Canon PowerShot S95 - Lightweight & Portable
The Canon PowerShot S95 is the next evolutionary step in Canons PowerShot S series (you may remember the popular and versatile PowerShot S90 that the S95 builds upon) and can also be known as the small package that good things come in. However often you're going to use your camera and in whatever situation, there's a limit to how much bulk you want to be dragging around with you. So ordinarily you have to choose between the professional photography that requires two camels and a Sherpa to carry it around with you, or those flimsy little cameras that are usually carried around by anyone who's capable of pointing it in vaguely the right direction and pressing a button.
The PowerShot S95 saves you from having to make that distressing choice, by fitting all that advanced equipment into a tiny, good looking little camera. The height and width of the camera is 100mm x 58mm and it has a depth of just 30mm, making it just about pocket sized. This might not sound too important, but it suddenly becomes a lot more vital when you take it on holiday with you and start worrying about shifty glances from strangers when it's hanging from a cord around your neck. Being the size it is, the S95 can fit neatly into bags, pockets or a handbag which is a huge relief when you think of the dangers of brandishing it on your chest. Crime aside, a friend of mine had a $600 camera ruined when he was caught mid-photo by a wave at Sea World. It wouldn't be entirely unfair to suggest that was his own stupid fault, but my point still stands.
Despite weighing just 193grams, the PowerShot S95 doesn't seem to lose anything for its size. For example the self named Smart
Technology onboard the S95 is so clever that if you would lose if you were to play chess with it. It offers a whole range of impressive tricks for photography amateurs that will compute the perfect settings for your photo without asking you to do any more than press a button and even guides you with helpful tips as you use it. For the more advanced photographer, the Control Ring lets you play with focus, ISO, shutter speed, exposure and aperture and the Full Manual setting gives you full control over your picture.
Other handy added extras are Tracking AF that will track moving objects which is brilliant for shooting sports pictures or at public events, and excellent low light performance with an extra sensitive CCD sensor that will take up to ISO 3200 while retaining the 10 megapixel quality. The Canon PowerShot S95 also offers you high definition video recording with stereo sound that is sure to please the in-laws at family get togethers and an HDMI connection to watch the results on an HDTV. A 3" LCD screen displays the picture that you've just taken and the 3.8x zoom captures images at a distance with the help of manual focusing.
