Despite a few issues, the PowerShot S95 is one of the best compact cameras on the market, as was its predecessor. Combine the better-than-average photo quality with a fast lens, beautiful LCD, boatload of auto and manual controls, and HD movie recording, and you've got yourself a camera that's easy...

Though we'd like it to perform better, dSLR shooters looking for a sidekick camera will find the Canon PowerShot S95's top-flight photos and a full manual feature set worth the tradeoff of its compact size.
Read the full review →Overall, the Canon PowerShot S95 has placed itself at the top of my shortlist for my next pocket camera. I'm still torn between the S95 and the Panasonic LX5, with its wider-angle lens, but the S95 has more of what you want a pocket camera for, in a size that's not so tough to pocket.
Read the full review →The Canon S95 is a great little camera that enthusiasts will love. It's small, fits in the pocket and is classily designed as well as shooting good quality images. DSLR users looking for an everyday camera to shoot with the on the fly will appreciate the high image quality this offers.

Beware of what other camera manufacturer are calling compact cameras. The S95 is TRULY a compact camera, and the best one at that. The Photo quality and range of options put it at the head of a very prestigious class of enthusiast aimed power compacts. The design of the camera has been imitated...
