turn) and have very solid detents. I find that the feature ring on around the lens makes it somewhat difficult to slip the camera into my pocket. It is about 3/16" higher than the surrounding camera body. The lens cover is flush with the top of the feature ring, my guess is Canon wanted to keep the body as thin as possible but needed a little more depth to fit the lens assembly. The first time that the flash popped up, my finger was pushed out of the way. My previous camera had a fixed flash, not a pop up style. I've since adjusted my grip on the camera to keep my left index finger behind the flash pop up area. The camera body above the top left corner of the LCD screen is not smooth and rounded, rather it has a small "step" which makes it a good gripping point. The camera body has a textured paint finish (almost like fine sandpaper) that also helps in gripping the camera. I wish the top dial and exposure button positions were swapped, I think this would make one-handed shooting a little more stable and secure. The way these controls are positioned now, the camera seems to rotate slightly when pressing down on the exposure button. If these controls were swapped, your right hand could more move under the camera and pressing the exposure button would oppose your hand versus create a rotational force. Again, these are my initial impressions, I will update this review after I have a chance to get to know my S100 better. I did have a blast shooting slow motion video of dripping milk!

So. I used to have a Canon S95, until my fat grubby fingers accidentally pressed on the Power button whilst it was in its camera case, so the lens extended and got jammed. They wanted to charge me 200 bucks for a replacement and I was like no0o0o0o0o0oo.ANYWAYS. having had a GREAT experience with the Canon S95 (people shots look absolutely brilliant, low light shots are AMAZING, shots of scenery with rich colors come out looking vibrant and rich. In short ,the S95 was almost a perfect camera), I the S100 was the first camera I looked at and bought.So. Whuddup with the S100?The good:1) GREAT idea to add on the thumb AND finger grip2) Low light shots just look absolutely amazing still. I love it. rich color, good white balance. all's good.3) People shots still look great on auto mode, even in low light4) noise is pretty damn low, until you crank it up to some obscene level, but hey this is a small cam.5) THE SIZE. Honestly, there is just no other camera out there with this size to performance ration. except for the RX100. But that beast is a good 2.5x the price of a s100.The Bad:1) Battery life is uhhhhh okayyy. Granted I don't really give half a hoot about the GPS function so I switched it off (THAT, saves an insane amount of battery btw), But I took approx 260 - 280 pictures, all with Flash (slow synchro). That's decent. In any case if you need more juice, this right here looks like an amazing deal: http://www.amazon.com/Wasabi-Power-Battery-Charger-PowerShot/dp/B0049XEE88/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1356447979&sr=8-2&keywords=canon+s100+battery)2) The flash is still positioned in that ANNOYING position. It's just awkward to have that shit pop up suddenly and push your fingers away3) I don't know why, but the focusing in low light is INSANELY slow, even compared to the S95. WHY IS THAT SO o_OOverall? well I love the camera. I really do. It serves my needs perfectly fine, just taking pictures especially in low lighting conditions. If i could change one thing, it would be the slow low-light focusing. ohwell.

This was intended for a gift for a young relative of mine, I decided to take it for a test drive before gifting.Battery Life: I was disappointed in the battery life of the S100, even with the GPS turned off. Maybe it was the "on-board help" that was to blame, but I had taken only 75 photos and one short 2 minute video before I got the initial low battery signal. I think the low battery signal showed up a little premature, as I was able to shoot 30 to 40 more photos before it needed a recharge (I still consider this bad since it's rated for 200 photos).Build Quality: My camera came from Japan. Loved the matte black finish, didn't feel like it would slip out of my hands.Photo Quality: Good. Bright colors, still wasn't as sharp as photos from my Sony camera Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V 18.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD (Black) (2012 Model).Video Quality: Very disappointed. Colors seemed dull, video stuttered when zooming, the stuttering was not due to my PC, as it has plenty of processor speed. I've seen better video shot by my 5 year old Panasonic DMC-TZ4 and it isn't even HD.User Interface: Typical Canon, settings on the left side and across the bottom. To most people it seems uncomplicated; to me, I started out with Panasonic and Fuji cameras and those are easier. Maybe it's just what you start out with always seems the easiest. At least this has on-screen help. Has full manual control so you can grow into this camera if you know nothing starting out.You need a spare battery or two for this camera; this camera was intended as a gift for a 12 year old relative of mine--I ended up returning it as I didn't want to spend even more money for batteries, as well as the video quality, since a 12 year old would probably use it for video more than anything else.

Note: This review is NOT regarding the operation of the camera, but of the experience of buying the camera as a gift.Three of us went in together to purchase this camera from Amazon as a gift, along with an extra battery and carrying case. This gift for my nephew-in-law was an easy choice, as he picked it out himself. His mother provided the details and information on where it could be purchased at one of the big box stores.Out of habit, I looked it up and found that Amazon's price was about $40 less. Another bonus, being a Prime Member, was that I could have it delivered right to my home for free and could save taking a three hour round trip into the city. I let the other two folks going in on the gift know that I would handle getting it and would collect from them later.When the box arrived, I opened it and did a quick look-see to make sure all three items were enclosed. They were, so I removed the receipt, resealed the delivery box and wrapped it up.I wish that I would have taken a longer look when I reviewed the delivery box's contents. It was not until later that it came to my attention that the camera was previously returned, maybe even refurbished.When my nephew jokingly asked if he was going to find any embarrassing pictures on the camera, I said I did not know what he meant. He pointed out that the cardboard tab that secures the cover was torn and that the box was unsealed. Someone else had obviously been the first to open the box. When the camera was removed, multiple fingerprints were visible on the LCD screen. The protective plastic film we have all become used to seeing on the glass parts of new electronics was missing.I suggested immediately returning the camera and getting it from somewhere else. The recipient was just too excited to do so. He wanted to use his gift immediately and has since reported that he "loves" his camera. He has been posting a lot of beautiful pictures on-line, but I am not happy.If I had purchased the camera for myself, I probably would not have been as disappointed. Right or wrong, I hate the thought of giving a gift that could be perceived as being used. The price paid was for a brand new item in brand new packaging. That is not what was sent me.People reading this will either get what the big deal is, or they won't. Either way, I suggest potential purchasers consider whether this might be something to buy in person, rather than on-line.

I'll start this review by saying that I have years shooting pictures professionally and I've always used Canon products. With that being said I have tried other major brand point and shoots but I always seem to come back to Canon. Professionally I shoot with the Canon 5D Mark II and 7D but I find that when I travel or shoot my kids I often just want something small and portable. Most recently I've used the G11 and G9 for that reason.One of the features I look for is a lot of manual control - while it's not necessary of course you can usually get the results that your eye sees if you understand how your camera sees and interprets light. If you're serious about photography I recommend taking the time to learn this - here's a perfect, easy to understand reference if you're interested: Understanding Exposure, 3rd Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any CameraThe advanced features such as manual controls and RAW exposures are the primary reason that this camera costs what it does. If you're not interested in any of that than you may not need this camera - the digital elph series may be a better bet for you. On the other hand if you want that level of control and size is the primary factor then this camera is perfect.Will you get the same results from a S100 that you would from a larger digital SLR? Simply put, no. You're always going to face issues with noise because of the smaller sensor size and you're always stuck with the same lens. Battery life is another issue - you'll want to pack some extras for a full day of shooting.While you're stuck with the built in lens it's a pretty decent quality one offering a nice wide 24mm view and a bright 2.0 aperture. It also features built in optical image stabilization which is valuable. The sensor in this camera is equivalent to the one used in the G11/G12 series (bigger than other similar sized point and shoots) which still gives you excellent image quality. Noise can be mitigated with some post-processing - Canon includes some nice software with this camera to get you started. One touch HD video recording is really convenient and with a 7 month old I find myself using that much more frequently than our video camera. What I like best is that I can stick this camera right in my jeans pocket. It's super small and very portable. When we're lugging the baby and his gear I'm grateful that this doesn't add any weight. And let's face it - while I prefer the way pictures look when I take them with my 5D Mark II, if the cameras not with me what's the point?Overall I'm very happy with this camera. I know there's some folks disappointed going from the S95 to this S100. If you have an S95 and you're happy you may not need to upgrade. If you're in the market for a new model I would say this is one of the best out there. I find myself taking it everywhere and finding new photo opportunities that I would have missed without it. And if you need a case to go with it here's the one I bought - it's a perfect fit: Lowepro Santiago 20 Camera Case (Black).

