The Canon Powershot S95 is an advanced digital camera in a compact body. With a full set of manual exposure controls it is likely to appeal to the experienced photography or someone wishing to take up photography as a hobby.
One of the key features Canon has incorporated into the Powershot S95 is a 5x wide angle lens with a maximum aperture of f/2. This should help boost the performance of the Powershot S95 in lowlight conditions. Image stabilisation has been built into the lens to help combat any blur caused by camera shake.
One feature I really liked on previous models is the lens ring. This can be set to change a selected feature. These include zoom, aperture, shutter speed and focusing.
The Powershot S95 comes with a full set of manual controls. It also has a mode for shooting in RAW. This is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their photos through Photoshop. There is a 3 inch LCD screen and High Definition movies are available too.
It is difficult to find digital cameras with this range of features built into such a small body. This makes the Powershot S95 ideal for carrying around with you when it is not practical to have a Digital SLR with you.
