Bought this camera on black Friday 9 months ago and it has worked great so far taking a few thousand pictures and videos. The camera does VERY well in low light conditions for being a fit-in-your-pocket camera. The GPS feature works OK, it does drain the battery faster though.

Some of the reviews I've read make it sound like you can just put this camera in auto mode and take perfect pictures every time. After using mine for two days I can tell you that it ain't so. It is capable of taking some lovely pictures, with pleasing flesh tones and perfectly balanced lighting. But it can take some stinkers too--out of focus, yellow and overexposed (with flash and incandescent lighting). At times in an indoor setting the screen blurred annoyingly and there was a shutter delay of about 3-4 seconds, by which time the moment had passed. I love the special effects, like fisheye lens and color accent. A good camera for some but not all situations, although if you're a very knowledgable photographer and have taken the time to get familiar with all the settings then you'll probably have better results. Is it worth the money? Maybe, but not for me.I also have to agree with the complaints about battery life. After taking about 80 photos, most with flash, and 5 short videos of 5-30 seconds my battery was pretty much depleted. (Canon says camera should take about 200 photos per charge.) Video quality is generally ok, but I'll definitely stick with my Sony camcorder when I want HD video.Update: After playing with a Canon SX230HS I decided to keep the S100. It has a very solid, comfortable feel--compared to the SX230HS--and I'm getting more comfortable with the various menus and settings. For example, I can now quickly alter the white balance (which you would expect auto white balance mode to do, but it doesn't) and I've learned to use Program mode or Aperature priority mode in most situations. I've already mentioned that I love the in-camera special effects, and the slow-mo video too. Finally, compared to cameras I've had in the past there is remarkably little noise at high ISO settings. Still, for the person who just wants a quick-and-easy point and shoot that takes great photos I think the Nikon Coolpix S8200 is a better choice.

This is a feature-rich camera that takes excellent photos. I bought the underwater housing for it and use it for snorkelling and scuba as well as on land. Videos are also really nice. Hard to believe all the features built into such a small camera. Expect to spend some time learning how to use them - it's worth it.

I have both the S95 and the S100. I see a lot of disappointed reviews in the S100 but I think it's more to do with the fact that there really isn't much of an upgrade from the S95 than lack of quality in the s100. I have taken literally thousands of pictures with each camera, and they are both great. I think the S95 takes certain pictures a bit better than the S100, but also the S100 takes certain pictures better than the S95.The S100 also has the separate video record button which is a nice feature, as well as the GPS feature. The S100 has a slightly better zoom which is also nice.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 b/c i really was expecting it to be noticeably better than the S95 and it wasn't. But its still a great camera and takes amazing pictures.edit: I should add that i always use the camera in "P-mode". Do not use on Auto mode, it's complete garbage. I have no idea why Canon has this on the camera, it was horrible on the S95 and it's horrible on the S100, and it leads to most of the negative reviews on here when people don't know they shouldn't use it.Also, I almost always take pictures (of people) with the flash on. The only time i don't is when they are facing into bright direct sunlight, or if for whatever reason the flash blows them out. I would say for 90% of my people-pictures though I use the flash, even in daylight. It just makes for a better picture, i couldn't explain why but go ahead and try it, you'll be surprised of the results. If the flash is too bright, sometimes i'll back up a bit, zoom in, and try the same shot again. B/c you are backed up a couple of feet the flash will be less powerful.I typically won't use a flash when shooting scenes without people in it.

I wanted to step up from a very satisfactory experience with Canon's Powershot S3. Several excellent reviews, including David Pogue's led me in this direction rather than a SLR. The result is an amazingly compact and light camera with a very good lens. It has most of the functions available on very expensive cameras. Shooting RAW postpones a lot of the decision making for post-processing. I highly recommend it for anyone not needing the lens performance and flexibility (and inconvenience) of an SLR.My unit was early production (2011), and on a recent cruise broke down with the lens failing to retract. Canon was very responsive about fixing it; it is in for repairs and I miss having it at hand.