Short and sweet for the first part... the camera is amazing, just be prepared to read the manual, otherwise you're not going to understand the majority of the camera and then it's a waste of money. It does chew through batteries, especially if you are using the GPS functionality. Do yourself a favor and buy 2 extra batteries (and make sure that they are not only Canon, but they are Canon batteries made in Japan for the US market. There are a lot of grey market Canon batteries out there in genuine Canon packaging, but when you get them, most of the printing on the battery is in Chinese, not English, and the Chinese batteries hold much less of a charge than the "real" batteries. I got one of these through a 3rd-party Amazon affiliate and the product description said nothing of this other than it was a genuine Canon battery-- very misleading product description which I've brought to Amazon's attention, but nothing has been done about it so far.The second part is not so sweet. The camera I purchased was sold by Amazon and shipped my Amazon. The first camera came with so little packing in the box that they might as well have put no packaging in the box. Amazon said they would exchange the camera, and I asked that the packaging be correctly done. In fact, I called 3 more time to express the need for correct packaging. When I got the replacement camera, it was packed exactly the same way as the first camera. A call center supervisor said there was nothing he could do about this and I should leave more packaging feedback which was ignored the first time around. I am contacting someone in the corporate office to escalate this issue from the top down. I can't afford to do my own exhaustive testing on the camera to ensure that it is not damaged (the first camera took 2 weeks before I heard a grinding sound from the lens).I am normally a strong supporter of Amazon who has been buying from them for at least 15 years, but I am very annoyed and frustrated at the way they have (or have not) handled this problem and they refuse to escalate the problem beyond the first level supervisor in the order/customer support center. I have now burned through more than $900 worth of cameras that I am returning to them, and they can't sell these as new, so they have to be eating the cost. In fact, the supervisor refused to send out another camera to me because "it is likely to have the same packaging issue". Okay, they won't send any more to me, but if someone else purchases this camera, they will have the same packaging issues as I had. I can't believe that Amazon considers this to be an acceptable business model! It's also a rare instance where they are not focused on customer satisfaction. I don't care how far up the management chain I'll have to go, but I'm not going to let this drop and I have the names of the people I spoke to that are dropping the ball so badly.

Let me start by saying that this camera has one of the nicest designsI have seen/used on a compact camera. The size is perfect as is themenu layout and the user interface. The manual controls are great andfor the most part logical and intuitive.After using the camera for almost two weeks I got some mixed thoughts.The camera is a total joy to use and makes you wanna use the manualmodes and try different things and get creative because it makes itreally easy. Accessing things like ISO, WB, exposure compensation,bracketing, etc. is really simple and you can customize it to make itwork almost the way you want. Very cool indeed!The problem I had with the camera has more to do with image qualitythan anything else (both photos and video). I decided to give this onea try mostly based on the positive reviews and popularity of both theS95 and S90, hoping it would be a camera that would cover most ofmy photographic needs (at least on paper it was).I tested this camera along with a Sony HX9V. Have beentaking the same pictures with both, under the same light conditionsand with the closest camera settings I can use. The S100 beats theSony in most low light situations for obvious reasons (2.0 vs 3.5 maxaperture). But in almost every other situation: moderate, bright,overcast, indoors, landscape... the HX9V produces better results outthe camera without further processing. I wasn't impressed with the results of the S100 at ISOs over 400 and was especially disappointed with the auto WB results.Focusing, although fast and accurate when there's enough light available, israther slow in low light, and in many cases not able to lockfocus.The images produced by the S100 were not vibrant, sharp and detailedenough for me. They were a little on the noisy side at high ISO andthe color rendition was a little inaccurate, I'm guessing due to poor AutoWhite Balance.Video looks really nice and clear as long as you don't move thecamera. I mean, image stabilization works really well, don't take me wrong; the problem iswhen you start panning right and left, up/down that it looks reallybad. The frame rate of this camera I believe is 24fps so it's not very smooth. If you watchthe video on anything that's bigger than 20 inches, it looks so bad (the panning) thatalmost makes you dizzy.So I guess for someone who's not very concerned about photo and video quality, and is looking more for features, full manual controls, compact size and a nice user interface, this camera would be worth serious consideration. Or you can just buy a camera that will give you the same kind of JPEGs for half the price. I'm trying to get the best possible pictures without the need of much post processing (if I wanted to do that I would just shoot RAW with my DSLR).I decided to return it to BB today and will be getting the Sony NEX-5N instead. It's bigger in size but produces way better JPEGs out of the camera (some of the best I've seen) and gives me full manual controls and the option to shoot RAW if I want to. Would I sacrifice size for image quality? Absolutely. It's not a huge camera anyway. With some of the smaller lenses is not much bigger than the S100. The $270 price difference is worth from IQ point of view which is what I'm looking for.

I was aware of a lens problem that a lot of people were having with the s100 but i thought i would be safe since canon came out with a product advisory that said it only affected certain serial numbers:The first and second digits of the camera's serial number are any number from"29" through"41."For example:?"29xxxxxxxxxx",? "30xxxxxxxxxx"........."41xxxxxxxxxx"So it appears the problem was fixed.My camera serial number was "47xxx..." so it should have NOT been in the affected batches. I just got the camera today. Turned it on and took two very awesome photos. I turned it off and the lens stayed open (the very first time i may add) and as soon as i tried to turn on the camera i got:"Lens ErrorWill shut down automaticallyRestart Camera"This problem was supposed to be fixed and it affects me the first time i turn off the camera. Of course id rather this happen then 4 months down the line (after i can't return it). So the problem has definitely not been corrected by Canon.I called canon immediately which had me try to reset the camera which didn't work. The tech person even heard the camera grinding when i turned it on and commented about it. She said "that sounds pretty bad you should return it". I really liked the camera so i thought about getting a replacement but after i read on dpreview people have got their camera fixed only for it to happen a couple months later again or their optics (focusing, clarity). If this was a fluke i would just have got another one but i don't want to take a chance with a $400+ camera.I really would recommended against getting this camera. Its not worth the risk. If your determined to get it then i would read on dpreview or there was a really good video on youtube "Canon s100 Lens error (Lens will not retract)". Also you can do a search on google "Canon s100 Lens error"

Bought this to take on a 29 city tour of Europe. I was very surprised at how well it worked. Focuses, and auto exposure so fast I learned that I could truly just point and shoot. In churches, and other dimly lit places, it will auto expose and take a better picture than you can see with the naked eye. And will do it quickly.Countless times, didn't think there was enough light and it took a great pic. Very important, since there are so many places you cannot use flash.In a poorly lit Etruscan tomb, a woman behind me in line, saw the pics as I was taking them when they would flash on the screen for two seconds and asked "How are you doing that? My camera won't do that!"Will easily fit in my pants pocket, or shirt pocket - shirt pocket depends on how sewn, material, etc. but I put it there a lot.Digital cameras continue to improve, and my last one, a canon, was about 300 bucks and three or four years ago.This is so good, that if you had told me how good it was I would have been skeptical and thought you were just in love with your new purchase.Granted, I don't really care about the semi-pro features. I just wanted to enjoy my trip, get a lot of digital memories easily and without hassle. I bought the camera locally three days before I left on the trip, never did more than quickly read the "quick start" portion of the manual.For what I wanted, it was great and did a surprisingly good job. A couple of times, I had trouble getting a good focus, but this was out of 2900 images. I could probably have overcome that if I had read the manual. If I had borrowed this camera from someone, I would go buy one.The GPS function is great for this sort of trip. 30 cities, in 20 nights tends to blur and be hard to remember which city you were in.I did a certain amount of research online prior to purchase. Nothing out there at this time, as small as this. Some come close, but just won't slip in your pocket as easily.What a truly pleasant surprise to get something that works this well for point and shoot.

