I got tired of carrying around a DSLR on vacation in order to use manual functions easily. This camera has performed so well that I've actually stopped using my DLSR (Nikon D5000) for a lot of things. This camera is great in low light, and I love the "clicky wheel" on the front. A quality product, I couldn't be happier with this camera.

I've taken a few hundred photos with this camera so far and I like it very much. I wanted a point-n-shoot that had manual overrides for when I wanted to get creative and also a fast lens for low-light capabilities. Exposures have been mostly right on. Shutter lag, start-up time and shot to shot response are reasonably fast for this type of camera. Very good build quality and fits in the hand nicely. Many more manual capabilities than what most folks will ever need or discover. I've not even turned on the GPS, but nice to know it's there.Minor gripes are the pop-up flash but I usually keep it turned off and crank up the ISO. Battery duration is a little weak but carry a spare if you're on safari. Thanks Amazon for a great price! I have several cameras and this one (IMO) is the best point-n-shoot you can find for under $250 and I will be reaching for it often.

Lasted 5 months before it developed the infamous "lens error". Was sent in for repair at no cost (under warranty) and then it worked well for about a year. Broke again last week while on vacation due to reappearance of the "lens error". The error occurs during normal operation and is clearly a design defect. Very inconvenient to not have a camera on vacation. Canon wants $160 to repair, too much IMO for a defective product.

I purchased this camera in late Feb. I took it on vacation in April and it broke. It is the known issue of the lens jamming open. Even though my serial number is higher than the ones they say were affected, it still happened. I do NOT recommend buying the camera at all. Canon's customer service is terrible as well. I doubt I will ever buy another canon product. When I sent it in for repair they tried to charge me $160 for repair even though it's stated on their website they would repair this camera even if it is out of warranty. I sent them the invoice to get the charge removed so they will fix this camera.Stay away from this at all costs. it's just not worth it.

In general, I love Canon cameras because they are very user friendly. This camera is not only sexy looking but takes amazing quality pictures for its size. I took it on a recent European vacation and I love how its very compact. Get this if you don't want to carry a huge camera but still take nice, decent, artsy pictures. The color quality of the pictures are also very nice and vibrant. I still have yet to use all its other functions...I basically used it on auto the whole time and it was great. I'm not a camera or photo expert but this camera does just fine and I am very happy with it. I think it'll be a while before I buy my next canon.

Well I read all the reviews and this camera sounded great but it has not been 12 hours since we received the camera and we already have a "lens error". We took less than 20 shots and 1 short video. We were unable to get the camera restarted and were not able to get the lens to retract for return shipping. I thought Canon fixed this problem but I guess the didn't. I'm glad Amazon has a good return policy because we already sent it back. We are going to replace this one with the same and hope it was just a flaw, but I am having my doubts. I'll update this when we test the replacement.I'm keeping my fingers crossed because we have a few Canon products and have never had a problem with any of the other items we own.update: we decided not to take a chance on this model again and upgraded to the s110 which has excellent reviews so far. It costs a little more but we won't have to spend our vacation hoping that we don't get any lens errors.

This is the best point-and-shoot camera that can be a mini DSLR if you are an avid photographer. Perfect to carry around for casual use.

Used a Canon G9 for several years and thought it was time to upgrade to get better low light performance so I went for a micro 4/3 in the Olympus E-PL3. I used that camera for 2 months and could just tell that it wasn't happening for me. I didn't like what I was seeing in ISO's above even 400 or so. Decided to try out this S100 and could tell after a week that this was exactly what I wanted. The more I shoot with this, the more impressed I am. Took it to the Natural History Museum and shot in several rooms with very low lighting and the high ISO shots look fine even at 800. I usually shoot on Auto or P with the RAW + jpeg and that works perfectly. Plus, the fact that this little camera fits into a shirt pocket, can't be beat. It's just like taking out an additional iPhone. I have no complaints.UPDATE: Like some others, I too had that lens error issue. The lens got stuck in the open position. Canon took care of it just fine but it was a pain to search their site for the information regarding the return/repair of the unit. What irks me about this issue is that the same thing happened to my wife's point and shoot Canon of a different model. With that one, it wasn't within the warranty so I looked online for a solution and one site said to just give the lens a "whack" on to something sturdy but cushioned. Figured I had nothing to lose so tried it and it worked. But, I got that camera a full year before this S100 and figured Canon knew about this problem but still let the production lines roll with this issue. I still like my S100 but am going with Sony and Panasonic for my next couple cameras. I've been using Canon gear for the past 30 years+ but a few things with them have irked me and I don't like what I see with them. Before this issue, I had a 5 star rating but had to drop it down by 2 stars. 2 recent point-and-shoots and 2 lens errors after about a year of ownership with both and we're talking serious issues. It might be engineered obsolescence with Canon? I wouldn't put it past them.

