The image quality is outstanding. At ISO400 there is little evidence of noise and no noise reduction effects at all. Resolved detail is impressive, so the boost to 12 megapixels doesn't seem to have consequences for picture quality.
The battery goes flat very quickly if you forget to turn off the GPS function. A warning pops up on the screen to advise that GPS continues to drain the battery even when the camera is off. Take care! The Getting Started manual is absolutely useless
This is an outstanding compact camera. It fits easily in a pocket and yet feels rugged enough to stand a little careless handling. The function control ring around the lens is most useful for instant exposure compensation — every camera should have it. Wi...
Abstract: Read later Canon has broken with the top-quality compact mob with the S100, increasing the megapixel count to 12 and boosting the zoom range to 5X (24mm-120mm film equivalent). After Panasonic startled the world with the LX3, with its modest zoom an...
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, $549
Canon did an excellent job updating its S-series line with the 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 s...
Abstract: Canon has taken one of its most successful digicams, the PowerShot S95, and upgraded it with a new sensor and image processor, longer zoom lens and better ergonomics to produce the PowerShot S100. It's also reduced the price by $50 and added a GPS receive...
Excellent image quality. Design refinements from previous model. Control ring is lots of fun. Bright f/2.0 lens
Performance still isn't best in class. Only basic GPS implementation. Battery could last longer
Canon has given its top-end pocket camera a nip and tuck to make it shine even brighter than before. The S100 is a proficient do-it-all camera with a range of features like GPS to keep photographers happy....
Abstract: It’s easy to dismiss Canon’s S100 as just another small little compact amid a vast ocean of choice. You would be seriously mistaken though.Although there are a number of high-end compacts available, none quite match the amount of cool features crammed ...
With its great image quality and pro handling, the Canon S100 is one of the best compact cameras of the year.We'd almost recommend it unreservedly for the casual user who just wants a compact that takes great photos, especially in low-light, but for the l...
Abstract: The Canon S100 is the successor to the highly popular S95 and continues the same tested and proven formula for a point-and-shoot digital camera — wide aperture and manual control in a solid, light and portable body. Check out our full review of the Canon ...

Great lownoise performance, Image clarity is superb, Manual control is quick and easy, Better grip than previous models
Corner softness at some apertures