I began getting a lens error. This disables the camera from taking photos. At first, it was very infrequent and intermittent, but got worse. It didn't gradually get worse, but in giant leaps. I returned it to Canon for repair. They sent it back saying it was fixed. It worked for one day, then the lens error came back 100% of the time, worse than ever. I sent it back asking for a new one, but the Canon rep said that they had to look at it first. Now, I have to wait a couple more weeks. My expectations of Canon product and service quality were definitely not met.UPDATE May 4, 2012: I got it back. It took 2 1/2 weeks. I popped in the battery and SD card, powered up and guess what... lens error. Lens stuck in the open position. Took out the battery, put it back in and powered up again. Problem gone. Turned it off and on about a dozen times. Still no problems. Took out the battery, put it back in and powered up again. Turned it off and on a few more times. No problems. But that initial lens error gives me absolutely no confidence that the problem will not come back.UPDATE May 5, 2012: LENS ERROR. AUGH!!!UPDATE: May 24, 2012: A couple weeks ago, I sent my camera in to the Canon service center for the 3rd time. I wrote a detailed description of the problem and requested that the technician contact me when making the repair. Also called and emailed customer support explaining how frustrating this problem is and I wanted to make sure that they took extra care in repairing this camera. No contact from the technician. Received camera yesterday. Turned it on this morning, worked fine. Turned it on this afternoon. LENS ERROR! Turned it on tonight, LENS ERROR again.UPDATE June 1, 2012: I returned the camera (for the 4th time). This time, Canon shipped me a new unit and I received it yesterday. This morning, it worked perfectly. I'll use it for a month and post an update.UPDATE July 9, 2012: So far so good. NO lens error. It turns out that that the camera that I had originally had a serial number that Canon stated was susceptible to lens error, especially in hot humid environments like where I live. With that said, the photos are excellent for a compact camera. I especially like the color and clarity. Excellent good low light capabilities (again, for a compact camera). I've even used the video and found it to be very good. I am very pleased with the replacement camera, but I'm leaving the rating at one star so that people are aware that there is a series of serial numbers to avoid (1st 2 digits beginning with 29 through 41).

We were enthusiastic about this camera after the positive reviews, as previous owners of an S90, which lasted us a good 3 years (and probably would have lasted longer if not for an unfortunate incident involving sand at the beach). So, it seemed like a no-brainer to upgrade to the S100. The S90 was a fabulous pick for is because it takes great, fast photos in low-light on automatic mode, but still has lots of custom settings for my husband who likes to play around with settings and experiment with different kinds of exposures, etc.So we bought this camera primarily to continue to photograph our day-to-day adventures with our active 3 year old, and hopefully in a few months, her new sibling. However, the performance has been dramatically slower. In auto-mode, it takes a good 1-3 seconds to focus (pressing the shutter halfway) and yet another 1-3 seconds after that to actually SNAP the photo. Completely unacceptable when you have moving subjects like a toddler. By the time the shutter goes, the subject has already moved and the results are many blurry shots. We never had this experience with the S90, or friends/families with the S95. We ensured that settings which might slow things down (such as red-eye reduciton) were turned off, and after a few months, the frustration was just too much and we are trying to return it.Canon refuses to provide a refund since we didn't purchase it through them, but Amazon appears to be willing to take it back. I'm sure we won't get our full money back, but I appreciate Amazon's attempt to make the situation better. We are going to look into the Panasonic Lumix line...

Someone at Canon got the clever idea to make this printer "automatically" adjust the print heads by printing the alignment page and scanning it. There are two problems with this:1. Everything involves messing with the crummy 2-line LCD display on the printer, instead of the pleasant and easy alignment process on your PC screen (like most other printers, including Canon's cheaper products). This display has bad contrast and no backlight.2. The overall process never makes it clear exactly what is going on, and the user guide on the CD does not match up with what happens on the LCD display. After the page is scanned and the heads are aligned, there is no confirmation message or test page printed. I had to make up my own test page to see if the heads really were aligned. ALso, at one point, the LCD display makes it clear that I should select an OK button to go to the next step, while the user guide says I should press the COLOR or BLACK button (why they give me an option, I do not know). The user guide is correct (doing what seems obvious on the LCD will end the process before scanning). You can even tell it to print an alignment page from the software, but it then links you to the manual which tells you to do it from the printer. And get this: the alignment page printed from the software IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ONE PRINTED FROM THE LCD INTERFACE. It is a useless page with no apparent purpose.Absolutely none of the setup is obvious or automatic. During driver installation (about 400MB of stuff), it mentions that you will need to align the print heads, but you have to sift through the software to do that. There is nothing like a "do you want to do this now?" button as is offered for other printer installs.The scanner isn't helpful either. I tried to scan a picture, and after selecting all of the options on the LCD, it says "please wait a while". Silly me, I thought that meant it would start scanning, but it never did anything. The only way I can get this to scan is by using Windows' included picture/scan program. There is no scanner option in the "my printer" program which shows up in the system tray.But Canon does prompt you to do ONE thing: register! Yes, they don't care if you can use your printer, but they really want to get your name and address and will give you a direct link to their website.

Colour Photos on the other hand:From within the the Canon printer software, using high quality photo paper (various ones), this machine prints colour photos well, but the Canon printer software is severely limited.Printing from within Photoshop Elements 9 however: results in really muddy prints, nothing like I've ever seen in ten years of running colour prints on inkjet printers.Canon's response to my query was to blame me, according to Canon I should try the paper quality setting (Canon completely ignored that I had clearly stated I had set the paper correctly within Photoshop). Next Canon had the audacity to blame Adobe, and tell me to contact Adobe.Needless to say I wrote back a very angry email.Tried two other tests:Took the file--after shrinking with Photoshop Elements--to a photos store and had it printed on real photo paper, the results were the high quality I'd expected.Also tried an inkjet print from within GIMP's software, those results were better than from within Photoshop Elements, but nothing near the Canon software result nor the photo store result.I'm running a fast Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) laptopBottom line: Don't buy this printer for doing color photos.Oh, and the scanner only does 400 dpi.***************************************Updated a few hours later:*********************************Canon is still insisting that the problem is Adobe's. A different Canon printer I tested with Photoshop Elements worked just fine, so I find it very hard to believe Canon on the Adobe point.Don't buy this printer for any kind of serious colour print work. And don't expect serious answers from Canon's customer service.****************further update a few days later***************************Bought an Epson multifunction and the photos were still too dark when printed with Photoshop Elements 9, but the pictures weren't muddy.Tried the Epson printer software, and like Canon's Easy Print, that software made a better image than Photoshop Elements. But both the Epson and Canon printer software are severely limited, they force sizing changes. GIMP printed images with the Epson were fine, except for a sizing glitch. (GIMP is very powerful free photo editng software.)Finally: I found a color setting within Photoshop Elements--not within the printer or color space settings, or paper settings options--and that fixed the darkness problem for the Epson multifunction and somewhat improved the darkness problem with the Canon but not the muddy print problem from Photoshop Elements on the Canon.I've been using Photoshop Elements for years, and I've never had to set this function--( confirmed this by checking the settings on my old XP laptop)Canon was somewhat right to suggest Photoshop Elements as the problem, but not having any idea what to do and then saying use our limited software is akin to Ford or Honda saying: "Sure, our cars work great, but only on very limited roads, also supplied by us, and we don't know how to make them work better on regular roads." In both cases neither would be treated as a serious auto manufacturer.Again: I partly solved the extreme darkness problem experienced when printing from within Photoshop Elements, but never did solve the muddy picture quality of images printed from Photoshop Elements on the Canon.(Look: You can use Canon Easy Print software and have barely any control over print size, and get forced crops, then the mud problems disappear, but that's not how normal people print photos.)So in the end Canon can say: "It really was Adobe's fault, don't blame us", but that's not how the world of software works.Bottom line, still: Avoid this machine for color work.

I seem to continually pass on my retired point and shoot cameras to my Mom. This year I decided to change that. After extensive internet review hunting, the recurring theme of the research was that this mouse was a beast tightly wrapped up in a beautifully sized package.I rushed to my Mom's house when she received it to help her out with all of the functions (and play around with it myself...the real reason). Jealousy ensued to a degree I would not like mentioning. This compact piece of equipment is truly all you need in a point and shoot. I suggest save money if you are thinking of buying a cheap camera and invest in one that will stand the test of, what I like to call, "Tech Time". It sometimes seems like every week a new better piece of equipment comes out (everyone knows what this feels like).The rugged outer exterior and weight of the camera scream durability, which is what is needed in a point and shoot. There is no need for coddling like you would with a DSLR. I tested fitting the camera into my skinny jeans and there was no problem. This is beneficial for travelers who are looking for easy storage as they adventure.Quality is just there. There are only two different feelings you can truly have when playing with new equipment: "Wow, science and technology for the win." or "Wow, I just spent far too much money on this Piece of..." Thankfully the former is the present situation.If you are looking for a point and shoot that you can transport easily and safely, takes amazing photos (both day and night(really nails night better than any point and shoot I have seen)) and a camera that you will have for years and years please buy this!