I bought it during Black Friday. It was a steal. I like the size and its GPS function. The reason why I did not give it a 5 star is because it froze on me once and I had to delete all my photos for it to work again.

It it almost impossible to take a bad picture with this camera. Very easy to use as a point and shoot and still has enough capabilities if you want to shoot in manual mode.

I use my cameras professionally, although I am not a professional photographer. I purchased this camera to use in lieu of my Nikon D90 for taking "before" photos of homes I am going to stage or design. The Nikon is great and I have a fantastic lens, but sometimes I don't need to use the big guns. This camera is lightweight and easy to use. I chose this camera because it takes great shots in really low light and it has a wider than normal lens for a point and shoot (f/2.0 and 24mm lens for those of you that know what I'm talking about). I've used this camera many times for work and took it with me on a recent trip to Shanghai and Beijing. It performed flawlessly and I'm very happy with my purchase.

I own a S95 (and a Nikon D300) and I'm buying this camera mainly for mom who wants to upgrade her old camera.I love my S95, so I had great confidence that Canon would deliver a great successor. So, without playing much with the S100 myself, I hand over the camera to my mom, and expect her to be able to take great pictures by herself as I have done with my S95 in my daughter's birthday party -- indoor.First shot, auto mode, flash pops up, click, picture over-exposed. My first though was that my mom's hand must be blocking the exposure light sensor. So, try again. Still over-exposed! Ok, this time I try it myself, over-exposed. Hmmm..., 4 feet away from the subject might be a little too close. OK, try again. 3 meter away, what!!! Over-exposed again! Luckily, I still brings my S95 (wife use) and D300 (I use).Go home. I looked up all settings under auto mode. There is no control for exposure under auto mode. Ok, how about flash? There is red-eye correction and red-eye lamp. The point is, there is no control for flash intensity. I take a snap of my living room. Again, flash pops up and picture over-exposed -- this time, it's at least 3 stops over the correct exposure. I bring out my S95 to compare -- same auto mode settings, flash pops up, click, and picture looks great! I can't believe it! This is the most basic function that must work! Let me try again... in "P" mode everything was default (after a "reset all") -- set to auto flash, half click, flash pops up, full click, flash fired, picture looks great!Ok, so it's at least not a hardware bug in Canon's part -- the flash intensity did not stuck at high, but is that good enough? No way! How can Canon let this basic function slip through quality control?Luckily, Amazon has great return policy. S100 is going back to Canon. I'm eying at Nikon P310 now, anybody?Potential buyers beware!

This camera is light-years ahead of the one we had for the past 5 years. If you haven't purchased a new point-and-shoot in the past few years, don't even think about spending more money until you try this one out. Indoor low-light performance was important to me and I was not disappointed. Auto is not always the best, so learn about some of the modes that best suit the conditions you find yourself in the most often. Couldn't be happier for the price.

Got this camera as an anniversary gift. Didn't work straight out of the box - LCD screen totally black (power button on, menu on, screen black, pictures black). Unfortunately we were out of the country on holiday and missed the amazon 14 day return policy. Canon was great about the repair - I sent it in to the canon repair in Surrey, and they returned it in a couple of weeks supposedly fixed. It worked for a couple of weeks great. Then we went on holiday to the US to celebrate our engagement party. We arrived only to find, guess what, the camera wasn't working again. Same fault behavior - black screen. We had to take our engagement party pix with an iPhone! so furious and sad, I'll never get that day back or a chance to reshoot those memories. When I called Canon, the guy I spoke to said that usually if your camera goes faulty 3 times in 1 year, they will give you a new one, but since mine broke twice in two months, they'd probably replace it anyway. So I sent it in with high hopes and a long letter. Just got it back, it has a couple of more parts replaced. No comment, apology, and certainly not a replacement. I'll never be able to travel with this thing without a backup Nikon or Sony, or trust it to work when I need it. I've been a canon owner since I was 18 but never again. Enormous, enfuriating waste of time and money. Canon needs to realize they're not just dealing with a defective product, but people's special moments and memories. Buyers Beware!!

