Canon Powershot S100 Review

The PowerShot S100 is a sophisticated pocket-friendly point-and-shoot digital camera that has the power advanced users and enthusiasts need to create standout images. As with other PowerShot cameras, the compact Canon S100 incorporates all of the advanced Canon technologies that make capturing superb photos and video as easy as pressing a button. As automatic or manual as you need it to be, the PowerShot S100 is a serious photographic tool, which incorporates the Canon HS SYSTEM, now featuring the new DIGIC 5 Image Processor.  The fast f/2.0 lens helps you tackle unfavorable lighting and capture breathtaking portraits with beautiful, shallow depth-of-field. 12.1 Megapixels ensure crisp, richly detailed images, and a 5x Optical Zoom provides an excellent all-around range to shoot near or far.

Canon Powershot S100 Review
Externally the new S100 resembles its predecessor, but features many more changes than the previous S95 did over the S90. Most notably the 28-105mm 3.8x zoom of the S90 and S95 has been upgraded to a new 24-120mm 5x range while maintaining the fast f2.0 aperture when zoomed-out. The earlier 10 Megapixel CCD sensor of the S90 and S95 has been switched for a new 12 Megapixel CMOS sensor with Canon's HS designation for improved low-light performance. The image processor has also been upgraded from DIGIC 4 to DIGIC 5, and you now have the chance to adjust the noise reduction on JPEGs.

The Canon PowerShot S100 looks a great deal like its predecessor from the outside: it's a fairly compact camera with a lens housing that protrudes a little from the body, but not so much to cause unsightly bulges in your pocket. Compare the specifications and you'll see the S100 (at 99x60x26.7mm including protrusions) is 2mm taller than the S95, but 1mm narrower lengthways. The main bodies share a similar thickness of 22mm, but the lens housing on the S100 actually protrudes a little less than the S95, making it a good two or three mm thinner and a little more pocket-friendly; not bad considering the longer lens range within. Meanwhile the weight is essentially the same with the S100 weighing 198g including battery compared to 193g for the S95.

Canon did an excellent job updating its S-series line with the Canon PowerShot S100 , bringing additional features, improved high-ISO/low-noise performance, and very good image quality. As a result, this camera is the perfect companion for anyone interested in manual shooting, as well as people who would rather let the automated settings do the work. However, at $430, it’s certainly pricier than your average camera. You might want to check prices on the Canon PowerShot S95 before it disappears from retailer shelves, especially if you don’t need the S100’s wider-angle lens, GPS, or 1080p video capabilities.