Let me start off by saying that my copy of this camera (just bought it last week @ Best Buy) does not appear to have any issues with its image quality. I'm not saying that I don't believe that there are some initial quality issues with this this camera. It's just that my camera seems to work fine in that regard.That said... at lower ISOs, I really don't see a monumental difference in RAW or JPEG between it and the S95. At ISO400 and above however...there is noticeably less noise in the S100 pics. I wouldn't go as far as to say that ISO1600 is completely noise free on the S100 but it does deliver a much cleaner picture than the S95 did. Detail capture is about the same between the two cameras. Which is to say, pretty darn good. One thing I have noticed though is that the default colors are a little flatter on the S100 vs. the S95. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. It allows you a little more room to adjust it as you see fit.The camera feels about the same as its predecessors. Very solid build and well constructed. You have a thumb rest on the back of the camera and a tiny indent in the front for gripping. So the camera is very comfortable to shoot with. It also has an extended 5x zoom range.Like it predecssors, one of the hallmarks of the S100 is the rotating ring on the front which you can customize to adjust almost any function you want in the camera. I cannot overemphasize how useful this feature is. My preference is customize to adjust shutter speed but you can also use it adjust ISO and aperture.You have two menus on the camera, the regular menu and then the function menu. The function menu contains the most-accessed shooting settings (ISO adjustment, changing from JPEG to RAW). While the rest of the settings are under the regular menu.Shooting performance is a mixed bag. Shot-to-shot times have improved on the S100 and it is quicker to start up. However, autofocus performance has not improved over the S95. It's acceptable, but, it's disappointing to see that Canon has not improved this aspect of performance over its predecessor.The video is excellent for a compact camera. Generally very clean and excellent audio. It wouldn't take the place of a camcorder. But it's a great choice if you want a camera that shoots quick videos of decent quality.The S100 is very good camera but I don't think in some respects it's a very compelling upgrade from the S95. It's picture quality at lower ISOs is virtually the same and its shooting performance hasn't made big enough of a leap. So if you primarily shoot stills at lower ISOs and don't do a lot of night shooting, you really aren't gaining much by upgrading. But if you shoot a lot in low light, want the extra zoom, and/or are new to the S series from Canon. The S100 should be at the top of your list.

As a long time user of Canon cameras, presently the 50D DSLR and the G10 compact, I bought the S100 as a camera I'd carry in my shirt or trousers pocket, taking it everywhere.Image quality is little short of amazing for such a small unit. I think that even at base ISO, the S100's detail rendition is as good as that of my G10 (which is almost as good as the excellent 50D DSLR). In that regard, it's wonderful, capable of taking images which very few could tell were taken by a small sensor camera.Performance at higher ISOs is also surprisingly good, far surpassing that of the G10. Up to ISO 400, image noise is no problem unless one wants to make a moderately large print, 12X18 inches or more. Even then (at 400) a modest touch of noise reduction preserves all the detail while eliminating visible noise. At ISO 1000 or 1250, very good images are obtainable, when noise reduction is applied. At 1600 and above, color rendition drops off and noise becomes a problem for anything more than small web displays.There have been a few mild criticisms of the ergonomics of the S100, but I think those criticisms are probably the result of people trying to use it for an hour or so and finding the interface slightly different. After using the camera for a day or two, one almost never needs to access the menus. Aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and exposure comensation can be set so they're "right out in the open" for the photographer who needs to change something quickly during a shoot. Even with my XL size hands, using the camera is easy and comfortable.For me, the S100 is not really a "shirt pocket compact", and it's only a "trousers pocket compact" if the trousers are pretty large, with roomy pockets. But it is small, and it rides comfortably in a small Sony camera case, looped onto my belt.The S100's limitations probably would not be noticed by a casual family photographer. Focus is not as rapid as it is with a DSLR. Shutter lag is noticeable, even with pre-focus. Dynamic range isn't as broad as that of a large sensor camera. These are limitations common to almost all small sensor cameras.Finally, there's no "hot shoe" which could accomodate an external flash unit, and the camera's small built-in flash is of very limited use. The workaround is to use an external flash as a slave unit, but that does complicate things a little.There is no perfect camera,but for a small, very portable camera, it's almost impossible to beat the S100.

I've been a big Canon lover over the years. I've had 4 DSLR's and some pocket size cameras like the S95 and now the S100. Loved the S95. When the S100 arrived at our house, we were very excited to test it out during a trip to Las Vegas. After a few pictures in Vegas, my wife started to get Lens errors. (I checked on Google and learned that a lot of people were getting these errors). No problem, I thought, everyone gets a bad piece of electronics every once in a while....and I've had good luck with Canon I sent the S100 to Canon for repair. It took about 3 weeks from the time I sent it to them until the time I got it back. They claimed they replaced the optics and it was a warranty repair. My wife and I started taking a few pictures. We got about 10 pictures in with the "Repaired Camera", when we started seeing the SAME Lens Error!! Very frustrating. The S100 has been re-sent to Canon for repair. It's been about three weeks and I'm still waiting for the camera to arrive. I dont' have high hopes that it will be fixed this time around. At this point, I just want a new camera to replace this lemon.Update: 6-20-12:Received the camera back. Canon forgot to return the battery (even though it stated in their paperwork that we had sent them a battery) . Had to call support to have them send another battery. 3 days later. Received battery. Put battery in camera, turned it on. Lens Error!! Same Error after two full repair trips. Arrrgh.Update: 7-10-12Received camera back (3rd time from Canon repair). It appears they actually did something this time. I'm about 50 pictures in, and it continues to work. More testing is needed...but this is already 49 pictures more then the previous two repairs. Keeping my fingers crossed. :D If it turns out I have another lens error...I'll provide an update to this review.Update 1-7-13Well...we had a good run there for about 6 months. Took a lot of images and no issues... but... went to Mexico for the holidays and the Lens Error is back. We managed to get 2 days worth of pictures of the trip...and then it started failing. Good thing the iphone5 takes good pictures, otherwise we wouldn't have pictures for much of the trip. I'm at a loss what to do next. I really don't want to repair it -again-.

Good stuff:- fit. This case preserves camera compact credentials by tightly hugging it on all sides- protection. I feel confident handling the camera while it is in this case as it's hard shell should protect camera against bumps and even moderate falls.- included neck strap. Camera is always easy to grab and ready to shoot. This is fine alternative to belt cases.- tripod adapter. Camera is secured in the case by tripod adapter that allows me to attach tripod without taking camera out of the case. I often carry it with Gorillapod Video Tripod (Black/Blue) attached, so it is ready for the those shots that require camera to be stabilized.- Canon logo. Hey, we all love our camera, so why not being proud of it :-). Besides, this is officially authorized Canon case, which means that it undergoes stringent specifications requirements and tight quality control before reaching the customers- price. This case looks and feels it's suggested MSRP price, so the 'Deluxe' part of the title is not just a moniker. Buying it at it's current ten dollar (with free Prime shipping) tag is a real bargain.Not so good stuff:- real leather? I am not an expert but it looks like faux leather to me. No indication on the case except 'Made in China' stamp. Anyway, case looks and feels nice inside and out and provides excellent protection, so the only difference may be the longevity, which I am not ready to judge.- two-piece construction. Case consists of two separate pieces: the sides/bottom piece that is securely connected to the camera and front/top/back piece that connects to the bottom part via three buttons. When you prepare camera for shooting you need to remove the front of the case and you have three ways of doing it: completely unbuttoning it and storing separately or unbuttoning either right most button or two center buttons. Practically though only the first way is useful because the other two alternatives leave front portion of the case hanging freely from the camera and not only making camera uncomfortable to handle but also not hanging very securely as any slight pull might separate the front portion of the case with you either loosing it or having to catch as it falls to the ground. So the dilemma is once you separate the front portion of the case from the rest of the camera, where do you keep it? In the bag? In coat pocket? Either way this is a problem waiting for solution and distracting from using your camera.So, which case should you buy? If you need more storage for spare battery or memory card, you need to keep looking for a larger case with additional compartments for the accessories. If you are comfortable wearing your camera on the belt, then Canon PSC-500 Deluxe Soft Case is an excellent choice. If you are looking for more sophisticated look, neck strap and ability to leave tripod attached, then this case is a very fine choice and you will not be disappointed.

