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 builtin flash, Some features aren't as easily accessible as we'd like
Take into account the superb handling, impressive image quality – particularly at high ISOs – slick, detailed Full HD video, plus a responsive, accurate GPS system, and you have the recipe for a pretty remarkable camera that you can take anywhere.
Excellent build, great design and handling, Settings control rings can be customised, Picture quality up to 800 ISO or even 1600 ISO, Manual mode and RAW mode, 1080p HD video with stereo sound and optical zoom
Edges of the frame aren't as sharp at wideangle settings, Heavy distortion in RAW shots at wideangle settings, Aperture soon drops as you zoom (f/2 for wideangle, f/5.9 for telephoto), Limited battery life (200 photos or less with GPS active)
The Canon PowerShot S100 is a camera that's great to use, with plenty of advanced functions and handling that's sometimes worthy of an SLR. What's more, it takes high-quality pictures and videos. It's just a shame that the lens isn't a little more cons...
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
Excellent pictures, small size, great design, GPS technology and 1080p HD movie are all plus points. Occasional close-focusing issues, a high price and no hotshoe are the only criticisms that we do have. Otherwise the S100 makes good on its promise to ...
Slimmer than past models, Higher resolution with slightly better light sensitivity, GPS radio syncs clock, shows where images are captured on bundled map software, 5x stabilized lens covers 24-120mm equivalent, 1080p video, Camera autofocuses while sho...
Costs US$30 more than predecessor, Slight buzz is audible when zooming during video recording, Full HD video at 24p only, 24mm lens can cause distortion in people pictures, Somewhat soft corners at wide angle, Weak flash (common in compacts), Autofocus...
At first the Canon S100 seems pretty similar to its predecessors. It certainly looks similar, despite the few cosmetic accents that don't appeal to me personally. Its odd color and strange grip put me off at first, but as I continued to use it and fles...

Better design that makes it easier to hold and use than previous models, 1080p HD video with optical zoom and a onetouch direct movie button, builtin GPS for geotagging images, longer, more useful 5x zoom lens with wide angle of 24mm, excellent image qual
Disappointingly slow to use, f/2 aperture only achievable at wide angle, expensive
In short, while the S100 is still a pretty sweet compact camera with excellent image quality, an improved design and a bunch of great new features, its high asking price and disappointingly slow performance make this camera a real head-scratcher. Yes, it'...
Full manual controls and RAW shooting, * Superb feature set for any level of photographer, * Excellent image quality, * 1080p and superslow-motion video modes,
Short battery life, especially when GPS is used, * Sluggish RAW shooting and flash-recycling times

The Canon PowerShot S100 is just about the most capable compact camera we've seen, and it's packed with features that will please both novices and advanced shooters. Images (click to enlarge) Canon PowerShot S100 Review: A Near-Perfect Pocket Camera...
While the S100 supersedes the S95 in Canon's high-end digital compact lineup and bears a strong family resemblance to the earlier camera, it represents a fairly substantial upgrade rather than a more measured progression. Continuous shooting rates are fa...
