Full manual controls ; Lens control ring ; Good image quality

So-so battery life ; Modest lens reach ; GPS function is buried

Very good image quality, especially at low ISO settings ; Well optimized JPEGs, low contrast detail is well-preserved at low ISO settings ; Automatic fringing/CA correction in JPEGs ; Fast operation ; Bright LCD screen is easy to see in daylight ;...

Manual focus preview resolution is too low to be useful ; Lack of in-camera alignment of HDR images makes it a much less useful feature than it could be ; Auto ISO is limited to 1600 (wasting two stops of extra ISO sensitivity) ; Pop-up flash can be...

For photographers who like to take control over their cameras the S100 provides a near DSLR-like level of manual control in an easily pocketable 'take-anywhere' camera.

Fantastic image quality ; Fast performance ; Tons of manual controls ; Upgraded internals from the S95

Expensive ; Images are slightly inferior to the S95 ; Relatively short battery life

If pure image quality is what you want, the S95 is still a better camera

Sharp, fast lens. Very good low-light performance. Fast recycle time. Raw shooting support.

Pricey. LCD is not best in class. No hot shoe.

Performance and Conclusions The S100 performed admirably in our speed tests. The camera takes 2.3 seconds to start up and grab a shot, and can capture another photo every half second in continuous shooting mode. Shutter lag measured at only 0.3 second,...

Great build quality ; Responsive GPS system ; Superb image quality – particularly when shooting raw ; Excellent manual control over settings ; Very impressive performance at high ISOs

Launch price is a little steep ; Limited control over the built-in flash ; Some features aren't as easily accessible as we'd like

With a growing demand for ever-smaller, more sophisticated digital cameras, camera manufacturers have to push the boundaries to vie for consumers' hard-earned cash.

All the stuff that made its predecessors great, with some nice new features like GPS and full HD video. CMOS sensor uses tech from Canon’s DSLR line

More camera than many need; and perhaps less than pros would demand. Dedicated movie button on backside eliminates one photo control

Tiny size, light weight, strong metallic case, looks (these add up to portability) Automatic lens cover Fairly good image quality (though not breathtaking at 100%), good colour balance Super-Fine JPEG mode for TIFF quality at half the size Nice easy to...

Still got that "Canon" slightly cool / under saturated look to images Some visible noise on flat areas No support for CF Type II (probably a battery limit) Moiré pattern / early detail aliasing at distances Very limited low-light abilities Small flash...

Here's my rating of the Canon Digital Ixus: (2 megapixel ultra compact class)

Great pictures, biggest zoom in category, more control than S95

Poor close-focusing, very expensive, no hotshoe for viewfinder or extra flash, 200 shots per charge

There’s not much the S100 can’t do. We love the picture quality, the small size, that front lens ring with customisable shooting modes and the GPS technology. FlexiZone AF and the new grip also right the S95’s wrongs.

The Canon Powershot S100 is priced in India at a MOP of Rs. 25,000. This camera is built really well and feels extremely sturdy. Feature-wise it has some improvements over its predecessor, like the larger sensor, 1080p video capabilities, increased...