I used to avoid multi-function printers, but they appear to have improved.I have used this printer to scan, copy and print; connected directly by USB to a desktop computer and wirelessly to all the laptops in the house. Presently, it is not directly connected anymore, I just use my wireless router and can print from anything that will connect. I have not yet used it for faxing.The print quality is very good and pretty fast.I've taken this printer down and set it back up several times (every time I change hardware or network configuration) and it has been a breeze every time.The physical interface seemed a little confusing at first, but no big deal to get used to.Summary: Good quality printing, easy setup, and the functionality I've used has been satisfactory.Ink usage isn't any worse than the other printers I've had, maybe a tiny bit better, but I really don't spend a lot of time worrying about it. So, it can't be too bad, eh?I've had this printer about a year and have been very happy with this purchase.Oh, and I saw the review of the guy who is all mad because his printer isn't wireless and found it sold at Walmart for $80- that's a different printer. I have that printer, too.Bought it at Walmart. It's good and I have it hooked to my router VIA a Belkin USB hub.I obviously can't promise MAC users the same experience as Windows users- ever.

I traded in my Canon Powershot S95 (which I loved) to upgrade to the S100, which I thought would give me improved low-light photos as well as other features. It actually did that but then came the dreaded "lens error " problem in mid-July; my camera is in the 32xxxx series, so it is one of the affected ones. After talking with a Canon tech, I sent the camera to them courtesy a prepaid label (I appreciated that), and they verified that the camera had the documented lens error, made repairs, and sent it back in about 3 weeks. All was well until 3 days ago (December 23) when the lens error began again without warning. I've communicated with Canon who has agreed again to send a prepaid label for me to send it to their repair facility. We'll see what they do with it (and I'll update this review) but right now I'd warn anyone who is thinking of getting this camera to stay away from it, despite its attractive price. After using Canon cameras for many years I have had my confidence shaken. Even if the camera is repaired, I won't feel as though I could depend on it to perform.ETA 13 Jan 2013: received my S100 back from Canon's factory repair facility about 10 days after sending it in. They fixed a torn fpc & confirmed all camera functions. I've given one more star to this product primarily because of Canon's willingness to make the fix a second time, at no cost to me, which I appreciate. Now, I'd like to get at least one more year of use from this camera WITHOUT any problems!

I've owned many PowerShot cameras from Canon over the years but moved up to DSLR about two years ago.Then earlier this year, for a trip to the Bahamas, I picked up a Nikon water proof AW100 to take photos while snorkeling. But I really wanted a regular pocket camera so I waited for and order the S100 pretty close to announcement day and got it last week.The camera certainly does a lot and has a lot of easy to use menu options for customizing the camera. But at the end of the day, there are two features I look for in a camera:1. Picture Quality2. Ergonomics (control layout)Picture Quality is pretty good. Although not as high a quality as the Nikon AW100 is an apples/oranges comparison I suppose. But just point-n-shoot produces descent images but I've seen better on other cameras of this size.Night shots were very good too, but again, "compared to what"? But what I say to people who ask "I have yet to take a great picture with the S100".Some new point & shot cameras are using the new style CMOS chips with the "wires on the back" of the sensor. I used one recently (the AW100) and it is like night vs day in picture quality. The S100 uses a "new for Canon Powershot" chip, but it is still front-wired. Not my job to write about that technology, read up on it if you're interested.Ergonomic design is where the S100 really fails. The power button, shutter release and mode Dial are not well thought out at all. The mode dial should not be where it is--it blocks access to the shutter release. This causes you to have to reach over it to take a picture--it is obviously in the way, so why not put it elsewhere, like on the top right side of the back of the camera like they've done in so many other Canon PowerShot models.If you have the camera to someone and ask them to take your picture, you have the inevitable situation where they try to press the Mode button and you have to show them where the shutter release is located.The shutter release button is difficult to find--you're body just expects it to be the dominate button on top of the camera.Next is the Flash--cool idea and looks good in a demo video on a website, however in practice in 100 percent of the cases, my left hand is holding a finger over to the top of the flash as it tries to popup. Fortunately unlike some older Canon powershots with this feature, this set of power gears is stronger--and doesn't get stripped when you do this (which you will) like some older powershots did. Where are you supposed to hold the camera?All in all, this camera is going back. If it were a $200 camera, I'd probably keep it I the glove box of my car for quick & dirty shots, but for $429 its going back to Amazon. Sorry Canon, I really wanted to like this one, but unless you're a DSLR user who for some reason demands all the controls of a DSLR in a small camera, this is just an overpriced, difficult to use model for the money.

There are two things in my situation that help me to decide what I should buy. 1st my old cyber-shot camera broke and 2nd I want enter to the photograph's world. I don't like the idea to buy a SLR as a primary camera because the large size to carry on all time. I know in some point I'm going to get a SLR, but anyway you need a compact camera for many situations that isn't comfortable have a SLR.So, I found out by Internet and talked with some photographer to help me decide what I can buy. I looked the Panasonic z20, Sony cybershot HX-30v (better buy HX-20) and many more. After all that investigation I felt between canon s100 or Panasonic Lumix LX-7. And it was really hard to choose; and after all I chose s100.As I beginner I think is a good decision this camera, it has full manual control (ISO, aperture and exposure). You have to get use grab it because the pop up flash at the left top of the camera, but it's fine for me. The body camera has a nice texture and it feel of good material (that you haven't a toy in your hands).In the other hand I need replace my old camera and I think the s100 will do a good role. At that price this is the best compact camera.

This review will be just like any other regarding the S100 compared to the S95.Canon tried to up the ante by upgrading their S95. But how do you improve on perfect?Long story short, you can't.The S100 features a slightly bulkier, boxier chassis in comparison to the S95, which for some people is a welcome change, due to the easier grip, though others still prefer the sleek feel of the S95; the new look is too much of a change and will really depend on whether or not you came from the S95, or are now just entering the realm of Canon's S-series.For someone who already owns the S95, the S100 is not worth springing for. Newer is not necessarily better (as seen so profusely with Panasonic's sad upgraded lines of their GF series.. the GF-1 remains by far the best out of all their updates to that line, surpassed only once they came out with the GX series). In actuality, the S100 is what I would call a side-grade. It's the alternative reality of the S95, and with this, I have to say - if you've never handled the S95, you would probably enjoy the S100. It doesn't do anything much worse than the S95, but it's not much better than the S95 is either.For me, I have handled both and in all honesty, they both perform admirably well. But don't think that the S100 is supposed to outclass the S95. If anything, it's just another option that people can pick from a fantastic series.

Before taking a trip to Italy last summer, I decided I did not want to lug around my big DSLR because it was going to be a fast-paced tour. I did a lot of research on small cameras and decided on the Canon S100 because it got very good reviews for the following: low-light shots, fast recycle time, image stabilization, manual controls, and others. One big criteria for me was that it had to fit in my pocket. I have been more than pleased with the results from this camera. We were in several churches in Italy where the lighting was somewhat dark. The S100 took excellent pictures, without flash, under those circumstances. We were on the go constantly, I took many shots while I was walking, or on a boat, or on a bus. The image stabilization works great! I kept this camera in my pants pocket all the time. I could pull it out of my pocket, turn it on, and begin shooting right away. No real time lag, no waiting for it to boot up. Also, no time lag between being able to take the next shot. The quality of all of the photos I have taken with this camera have been excellent. Because we were on the go in Italy, I kept it on auto the whole time. Since then, I have had opportunity to use some of the manual settings and I am really impressed at the amount of control the user has over all of the settings. Not as many settings as a DSLR, but enough to take some really good shots. Overall, I would highly recommend this camera as a great point-and-shoot that takes great photos and will easily fit in your pocket.By the way, the S100 fits very nicely in the following case: Case Logic TBC-302 Compact Camera Case (about $5). You can also fit a spare battery and a memory card in the zipper pocket of this case.

