Appearance/Size/Form FactorCompared to other cameras in the "advanced compact" category, the S95 is tiny. The S95 can easily slip into your pants pocket without anyone asking you "is that a camera in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?". If a compact camera body is one of your major requirements, the S95 should be at the top of your list.One plus the S95 has over its predecessor (the S90) is its textureized body. The S90 felt like a wet bar of soap which is not a characteristic I look for in a camera. This rubbery/grippy texture allows the user to gain a sold grip on the camera which is important when dealing with a camera this small. The S95 feels good in your hand although I do wish it had more of a physical grip similar to the Panasonic LX-5; I assume Canon decided against a grip to keep the body as slim and sleek as possible. I'm not too worried about the lack of grip as there are a few third party options to remedy this complaint e.g. Richard Franiec's custom grip.I'm not sure what people consider a good looking camera, but the S95 looks good to me. The all black body with silver lettering is a color scheme that should be familiar to most. The display takes up the majority of the real-estate on the back of the camera which is a good thing because it is a pleasure to use. Colors are bright and blacks look decent as well. My only complaint with the display, which is common among most point and shoot cameras, is it easily becomes washed out in bright sunlight. This is when I really wish Canon had offered an optional EVF for the S95.ControlsEasy access to controls is where the S95 really jumps ahead of the competition. I hate digging through levels of menus or having to cycle down a list of features just to change the ISO. Give me physical buttons! Luckily there are two dials on the S95, one in the front and one in the back of the camera. These dials allow the user to easily change the most frequently needed settings.Like it's older sibling, the S95 has a control ring around the lens which gives you quick access to settings like aperture, shutter speed, focal length, etc. The control ring has default settings based on which mode you are in but the control ring's function can easily be changed by a physical button on the top of the camera.On the back of the back of the camera is another function ring. By default, this ring is setup to manage the functions which are available by pushing on the top, bottom, left and right or the ring. I would say 99% of the time I use this ring to manage exposure compensation. The other 1% of the time it is used to manage shutter speed while I'm in Manual mode…I prefer to shoot in Aperture Priority when using the S95.Along with the dials is a programmable button on the back of the camera which can be assigned by the user; I have mine set to pull up the ISO. This can be set to a myriad of different functions like white balance or file type, but I find that setting this to ISO really gives me quick access to the essentials for getting a solid exposure.FeaturesLike any new camera, there are a million features that the S95 brings to the game. I could list them all here, but you would probably have better luck looking at a product page. To keep it short, I'll list a few of my favorite features of this camera:ISO max for auto ISO: Most new advanced point and shoot cameras have an auto ISO setting. The problem with this is not all of them give you a limit as to how high the camera will go when choosing an ISO setting. Thankfully, the S95 does. I personally like to set my ISO manually, but this is a nice feature if you are a beginner or if you just want to shoot and not worry about settings.Interval timer with shot # selection: This is something I wish my old 5D had. Not only can you select the shutter timer duration, you can also select how many shots in succession the S95 will take after the timer goes off. I could see this feature being helpful for family portraits or landscapes.Bright Lens: With a bright f/2.0 lens and IS, the S95 works surprisingly well in low-light conditions. I would like to see the aperture values stay on the brighter end as you move through the zoom range, sadly…this is not the case. I'm drooling over the newly announced Olympus XZ-1′s lens.In camera HDR: HDR seems to be all the rage right now and most manufactures are adding some sort of "built in" solution. Well, Canon has jumped on the bandwagon by adding in-camera HDR. Results are pretty good, nothing you would get by using a program like Photomatrix, but there are limitations. The biggest got'cha is you have to use a tripod to get best results. I don't know about you, but I do not carry around a tripod when using a P&S. Sony has figured out how to do this without a tripod (NEX series) so I'd like to see Canon work this out for their next model.Picture QualityI've had quite the time trying to determine how good the IQ is of the S95. Without fancy tests that I do not have access to, I can really only rely on my eye when it comes to IQ. You can't compare it to a M4/3rd system because they have a much larger sensor so it wouldn't be fair. But you also can't compare the S95 to a basic point and shoot camera because it has a much larger sensor and the S95 costs about double what you would pay for a mid-range P&S. Honestly, I would say the IQ falls right where it should, in between a basic P&S and M4/3rd setup. [...].For me, the S95 produces perfectly good images. I usually shoot RAW but the JPEG images are so good from the S95 that I find myself shooting more and more in JPEG. Distortion is present at both ends of the zoom range but it's nothing that can't be cleaned up with a little post processing if needed.Likes * Small, easily pocketable size * Physical buttons and dials for controling basic camera functions * Menus are intuitive and well thought out * RAW capability – not all compacts can match this…that was for you Nikon and your P300. What were you thinking!?! * Good picture quality * Focus speed. I'm actually pretty impressed with this little camera's ability to focus. This quickly goes down hill as light becomes less available but this is the case with most cameras.Dislikes * While IQ is good, I personally think it can't quite match it's Micro 4/3rd competitors. I really miss my GF-1 when it comes to overall IQ. M4/3rds has the S95 beat on all fronts (image noise, dynamic range, image detail, etc.) * Price. I understand this is an advanced point and shoot but dropping $400 on a P&S is tough. * The Lens. Don't get me wrong, f/2.0 is great but it would be nice if the aperture values didn't start to skyrocket as you zoomed to longer focal lengths. The LX-5 and the newly announced XZ-1 prove it is doable…get on it Canon.ConclusionAnyone looking for a truly pocketable camera with full manual controls and decent IQ need look no further…this is the camera for you. It's direct competitors are not truly pocketable…unless you have abnormally large pockets. I tried the LX-5…no dice on getting that into my jeans. And you can forget about fitting a M4/3rd system into your pocket. Yes, you will have to sacrifice on a few things but no camera is perfect. If camera size and physical controls are paramount on your list of requirements, then the S95 is your camera. If other requirements top your list like a large constant aperture, then something else like the LX-5 or XZ-1 may be a better choice for you.