I have the S100, had the S95 and S90 before it and took magnificent images with both S90 and S95. I'm a professional photographer, have both a Canon 5D and 5D2 and many high end L lenses. I've had many Canon Elphs before the S series as well as various G series bodies.The S90 was a spectacular camera, the S95 improved on it and I was very much looking forward to this camera because of improvements with ergonomics and the extra 4mm in wide angle at 24mm. In fact, I find distortion on the edges of 24mm unacceptable and have zoomed to 28 for much of what I've done with this camera.I have not taken a sharp picture yet with this camera and I have plenty of experience with both this line of cameras and with photography in general. I don't know what's causing the blurriness, probably not the CMOS sensor, more likely the lens, but I agree with others giving this camera a less than wonderful review that the IQ in the S100 is not up to snuff. It may be a copy to copy issue, I don't know.Time will tell if this is a copy to copy issue (a few bad apples) or something affecting all copies of this camera. I do know that I'm not going to keep the copy I have, I'm returning it and have ordered (re-ordered) an S95 as they're quite inexpensive now at $229.If Canon comes out with a statement about this and explains that it was a few bad apples I'll re buy the camera in a second, it's exactly the camera I want and if the IQ is just as good as the S90 and S95 I'll be happy as the ergonomics have improved considerably.Update:I ordered a second copy of this camera from Amazon and the problems of the first are completely gone. I'm guessing it's a problem copy to copy with some lenses.I particularly like having a 24mm lens in this camera and the extra 4mm of wide are very meaningful for what I use this camera for (hiking, landscape images). It's macro mode allows closer focusing than the S95, it will shoot at higher ISO with less noise, or, another way to put that is at the same ISO it exhibits less noise than the S95. The ergonomics of the buttons and case have been improved considerably and I'm now quite happy with this camera. I was able to buy (re-buy) an S95 for $229 on Amazon when they were discounted heavily during the holidays and I'll keep that camera as a travel backup but I plan to use the S100 as my primary hiking and travel camera now, the images I'm getting from it are excellent.

We upgraded from the ELPH when we were going to Iceland on vacation. The camera takes amazing photos! Truly professional quality. And all I used was the point and click as I didn't have time to read up on all the camera abilities. And it fits in your pocket- minimal lugging.

I've always had bad luck with cameras. Downstairs there's an old dead Canon Powershot, before that my first camera was one of the AA-powered Canons (A250 rings a bell). Neither of those took impressive pictures by any stretch of the imagination. Last year I decided that the fault must lie with Canon, and so I made the regrettable mistake of buying a Casio EX-ZR100. From all those experiences, I figured I'd never buy a camera ever again.But now Christmas has rolled around, and in shopping I stumbled upon this thing for $180 off: same price I paid for the Casio and last Canon. I decided to make the plunge, hoping that the larger sensor size would keep away the horrible image quality that I've always suffered.It has. I've taken only a few test photos, but I'm already in love. The larger sensor means that everything comes out very very crisp. General shady-room pictures come out clean and noiseless. The pictures themselves are very well compressed (less than half the file size of the Casio at the same resolution). Color recreation is much more accurate than I'm used to.This camera has renewed my faith in Canon!

To be honest, I have 4 of these. Canon PowerShot S series are of great quality and value for money. They produce great pictures with small loss of quality as compared with DSLRs and at a fraction of the prices. I do underwater photography, and have invested quite a bomb on the housing, as such, I have purchased a number of spares for this model. I would also like to add that Andoroma (not sure if I have spell it right) delivers fast. I like their service.

I am not going to talk about the photo quality because I have barely been able to use it.After a few uses, being in Europe, the lens stop working. It seems that some of the serial numbers come with this problem and I got it repaired for free (not really free because the camera problem cost me the price of buying a camera in Europe so I could have some pictures of my trip). Ok.I send it to canon, I get it back and it is working. Or I thought so. The very first time I take it out again, the cover of the lens stop working. I am not even sure if I am going to send it to repair again.I am so disappointed. I was expecting more from canon.

The quality of pictures is excellent. There are many things on this camera that I have not mastered. It really does more than I needed and would like to find someplace I could take lessons. I don't have the patience to figure it out on my own. It seems a little complicated for me. I can only take photos and videos. Can't understand the GPS on it.

And I ordered another one just like it because I loved it so much. But then I returned it because my photographer friend had me buy a Nikon Coolpix 510 locally off Craig's list for the same price. I love all the things I can do with the Nikon, but I miss carrying my camera in my pocket. I love the zoom I have on the Nikon and the ability to have control on the speed and light of how the photos are taken, but I miss carrying my camera in my pocket. So if you are an amateur photographer, this Canon PowerShot is great. My grand daughter has one and loves it, but now she takes photos with her iPhone. I love my Nikon, and I'm still learning how to carry it, but now I also carry a tripod, so what's a camera? This is one of those, I'm in a dilemma reviews! Even my photographer friend takes more photos with his iPhone (but he's also retired now) but on the other hand, he has his tripod and Nikon very handy. Photography is definitely a kind of drug!