The CANON web site has admitted that there was a mechanical lens flaw in a series of Powershot S100 cameras. They even listed the serial numbers of the flawed run. S/N starting with 29xxx through 41xxx. This is my second S100; the first is S/N 46xxx and is a dream to use. Ordered a second; it arrived; lens error; S/N 41xxxx. Am exchanging it. If the replacement is within the list of flawed serial numbers, it will be returned and exchanged again until I get one that is not in the 29-41 range. I can't take the risk that it will run for a few months and then fizzle.I would think it is a simple matter just to recall those within this numerical range before selling them. Canon can repair them and will free-of-charge. But why put the consumer through that hoop. They should have all been recalled; they do it for automobiles, so why not cameras, etc.?? And, I can't think of a single reason why Amazon check the serial numbers before selling to guarantee delivering a working product and perserving their reputation.For reference, see other one and two star reviews of this camera...UPDATE: Replacement camera arrives. Serial # is 47xxx and works fine so far. This would be a five star product if it weren't for the production run error that was not corrected by recall. Again, if you can recall an automobile, a point and shoot camera just should not be that great a problem. Will revisit this purchase after a month's hard use. So far, so good.

I got my Canon S100 a couple of months ago in anticipation of shooting RAW while on vacation. I had 427 shots off of this camera prior to the vacation. Everything was functioning as expected. The images that it produced were spectacular (for a pocket cam of course)While on vacation I got off exactly six shots. When I turned it on again the LCD screen was black but all of the icons were functioning as normal. The camera acted as if it was fine, but upon review of photographs taken the first six were fine but anything taken after the LCD went black were blank. The only noticeable thing was that the focus beep was now taking a long time to occur. I tried every setting. I reset to factory, and nothing worked. I tried video; nothing. I switched out the SD card. I switched out the battery. No better results.The camera wasn't jarred, didn't get wet, or was subjected to anything other than setting it down on the hotel nightstand that evening.Luckily I had taken a camera that I bought for last years vacation; a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7. I lost one complete day of expected shooting on Culebra Island, Puerto Rico due to the fact that I hadn't packed the Panasonic for that days trip. Bummer. The S100 worked the night before so I hadn't even given it a thought.When I got home a couple of days ago I put the SD card in my computer, and as expected, the first six shots were fine and the rest are big black rectangles.This morning I went to CanonUSA's website and went through the warranty repair section and obtained a work order number. I will send the camera out tomorrow for repair or replacement.I don't know if I could ever trust this camera again, even after repair. I haven't seen anything mentioned about this problem. If it is a known issue with these cameras, I didn't see it when I researched this particular model.Anything can malfunction, but these cameras are NOT cheap, and I expected better than I received.I have been an Amazon Prime Customer for years and have purchased hundreds of items and have never written a review before, but the performance of this particular camera let me down that much.

The Canon Powershot S100 really is all that has been claimed by the manufacturer. All the other reviews list the pros and cons very well. I see no point in elaborating further. I will say that I am very happy with this camera. It's really great.Of interest is the problem of lens failure. Canon has publicly stated the problem and promises to fix it, without charge, for all the cameras affected. They have stated that stocks of cameras with serial numbers starting with 29-41 (for example 29xxxxxxx)are affected. I'm repeating from this website: [...] You can copy and paste this on your browser.It happens that the camera I received has a serial number starting with 47. I should not have the lens failure problem. If the numbers are consecutive, which I expect they are, cameras presently in stock may also NOT have the problem. I can 't be sure. However, if purchased from Amazon, buyers can get it fixed or return it - their choice. In my experience both Canon and Amazon have been very good about such things.Also of interest is the new DXC-RX100. This is the new version of the S100. For those shooters who must have the best of the best and the newest of the newest, the DXC-RX100 incorporates a touch screen - maybe more.Now you can get the S100 at a good price. If you decide you want the DXC-RX100, it will come at a higher price. Either way, I think most buyers will be pleased.

We've had this printer about 4 months. It is connected to a newer Dell computer (XPS series). So far, it is working very well and we are very pleased. This printer prints in color, scans, makes copies and faxes. We haven't used it for faxing yet, but we have been pleased with all the other functions.CONNECTIVITY: The printer was connected within minutes and took only a few minutes to set up electronically.QUALITY: The quality is very nice, even on the lower settings. There is no evidence of smearing ink, the pages print relatively fast and the edges of the characters are crisp and clear.SPEED: As noted above, the pages print quickly. Most of the time, we have printed on a "draft" function, so the printer spits them out quickly, but it doesn't hurt the quality.SCANNING: Very simple. My wife was thrilled at how easy it was to scan something into the computer and attach it to an email. She has used it several times since then.COPYING: just as easy as scanning. It's a quick one button function.PRICE: I was pretty happy with this price. None of the stores in town could beat Amazon's price. As usual, Amazon got it to my doorstep in quick fashion. If shopping for a printer, definitely compare this to Amazon's price online. I couldn't find it cheaper when I purchased it last year.INK: Canon doesn't charge as much for their ink cartridges as HP. We're also still on the first ink cartridge that came with the printer and it's been four months. We're getting close to needing a new cartridge, but it won't cost us near as much as with our older HP printer.JAMS: In four months, we haven't had one jam. Our old HP printer used to jam all the time. We will use, at times, old paper (paper the kids have colored on or have been printed on one side). With the old printer, unless that type of paper was in perfect condition, it would jam. With this new printer, we are able to use the old paper and haven't worried about jams.I would describe our use of this printer as moderate to light. We print a few hundred pages a month at a time, so it's not being overworked. For our needs though, this was just what we were looking for.UPDATE:We've now had the printer for over a year and it continues to perform very well. Very pleased with this purchase.

I loved this camera, but I experienced the same problem that other folks are reporting. It worked great for a while (in particular taking great photos at low light), but after only a few months the lens cover stopped retracting. I've treated the camera gently and kept it in a camera case when not in use. I'd expect a camera of this quality to last longer.Canon has acknowledged the issue on-line, but not for all serial numbers (mine is outside the range of cameras that they list). I sent them an email, described the problem and they asked me to mail them the camera.In about a week they fixed it and sent it back to me - free of charge. Thus far, it seems to work just fine. Fortunately, I purchased it just under a year ago, otherwise it looks like the repair may not have been covered.Giving it a one-star, primarily so folks are aware of the problem. However, before it broke and once fixed, this is a fantastic camera. Awesome zoom and amazing low light photos.

The bad news first, since it is short. ISO locked at 80 for over 1 sec shutter, used for some night shots and for astronomy. The AF, AE, and AWB problems others report I just have not seen. Either the reviewer is not using the camera properly, or, as this is such a new model, perhaps there are some defective ones. Canon does have a warranty.The good news is that everything is improved:1. Ergonomics - slightly thinner so it fits in the pocket easier. Textured finish, subtle front and rear grips. The rear control dial has been perfected. Just the right tension, comfortable detents.2. Eye Fi support - indicates when the card is active, and doesn't power off during transfers.3. GPS - Could be useful for location or accurate time-stamps, and easy to shut off it you don't like it.4. More wide angle, more telephoto - Not a lot of extra range, but for no extra space or trade off in lens quality, it's appreciated.5. Better high ISO - At least 1 stop better than the S90. ISO1600 is noticeably more detailed and less noisy, with S100 NR at Low (which I recommend as a default setting). This isn't the huge improvement I was hoping for after 2 years of sensor technology, but it is less noise and more megapixels than the S90. I miss the "amnesty international" (candle logo) mode, but results are probably better than that mode by just using ISO6400 and brightening a stop or two afterwards.6. Movie Mode - If you had the S90, clearly you didn't care about video. I don't, but it doesn't hurt to have it. S100 video is great, high res and optical zoom. Note that 6min at 720/30 will eat ~1GB. 1080 is 24fps, inconvenient for editing, but fine for grabbing frames out of that are high enough resolution to print 8x10 at 100dpi (plenty for the wall). Somewhat makes up for the still anemic (2.3 fps) continuous shot mode (it is that slow even in M2, 2mp, mode).7. Better Image Stabilization - Not sure about vs the S95, but better compared to the S90.8. "Other" - Several other features to play with like HDR mode, Movie Digest, aspect ratios, ND filter, that may or may not be useful. Macro is improved, but still inconvenient compared to other cameras. The setting, like the S90, reverts to normal on power-off. Unlike the S90, the S100 will not focus on distant objects in macro mode.Any other negatives would be in relation to other cameras than the S90 or S95. There are now other cameras on the market like the Olympus XZ-1 or Fuji X10 that are worth considering for low-light pocket cameras, but both are much larger than the S100. That's the cost of having a lens that is brighter at telephoto. Sony may be faster at low light AF. Look at a camcorder if you want "true" 1080/60p HD video.