I use this when I am on the go camping or other where I cannot carry my backpack.I love the size.I do not love the results I get. I had hopped my wife could get good results on auto but nope! Even in auto and decent light she would get blury photos.My initial feelings for this camera were very high as it had so many features similar as my SLR and I initially reviewed it quite high at B&H. However as I have used it for over a month now my 5 or 4 star rating is more like a 2. Why such a drastic drop? First the rating dropped from a 3 to a 2 because I feel more ripped off by the [$] cost as I see the problems this expensive camera has and they really are inexcusable. Some may say they are caused bue user error. Simply not the case.Here is a short laundry list of the problems I have ran on to that I did not see at first.1. When videoing the video will have some ghosting image go across the screen – the camera is not hot not the environment hot either. 2. The camera will randomly insert a date stamp as you take pictures. With the same settings without any changes to the settings whatsoever one picture will have a DS and the very next will not. I hate DS and do not prefer to remove them. IF you like DS it is still a bad thing because it apparently will turn off on you too maybe.3. Rapid shoot is atrociously slow – for [$] you should get at least 3/second even in RAW format4. I specifically have the camera set up for spot focus in the center of the camera and it will take blurry photos and when it does this it messes up the exposure generally also.5. The flash is on the most obnoxious place ever and when others have used the camera that is the first thing they say about the camera.6. The stereo microphones are in very bad places at the bottom of the camera and since the camera is so small (good thing though) you can't help but cover them with a finger or two as you hold it. By far if video recording use a pod of some kind. I still like the camera but if I had it to do over again I would go with a different camera. It is absolutely not worth[$]

Comments about Canon PowerShot S95 Digital Camera:
We purchased the S95 to use it underwater but the build quality, excellent lens and great sensor have made it the perfect addition to our other cameras. We weren't looking for the perfect "walking around" camera when we purchased it but we found it anyway. For underwater use a slightly more wide angle lens, say 24mm vs. the S95 28mm, would have been nice but it's a very small issue and certainly one we will not worry about given the excellent price.

Pros: I have had a few point and shoot cameras and the Canon PowerShot S95 Digital Camera takes excellent pictures in low light. It is also fun to capture pictures using the selection of automated options. This camera is also excellent in capturing close up objects/subjects. I had fun playing around with different exposures while practicing by snapping images from my Christmas lights and ornaments on our tree.
Con: I wish they would have placed the flash pop up someplace different for while you are holding the camera and the auto-flash pops up, my fingers are always on top of it and causes me to have to refocus.

