Lots of flexibility. Reasonable price.

Pros: Small (but not tiny); usually simple Canon controls; easy to set up; many available settings; high-quality point-and-shoot photos. Flexible options from automatic to fully manual. Low light opportunities are better than small soap dishes. Good manual (electronic, no paper). Many inexpensive cases are available. Cons: Poor low-light capability (but neither camera lives up to its claims). Neutral: Reliable since purchase on Black Friday 2012. bad deal). A pocket camera only if you have bigโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 12.1 effective megapixels, 1/1.73 inch high-sensitivity CMOS sensor
Cons
  • Seniors

Amazing Canon S100: digital cameras

I don't usually write reviews, but this camera continues to delight me as I try its many features. I was a little worried about the many issues people were having with LENS ERROR, but I decided to take a chance in February 2013 when the price dropped to $250. I received a 46XX camera by serial number with firmware version 1.01. I've updated to the latest firmware 1.02 with no issues that the firmware is supposed to fix. I noticed that the automatic mode in the new firmware is more responsiveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Full HD 1080p video with stereo sound
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Overall an improvement

I think you've read reviews complaining about the lack of image sharpness on some examples of this camera. I suggest reading the detailed review on dpreview.com which is a bit more impartial and objective than some of the negative reviews here. (This is natural. Someone who has spent money on a camera and is disappointed will react less objectively than a reviewer testing four sample cameras, comparing image quality and not spending money on any of them.) Personally, I'm pleased with that Lensโ€ฆ

Pros
  • DIGIC 5 image processor
Cons
  • Long wait

A nice addition to my birdwatching camera

I recently bought a Canon S100 compact camera to take with me when birdwatching. I usually use a Canon SLR (50D, 7D ), 500mm f/4L IS USM and a 1.4x teleconverter Since this rig is quite big and heavy, I tried to find a good solution for shooting non-bird subjects like landscapes/paintings/habitats , people, buildings and whatever else I come across and that the 500mm lens is not good for taking pictures. I started buying an EF-s 10-22mm lens for it but found that I really like the wide angleโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 3" TFT color LCD with wide viewing angle
Cons
  • boring packaging