Prior to leaving on a very long overseas trip I started to look for a small camera vs taking my 50D SLR and large, heavy lenses. After reading amny reviews, including Amazon, I bought a S100. I have used it for the last week in Singapore and the results have been very good. I have tried every mode and in many pictures I took several shots using different modes and settings to see which resulted in best results. I have not played with Video modes cause I dont care about it.I have taken pictures in RAW and Bracketed modes and created HDR's using various tools including the one from Canon (Included with camera) and several others to include Photoshop Essentials. Great resultsI had extensivly used the cameras built in HDR processing with great results. I have read many reviews about you need a tripod and its not great but my expereince is quite the opposite. I have free hand held the camera but in most cases I just held it to a railing or other stable object and it provided great results.The GPS does drain your battery quick. I have four batteries (bought a spare and then found out my old camera used same batteries) and glad I do. I get approx 250 shots per battery without the GPS and less than 100 withI GPS. Even without the GPS I would recommend several batteries (very cheap).I have been using maximum 4:3 resolution and getting over 5,000 photos on a 16GB SDHC card. Price was very cheap but turms out too be too big, maybe. BUT I have to imagine of you want to use video that 16GB might be right. I got them through Smazon for <$20 so not really a problem.This camaera is way outperforming my expectations and a solid travel camera when you dont want to lug an SLR around the world.

I have to admit that this printer scared me right out of the box. It had been such a long time since I had purchased a new printer that my old one still hooked up to the computer through one of those big printer cables that have gone the way of wired mouses. I had a feeling that the directions on this contraption would probably speak heavily of cables and software using terms that I had yet to learn. I was so intimidated by the thought of it that I enlisted the help of a neighbor that well understands this stuff much better then myself. As it turns out, I really feel that with a couple of exceptions where I was a little nervous, I could have easily gotten this thing up and running on my own. Hard wiring this printer is a snap. With the exception of the directions insisting on calling the USB cable the power cable or something or other, it really is as simple as following the directions provided. And that holds true even with the fact that my printer is wired into a very old desktop computer simply acting as a host for the series of laptops we have in the house. After we set up the wireless connection, (that I swear went as easily as described in the directions) it was just a matter of setting up the laptops to find and recognize the juice now flowing through the house. In just under and hour I was enjoying wireless printing from my laptop in one room, and hearing it quietly process in another. Simply wonderful. Make no mistake about it, this baby has not become a victim of all the downsizing that is going on in the electronics business these days. It has the look and feel of being a throw back to an era when electronics had enough heft to them that you actually felt you were getting your moneys worth. Some other reviewers have stated some irritation or surprise at this units size. But in all honestly, unless you are talking about a situation where space is a premium, it shouldn't be a concern in my opinion. Actually, I think it looks right handsome all lit up and ready for action. It's truly a fine all in one machine that has the look and feel of true quality to it. It's actually been some time since I have been so satisfied with something as new and intimidating as this.In conclusion, I must confess that as of the time of this writing, I have not as of yet tried out the FAX part of this model. I have printed with it and used the scanner, but have no need yet of the FAX. I had never used a scanner before. But once again following the directions with a little patience had me becoming comfortable with it in less than 30 minutes. If my satisfaction with this machine changes any in regards to the fax, I will certainly be back to report it. There is no question that one can get a printer for a lot less money than buying this piece. Even an all in one model can be had for cheaper than this Canon model. However I feel that the quality look and feel of this baby, along with the flawless performance it is producing, well justifies the higher price. If I had run into any problems with the set up and operation of this model, I would pass them on in ragards to any and all advice and experience. But truthfully I did not. I am very happy with this all in one printer, and I highly recommend buying it right here on Amazon...

I don't usually write reviews but this camera is amazing. I usually shoot with a big cannon DSLR, which can ruin the moment for spontaneous shooting and or just be too much to lug around on hikes. This little guy solves the problem. I took it with me on a road trip through Utah and left it on auto mode with splendid results! The oppressive sun tends to wash out photos but this little camera perfectly detected the full-sun when I left it on Auto WB. It then compensated for the bright sun to make sure my colors weren't completely blown out. Easy and I couldn't have asked for more. All the shots are crisp too, even at full zoom. It's not SLR so don't expect perfection along the lines of those $5k cameras. But for a point and shoot its amazing. I like the ability to set aperture, shutter, or completely manual with the bonus of shooting in RAW. For backpacking and light traveling, this will be my new go-to camera.

I'm writing this review because these are two of the higher-end pocketable Canon cameras and you may debate between which is better for you. I've owned the S100 for 3 weeks/300 pics now and have had the SX230HS for 7 months and taken 1,000s of pictures with it.They are both great cameras and you will, no doubt, be happy with either. They both have full manual controls, shoot 1080p video, and are very similar in size.To me, there are two obvious differences that matter:1. Zoom! The SX230HS clearly wins out in the long zoom competition. 14X vs. 5X on the S100. Does this really matter? To me: not so much. In my experience, I shoot 90% of my pictures at the widest possible focal length and aperture. Even the pictures where I zoom, 5X covers just about everything else.Does this mean the 14X zoom doesn't have value? No. Some things are cool, like zooming in on the ball drop in Times Square, or reading some far away sign. Keep in mind that using that much zoom is limited to fixed subjects in very good lighting. Anything else will be blurry due to you or the subject moving during the relatively long exposure.2. ISO noise. This one is not obvious to all camera buyers yet, but once you know what it is, it becomes the most important feature. I have posted some 100% crop photos here with side by side comparisons of a ruler and a flat wall. I like this test because it shows both noise and smoothing processes that remove fine detail.So how do they compare? The S100 is much better than the SX230 as you can see from the test shots. The S100 has more detail (numbers and lines on the ruler) and less noise (splotchyness).There are purists out there that will say you can't compare the two because the S100 has a DIGIC 5 vs. the DIGIC 4 in the SX230 and they are using different noise reduction strategies. That doesn't change the fact that I greatly prefer the noise reduction on the S100 and I think the detail is retained better as well.Also aiding the S100 is a wider aperture f/2.0 vs f/3.1 (1.3 stops). This gives you the ability to use a faster shutter speed at the same ISO to reduce motion blur. Or use lower iso for less noise at the same shutter speed.Conclusion:I'll take the better noise handling over the zoom.The superior S100 Image Quality (IQ) makes this my primary camera for almost all situations now. The zoom on the SX230 just doesn't come into play enough where I would get more benefit from it over better IQ on the S100.Star rating:Why do I give it 4 start instead of 5? Cons listed by other users:Long exposures are stuck to ISO 80 and 15 seconds max, HDR needs a tripod, battery life (though I got a cheap battery on Amazon, works well).Hope this helps.

I also have a Canon S95 and Sony RX100, and the Canon S100 carries on from the S95 very well--extremely compact, well built, and with excellent picture quality that (under ISO 400) compares favorably to the larger sensor mirrorless and APS cameras. The Sony RX100 is the hands down favorite for image quality (it's got 20MP in an even bigger sensor) but the S100 is smaller and the built-in GPS is a nice feature. With 12MP, the S100 is has plenty of resolution and it's probably the best on-the-go compact. The RX100 beats it in the image quality department, but it's also slightly bigger, heavier and slower to use.For comparison, I took some landscape shots using the Canon S100, Sony RX100, Sony NEX-7, Canon 5DIII and Nikon D800.The Nikon D800 and Canon 5DIII were the best and readily distinguishable. However, the rest were all so good that I had to keep checking to see which camera took the shot. These were a combination of day and sunset shots in Colorado with a lot of detail and contrast. The fact that the tiny S100 could compare to these larger and significantly more expensive cameras is an impressive feat.Not a bad showing for the S100.