Comments about Canon PowerShot S95 Digital Camera:
I'm a Nikon shooter when it comes to pro-level cameras, but I have to give Canon a big pat on the back for its point-and-shoots. This is the third one I've owned and they just keep getting better. Started with an A550 in 2005 and bought my lady friend an SD1300 that's fun to use (but since it's pink, I try to leave it for her. Guess I'm not all that secure with that kind of thing, huh?)
I read many reviews and was leaning toward the G12, but liked the size of the S95 better. The reviews seemed better than the newer S100, too. I've used it for several weeks now and while the ergonomics are still a little cumbersome, I'm getting more familiar with where the buttons and features are. Only real problem is continually putting my left forefinger on top of the pop-up flash, but since I rarely use flash, it's not that big of a deal. I'll learn! And speaking of flash, having two stops plus and minus worth of flash exposure is thrilling!
I shoot the camera in program mode most of the time to control the flash so I like the ability to assign certain functions to the buttons or the ring at the base of the lens -- that makes accessing certain often-used features more quickly when needed. I set white balance and particularly custom WB often, and it's a breeze. Plus seeing the changes on the LCD are most helpful.
I really like how this camera feels and works and am glad I bought it! Just wish it had a real viewfinder. Yes, kids, we geezers need viewfinders!

While this camera takes lovely stills, in low light and otherwise, there are lots of other cameras that do this as well AND TAKE VIDEOS THAT ARE IN FOCUS.
***YOU CANNOT FOCUS WHILE TAKING VIDEO***
So if your subject MOVES, the shot turns into a blurry mess. So, that kind of takes away the whole point in making a MOViE, doesn't it?

I'm an avid photographer of 33 years' experience. I'm getting weary of dragging my DSLR and lenses everywhere, but even more weary of missing great photos when I do. The Canon S95 is the answer. I use this camera as both a backup to my DSLR and as a carry-around camera for every situation. I rarely leave home without it.
This little powerhouse produces outstanding images: sharp, clear, and colorful. It's especially adept at producing ambient, low-light images. It shoots RAW images as well as JPEGs and can be set anywhere from fully automatic and fully manual and everywhere in between. The powerful little zoom will take care of nearly any shot from a landscape or cramped interior to a beautiful portrait. Perhaps my favorite feature is the customizable control ring that can be set for almost any adjustment, including focus. I use mine for +/- EV settings.
The camera's tiny stature, making it truly a pocket camera that you can take anywhere, shouldn't fool you: This camera is a powerhouse. And its lens is as sharp as a tack, which may not be true for other cameras, including the S95's successor.

Currently own a Canon 50D DSLR. I was looking for a good point-and-shoot style camera with some manual controls for the occasions I did not want to carry my big camera. Image quality and low light shooting is great on the S95. Very satisfied with the purchase. The only con I may have is that when the flash is needed it pops up right where I am holding the camera. Not a biggie, just have to get used to it.

Comments about Canon PowerShot S95 Digital Camera:
Great image quality. I often carry it in my pocket. I can shoot in raw and jpeg so I can decide if I want to pump up an image later. Works the best I've seen in a smaller camera; over the years I've shot with point and shoots from Nikon, Fuji, Lumix, canon, but this beats them all. I'm excited about the new s100, although it's hard to believe they can improve on the s95. Stand next to youf friends at night, turn off your flash, take a few photos, then compare your shots with theirs; they will ask why your shots look better than theirs. I should add that I'm a professional who primarily works with the full-frame D700.

Great small camera.
I do own Canon 5D MKII with a lot of lenses but I was tired taking it everywhere. I wanted something 'pocketable'. And here it is! Canon S95.
There is only 2 things You have to be aware taking pics with it:
- camera likes to overexposure a bit, but it is easily fixable
- camera flash is in the place where You have finger on and it uses small motor to open/close. You have to be careful with it. Also camera flash is... well... very small and not so powerful.
But for 'pocketability' and tons of options it is camera which I take everywhere and I am very happy with all results.
