Cons of the S95
HD video is only 720dpi although this is adquate for most of us. Canon seem to have concentrated on low light picture quality rather than overly technical HD imaging
No auto focus whilst in video mode, if you are going to be taking a lot of video this may cause you to re-think.
The flash has a tendency to pop out if you place your fingers in the way. This can be annoying if you are taking a lot of shots.
Conclusion:
The Powershot S95 is possibly one of the best point and shoot cameras available at the moment and the quality of the images it takes will take some beating.
Canon Powershot S95 Buyer Reviews: (Edited for space full reviews available at the link)
Amazon Fan: "I'm in love with this camera. I won't go into details about picture quality because it's as good as its predecessor; there are examples all over the Internet. And of course the S95's 720 HD video is a big improvement over the standard video of the S90. "
Amit: "I got this camera to replace my Canon SD880. I had considered getting the S90 but decided to wait to see if they fixed some of its usability issues. With the S95, they have."
Frank: "The Canon S95 is perfect size for me. It takes great pictures and the macro works perfect. "
Powershot S95 v Panasonic LX5?
The LX5 wins on the size of the ccd chip and has a quicker focus, wider angle lens and a hotshoe but I need low level light image quality and a compact size so the S95 is the one for me.
This is, after all a point and shoot camera so the ability to stick it in your pocket for those chance shots is important.