I purchased this camera during the November 2012 " Black Friday" sale at a great deal. I had read the negative reviews about it, so I was unsure about buying this one, or a more expensive one from another company. I was intending to take it on my trip to Southeast Asia, and I needed a dependable camera, that didn't eat batteries, and was pocketable.As it turned out, it performed flawlessly. I took many thousands of still pictures, and a lot of video. The picture quality was great, and even in dim light, was so good I rarely even needed the flash.During video mode, it did use up batteries, so I took 2 spare batteries, which I got from Amazon, which gave me a whole day of shooting..It has a lot of features that I don't need, and didn't use on my trip, but overall, I am really happy with the camera. I will be taking it on my next trip.I can recommend this camera, if you want a small camera, with a lot of features.

As expected, the camera takes solid photos. The layout of the camera is generally great. But many little things are not acceptable, such as:* After taking a photo with photo review, you have to wait the full 2 seconds before you can zoom in out out to recompose a photo. It is impossible to quickly change focal lengths between shots. Super lame.* The VERY! audible knocking sound of the auto-focus ruins any and all voice biased videos. Google S100 video knocking noise and you'll see a ton of YouTube examples. I've owned a lot of compact cameras and the excuses that the knocking sound is common to all small cameras is absolutely not true.* Too slow to take a photo. I've had compact cameras (e.g. way back to the S110, or the Panasonic LX3) where the camera was slow. But, I could address this by half-pressing the shutter button and letting the camera determine the focus, lighting, etc. Then, when the shot was ready, I could quickly snap the composed pic. The S100 has a lag even when the shot has been focused, resulting a lot of fleeting smile lost shots. Again, supper lame.* While minor, the battery does run down really quickly. When traveling about, it would be nice to feel secure that a charged batter would last the day - but it just isn't true. This is the first camera where I've had to really think about battery use.I've also had to return the camera twice to factory service (which is excellent, but I'd rather not have to do it).Overall, I wish I hadn't purchased the camera. As a first camera it may be worth the price. But as an upgrade, totally not worth it.

I bought this camera because I wanted a small camera that would take great pictures and allow me to manually focus if I wanted to. I have taken it on two vacations, and have used it for a variety of other occasions. I love the video feature that takes 5 second clips with each picture, it is great for things like helicopter rides through the grand canyon, where you would like both pictures and some video.So far I have been very pleased with the photos taken by this camera, I haven't notice any of the defects that some others have reported. The outdoor photos I have taken are stunning, very crisp and the colors are true to life. The low light and indoor pictures are also very good for a compact.The biggest disappointing I have had with this camera is the gps system. It doesn't record location data (apparently unable to find satellites) for over half my pictures, even ones that were taken in roughly the same area. There is also apparently no way to permanently load pictures into the map software that it came with to record different vacations and such, you must reload the picture each time you open the software.Overall, this is a great camera, I would recommend it to more serious photographers who either don't want to buy or to carry around a dslr. The advanced settings may be confusing for some, but the auto setting is very good, so most will never need the extra settings. I have not had a great experience with the gps function, but I really don't need it. I wanted a great compact camera, and this one was exactly what I was looking for. The great photos and manual options make this one of the best compact cameras I have used.

This is my first Canon point-and-shoot and I've only had it a few days, but so far I'm very pleased. I read a lot of positive things about the S100 and when it popped up as a Black Friday deal, it was a no brainer to order it. This review won't cover all the features this camera has, but from my limited experience with it so far, I can say it takes very clear pictures and boots up extremely fast. It's ready to start shooting within 1 or 2 seconds of powering on - which is exponentially faster than my old cybershot. Whats different (and something I like) about the S100 is the adjustable ring around the lens. It can act as the zoom in "auto" mode or it can even change the f-stop in manual modes.It's priced higher than many other digital point and shoots, but if you consider the quality of pictures you geta and the the features, its a really good value. Dont get sucked in by the 15+ MP cameras because if you're not printing photos to fit on the side of a building, you don't need anything that big!One thing that also made my purchase that much more satisfying is how fast it was delivered to my house! I ordered it around midnight on the morning of black friday (opted for the 5-9 standard free shipping) and it was on my doorstep on Tuesday! Couldn't have asked for a speedier delivery.

I assume you have read reviews complaining about lack of picture sharpness in some samples of this camera. I suggest reading the in-depth review at dpreview.com, which is a bit more detached and objective than some of the negative reviews here. (This is only natural. Someone who has spent the money to buy a camera, and has been disappointed, will react less objectively than a reviewer who tests four sample cameras, compares their image quality, and doesn't have to spend money on any of them.)Personally I am satisfied with the lens on my sample of the S100, and I speculate that there were production problems in the first models to come off the line. You always run a risk by being an early adopter, especially if the model is brought to market hastily for the Christmas season, as this was.S95 owners will find just enough differences in the controls to be irritated by the S100. After a relearning process, however, I felt that the functional changes were improvements, especially when I want quick access to aperture/shutter speed, ISO, and exposure adjustment. I also appreciate the completely new features such as GPS and automatic dynamic range compression. And most of all I like the wider lens. I am not so thrilled by the rougher finish of the metal body and the finger/thumb grips, presumably included to satisfy users who complained that the S95 was too slippery. I liked the S95's totally clean styling.For those who never touched an S95 (or its predecessors), you have a treat in store: I consider this the most amazingly feature-packed pocket camera, besides being one of the smallest. Almost all the features from my full-size D5 mark II have been replicated here, and are fairly intuitively accessible. Or, of course, you can just set it to Auto. But that isn't why you want this camera, is it? The intended buyer, I think, is a fairly serious photographer who wants total feature-control in a package small enough to take anywhere, with minimal sacrifice of image quality. Yes, the small physical size of the 12MP sensor introduces some additional image noise compared with a full-frame camera, and you may miss the higher pixel count from time to time, but still--an incredible achievement, and very beautifully executed.

First let me say I'm a Nikon DSLR guy, that being said I have to admit lugging a DSLR around can be a pain. This camera gives me the freedom to always have a camera with me that gives me professional looking photo's. I looked at Nikons pocket camera's and nothing size wise came even close to the S100's specs! This is about the best super compact camera you can buy now especially at amazon's recent 239 price.You have full control over your photo's from apature to ISO. It gives you all the bell's and whistles and lets you shoot in RAW. Raw lets you take a beautiful picture and make it even better in a program such as Photoshop. The S100 takes spectacular photo's for a compact camera, I was amazed how good they were. You won't find anything better at the current reduced price. I noticed that if you turn the GPS off your battery life is much better. Why spend 150 more for the newer S110 when other than WIFI there's really little difference. I love it!

I intended getting an s100 for my wife as a Christmas present, but could not find it in stock anywhere. I ended up getting her an s95. We both love the s95. We took a few hundred pictures over the holidays and are very happy with the results; mostly indoor shots of our children. I was pleasantly surprised by the responsiveness of the s95. I read a handful of reviews stating the performance was below average. When I press the button the shutter seems almost instantaneous, even with the flash.Last week I found an s100 at Best Buy. I assumed it was an s95 with better video and zoom. My s95 was still within return policy so I purchased the S100. After taking about 200 shots I knew the S100 was not for me. While it does have better video and zoom, these do not offset all the disadvantages compared to the s95. First the LCD screen is very dull. The s95's LCD is bright and vibrant, and very visible in low-light. I can barely see the LCD on the s100 in low-light. Also, if you zoom on the s100 and move it to track a subject the LCD becomes a blurry mess. The LCD on the S95 stays relatively clear when tracking a subject.The deal breaker for me was indoor shots with moderate light. I suspect (going by reviews) the s100 does better at ISO 1600 and above, but I almost never go above 400. I found the pictures on the s95 to be sharper and have better color under the same conditions. The difference was not significant, but the s100 should at least been on par since it cost over $120 than the s95. The s95 also fired faster when using the flash. I found the s95 more responsive under all conditions (except burst mode).I do like the design of the S100, but the build quality seems below the s95. The s95 feels very solid while the s100 more hollow. The added rubber on the front and back is a welcome addition to the s100. It definitely helps your grip when shooting with one hand.Overall I am just disappointed. I was so excited about getting the S100. I thought it was going to be exactly what I wanted after using the s95. If the s100 was about $250 I think it would be a decent value, but $429 is ludicrous. If you are looking for a compact camera with close to professional quality get the s95 while you still can. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I am not exchanging it for another. It's going back to Best Buy. I still have the s95 and plan for it to stay with me and my wife for many years to come.
