  1. D-Photo and The Photographer's Mail

    4 October 2010

    In this New Zealand exclusive review, Ashley Kramer discovers whether Canon’s S95 can part him from his G11 It’s confession time. I put my hand up for this review and frankly, did everything I could to get my mitts on Canon’s new S95. I had to discover if the S95 could dethrone the G11 as ˜the professional’s compact camera’. The G11’s only real weakness is its size ” it’s just too big to go into most pockets. The S95, by contrast, is smaller and eminently pocketable. Read more

    It’s secret confession time. I put my hand up for this review and, frankly, did everything I could to get my mitts on Canon’s new S95. I had to discover if the S95 could dethrone the G11 as ‘the professional’s compact camera’. I had just returned from a month-long trip checking out the top technology at IFA in Berlin and the World Expo in Shanghai when I heard that I had become editor of Tone. Read more

    Canon's PowerShot S95 is a compact digital camera that's perfect for travellers or even photography enthusiasts who want a small camera with manual controls. It's very small, yet it's designed to allow you to change the exposure almost as quickly as you could with a digital SLR. If you don't want to change the exposure settings manually, the Canon PowerShot S95 has an auto mode and plenty of scene modes to help you get the most out of it straight away. Read more

    • Small size, physical exposure controls, very good image clarity and colours
    • Shutter speed a little too restrictive, lens ring could be smoother to operate

    Just like a first impression of someone walking down the street in a business suit, it’s very easy to overlook and underestimate the depths of the Canon PowerShot S95 at a brief glance. The unassuming advanced compact from Canon opts for substance well over style, even though some may indeed prefer the classy business-like approach to its design over the alternative... Read more