This is an excellent camera. Don't let the size fool you, it has just about all the features of an entry level DSLR and then some. Full control over ISO, aperture, shutter speed, focus, etc. It shoots in JPG, RAW and RAW + JPG, great for those of you who like to post process. It has a ton of nifty modes that I don't use all too often seeing as how it will only give you a jpg version, but I have a fondness for the color select mode (which does work when shooting 1080p video).There are only a few things that I don't like about the camera. First is the battery life; it doesn't last that long. If you're getting this camera it means that you want a pocketable powerhouse or you have a lot of money for a point and shoot that you'll use rarely. If you're the former, make sure you pick up an extra batter or two. I can easily go through 2 a day and was relieved that I had a third so I wouldn't have to stop taking pictures. The second con is that you have to wait for your image to write to the SD card before you can take another. Make sure you pick up a class 10 card; you do NOT want that to be your bottleneck.I've been told that a lot of professional photographers use this as a backup and I can see why. This thing fits in your pocket and you can take it everywhere. The images you get are exceptional and it gives you all the flexibility you need to capture the image. It's an expensive camera for a point and shoot, but its price matches the features. The best camera is the one you have with you. Thanks to Canon, I have this with me all the time.

This camera was available from Amazon at Christmas time for a great price. I researched all of the cameras I could find that would act as a point and shoot and also save in RAW format. This one seemed to be head and shoulders above the others, and with the great price offered was certainly the best value available. I have used it moderately so far and am very pleased.I do have one issue - getting used to the flash location where it can pop up on your finger if you hold it in the most comfortable way. I just leave the flash off until i know I am going to need it and then I'm already forewarned not to hold it so I interfere with the flash.I highly recommend this camera.

This is my handy-camera when I do not want to carry my DSLR around. I was amazed at the control and functions provided by this camera. The pictures are great when light is good. The pictures aren't too bad indoors as well as long as you have decent light. The camera is very light weight yet very customizable. I really enjoy using this camera.

Our Camera club is over 100 strong with photographers of every level and most of us have purchased a small, quick to access camera to suppplement our larger, regular equipment. I chose this camera bcause I searched for the camera of this size with "the best optics" and was advised that this was the one. I have been very pleased with the results that I get and the sharp accuracy and complete utility of the zoom lens it contains. I have had smaller units before but they were not neraly as good as this one. All of its features deliver the advertised results (FOR ME) and I recommend it highlty

Of the pocket digicams available, I like the level of control over the shot the S100 provides and I especially like the available F2.0 apperture at the wide angle (24mm). additionally, for its size, it has a larger than typical sensor which aids low light work.of course, with the S100, one can enjoy full automatic photograpy. With this camera, it is best to stick with snap shots and landscapes, leaving the action shots for your SLR. I have not yet utilized its motion picture capabilites as I consider it primarily my pocket still camera. I have had lots of fun playing with my S100 now for almost two months and carry it everywhere.

I am a semi-pro fotog, and have used many pro DSLR cameras. But when tired of carying heavy gears, this S100 point & shoot camera is the only one i need to carry. If you can save a bit more money, it's worth getting this $230 ( s100 ) camera, and you'll never have to upgrade for another 5-8 years, conservatively.I am a Nikon guy. I carry only Nikon gears, but have to vote this Canon S100 (S90, S110) as the best p&s camera i would only carry.Very light, small ( fit in your pants pocket ) and the pix it takes are sharp, even in low light condition the color is very saturated, pleasant. I own both the S90 and S100 ( S100 has a wider zoom, and 1080p video capabilities over the S90 ) Don't let Megapixel and zoom power be the judge of a camera. The end result: the picture quality enhanced to the unforgetable moments frozen in time.

I bought this to take along on a vacation and I'm glad I did. I didn't want to tote an SLR along and this camera did a stellar job. I stuffed it in my pocket when I left the hotel in the morning and went on beach walks, hikes, toured cathedrals and museums, and went to restaurants and it handled it all. The F2.0 lens allowed me to take photos in cathedrals in natural light where flashes weren't allowed and in darkly lit restaurants. Outside, daytime photos were beautiful. Put it on a tripod or flat surface and use the self-timer to get in the picture. I took a few movies too just for fun, but a dedicated vidcam would be a better choice for that.I also got this and it worked well for me:Case Logic TBC-302 FFP Compact Camera Case (Black)

Unfortunately I did not receive a memory card with the camera. When I returned the damaged camera, it had the memory card in it. So I was expecting to get the memory card as well with the new shipment. I had to spend another $30 to get a memory card.

