The new Canon PowerShot S100 retains the same screen as the S95: a model of 3 inches (7.5 cm) diagonal with a resolution of 461 000 points. The display is accurate with bright colours and a contrasting role which ensures perfect framing and viewing. The S100 adopts a CMOS sensor 12.1 megapixels against 10 megapixels for the S95. Its 5x optical coefficient covers the range length from 24 to 120. The zoom can now be used when recording video. It offers a wide choice of definition of Full HD (1920 x1080 pixels) at 640 x 480 pixels.
While not the fastest camera yet, the PowerShot S100 does not suffer from extreme slowness. Its use appears smooth, continuous and pleasant. It is a very compact device, with excellent manufacturing and finishing; offering a very good grip and high quality photos and videos.
Positive points: compact size, sleek finish, ergonomics, sd card slot, good quality of photo and video, ring settings.
Negative points : GPS useless.