I couldn't justify the price, at first, but I had Canon PowerShot (I think it was 880) before that my wife broke and was looking for a dissent replacement. I tested Nikon and Panasonic with similar features, and couldn't get used to them. I love the zoom wheel on the front; looks like you are a professional photographer. Very easy to use and the pictures are bright and sharp looking.I do recommend this product to anyone looking for upper quality and ease of use point-and-shoot camera.

Bought this for a trip to Germany's Christmas markets, and headed overseas without having used the new camera, so it was a learn-on-the-vacation experience. I didn't even know where the zoom button was (it's perfectly obvious, of course) or how to view my pictures (which I learned a few days into the trip). I'd been relying on my smartphone to take pictures for years, and was pleasantly surprised to see how much better the photos from a dedicated camera are. So my impulse purchase from the Deal of the Day really did turn out to be a "good deal," although I'll confess that I still haven't worked my way through the manual or used all the camera features.

I was leary of buying this camera because of the consistent reviews of lens error, but had faith in Canon because I've always had great luck with their cameras. Well, it happened to me, too! I actually bought it at Best Buy because they had an online discount that I could use buying in-store that was cheaper than everywhere else. I had the camera for only 26 days when I turned it on (last Friday) to take a picture, turned it off, then quickly turned it back on to take another picture and got the infamous lens retraction error. I was extremely upset. Especially since it was the last weekend my grandparents were in town and my cousin was in town as well. I had NO camera to take photos last weekend. Monday I went back to Best Buy with my receipt and prayers to tell them about what happened. Thank goodness I was able to return it within the 30 day period. I made it by one day!! I did NOT exchange it, but bought another Canon camera for half the price.Do NOT buy this camera!! The lens retraction error is a SERIOUS flaw. I am extremely disappointed in Canon that they would manufacture a very expensive point and shoot camera like this with this serious flaw. Did they even test out the new camera?? Another note, the battery life sucks! I got maybe 100 pictures with it being on the auto setting before it died. I barely got 45 photos using the other features/options before the battery died. I even made sure the GPS was off, but did not help sustain battery life.I would give it negative five stars if I could. Scratch this off your list unless you are willing to risk throwing away a $400 camera within a few months....and carrying around an extra battery pack.

This camera, in my opinion, isn't nearly as good as the s95. However, it does have its positives, namely its user interface, wide angle lens and aesthetics.A very surprising positive for this item, is the user interface, specifically the button layout on the back of the unit. Canon reduced the total number of buttons and moved them around. Shockingly, I immediately adjusted to the new layout and found it very hard to return the unit, mostly due to the buttons' ease. After years of Canon's old layout, I am still amazed that I adjusted in less than a week to the new layout.The unit also features a rear thumb rest and front grip, combined with a less slick and more textured finish, the unit feels much better in your hand than the s95 ever did.The s100 features a 24mm lens vs. the 28mm lens of the s95. That is a huge improvement in wide angle shooting and creating more life-like scenes.Unfortunately, that's where the good ends on this camera. For me, the biggest issue is the awful white balance of this unit. As we all know, a big selling point of this point and shoot, is the 'bright' f/2.0 aperture lens. The s95 absolutely excels in low light shots, creating nearly 'professional' quality photos. I took a series of low/ambient light shots with both cameras on the same settings, under the same conditions and the results were absolutely night and day. The shots with the s95 came out bright and light, the s100 shots came out orange and dark. With a huge adjustment to the white balance, the s100 shots looked ALMOST as good as the s95 shots. When viewed on a monitor at 100% the shots lost a large amount of clarity and contrast.Canon 'upgraded' the CCD sensor of the s95 to a CMOS sensor. Apparently they've never heard the phrase 'if it's not broken, don't fix it.' Also, if you zoom to 28mm, the aperture goes to f/2.2, which is 'dimmer' than the s95 at 28mm.With these gripes aside, the s100 is still a solid performer. It just isn't an improvement over the s95. The bottom line is that the aesthetic improvements and wide angle lens do not make up for the white balance/darkness issues when shooting in low/ambient light. Canon, you messed up on this one.
