Canon PowerShot S95 Review
For amateur and aspiring photographers with a push to operate the device with manual controls, Canon, the Japanese multinational brings one of the best point and shoot cameras around. Canon PowerShot S 95 is truly a reliable and efficient camera which operates on a focal length of 6 – 22.5mm alongside a 35mm equivalent focal length of 28-105mm. Though the camera may lack perfect landscape capturing ability because of its average 3.8 x optical zoom the CCD sensor of this point and shoot camera captures most lifelike pictures at 10 megapixels. Stylish and sharp, this compact camera has a clean back panel embedded with a 5-way multi-function key and a Control ring for settings. Being sleek, Canon PowerShot S95 fits into the palm as well as it fits into the pocket and weighs a mere 193gms. At 24 frames per second the camera records one of its most striking features i.e. Full HD recording at 1280 x 720 pixels. This camera operates on DIGIC 4 image processor and clicks images at multiple aspect ratios of 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, 4:5 and 1:1, default being 4:3. For user camera interface, a significantly big 3 inch TFT LCD screen with capacitive display is embedded on the rear with a color resolution as high as 461,000 dots, and gifts the user larger than life shooting experience.
The camera is powered by Li – Ion battery which is rechargeable and can take up to 200 images before a mandatory recharge. The memory can further be expanded by the use of SD, SDHC, MMC, MMCplus or HC MMCplus memory card. USB 2.0 is additionally provided for local data transfer. Manual controls are the key to this camera which differentiate it from other devices. Aperture is the lens opening that controls light falling on the image sensor. The aperture range of this Canon PowerShot camera is f/2.0 - 4.9. The TTL auto focus system focuses from 5cm (Wide) and 30cm (Tele). Light sensitivity of camera ranges from minimum of ISO 80 to maximum of ISO 3200. Shutter speed variations can be noted as 15 – 1/1600. Canon PowerShot S95 provides a wide variety of scene modes like Foliage, Underwater, Firework, Kids & Pets, Snow, Beach and many more. Canon’s masterclass Hybrid IS with lens-shift image stabiliser leads to crystal clear and sharp photos so one does not have to worry about out of focus pictures. Canon PowerShot S95 is technologically advanced and a real value for money deal, and is certain to keep you content in almost every aspect of photography.
Overall Review
Canon PowerShot S95 in all senses is pretty much a gem, which is offered to all the enthusiasts who are looking for classy compact cameras yet do not want to sacrifice on the features. The new player in the PowerShot S series from Canon has made a number of important upgrades over Canon PowerShot S90 which includes 720p HD video with stereo sound, in-camera HDR, Hybrid Image Stabilisation, Dynamic Range correction, Tracking AF, new special effects, a choice of aspect ratios and an improved finish. These all build-upon the core capabilities of a pocket camera with a 28-105mm zoom, full manual control over exposures, RAW recording, a large and detailed screen, dual customisable control wheels and a welcome approach to low-light performance with a sensible 10 Megapixel resolution and a bright f2.0-4.9 lens. As what has been said multiple times before PowerShot S95 has a great deal with PowerShot G models. Both share the same sensor, the same movie capabilities, and a similar degree of manual control. Where they differ is in form factor with the S95 featuring a considerably smaller and lighter body, not to mention a brighter lens which gathers twice as much light when both cameras are zoomed-out to 28mm.
Design and Build Quality
Main body of this camera measures a decent 100mm x 58mm x 22mm or 30mm with the lens housing. When you look closely at the device you can spot out the minor differences between it and its predecessor in styling and controls which otherwise are invisible. On the top surface, the power and ring function buttons have swapped positions and changed shape. The shutter release button is now narrower than before, but sitting within the dipped well of the rotary zoom rocker, it's easy to get your finger on. The recessed mode dial offers the same settings, but now has a slightly different surface around its edge. The arrangement and function of the rear controls is identical, but with one big physical improvement: the thumb wheel which turned without feedback on the earlier S90 now features stepped clicks, which makes it considerably easier to operate thanks for that Canon. As before, the Shortcut button can be customised, but now with one of 20 options rather than the 12 of the S90. Canon PowerShot S95's Shortcut button can now be set to offer direct access to Face Select, i-Contrast, Sensitivity, White Balance, Custom White Balance, My Colours, Bracketing, Drive mode, Metering, Aspect Ratio, RAW or JPEG, Compression, Movie quality, Servo AF, Red-eye Correction, AF Lock, AE Lock, Digital Teleconverter or Display Off; or you can choose not to assign the Shortcut button at all.
Focus and Face Detection
Canon PowerShot S95 offers three auto-focusing modes: it inherits Center and Face AiAF from the earlier S90, but now adds the third option of Tracking AF. This is clearly in reaction to the tracking facilities of Panasonic's compacts. PowerShot S95 offers three auto-focusing modes: it inherits Center and Face AiAF from the earlier S90, but now adds the third option of Tracking AF. This is clearly in reaction to the tracking facilities of Panasonic's compacts. The Face AiAF mode automatically employs face detection if a person is in the frame, or switches to a traditional nine-area system in the absence of a suitable face. In our tests this worked quickly and seamlessly, and like other recent Canon compacts, Canon PowerShot S95 tracked human faces with great success. If you'd like to check the focus before taking the shot, Canon PowerShot S95 now offers AF-Point Zoom, which enlarges either the selected AF area or the primary face when you half-press the shutter. Alternatively you can set the camera to display an enlarged view of the focusing area after taking the photo.
Lens and Image Stabilization
There really isn’t any special reason for Canon to upgrade the lenses so CanonPowerShot S95 features the same 3.8x optical zoom as its predecessor, with an equivalent range of 28-105mm and a focal ratio of f2.0-4.9; the actual focal length is 6-22.5mm and we counted ten discrete steps when zooming from wide-angle to telephoto using the main zoom control. The S95 alternatively allows you configure the control ring around the lens to adjust the zoom, this time in five broader steps equivalent to 28, 35, 50, 85 and 105mm. The closest focusing distance in Macro mode with the lens zoomed-out is a fairly modest 5cm from the front of the first lens element. The PowerShot S95 employs optical Image Stabilisation to counteract camera-shake. Canon offers three modes: Continuous where the system operates all the time, Shoot Only which only applies stabilisation as you take the photo, and Panning which only stabilises in the vertical axis for when you’re moving the camera horizontally as you take the photo.
Screen and Menus
Canon PowerShot S95's rear surface is dominated by a 3in / 460k screen, that's the same specification as its predecessor the only updgrade being Canon PowerShot S95 employing a newer PureColour II G panel with a tempered glass outer layer. Like its predecessor there's no optical or electronic viewfinder, nor the option to fit one as an optional accessory.
Battery
Under Canon Power is a combined battery / memory card compartment, and unsurprisingly Canon PowerShot S95 uses the same NB-6L rechargeable Lithium Ion pack as its predecessor. Interestingly the battery life has however dropped from 220 to 200 shots, and at this point it's well worth noting the rival Lumix LX5 is good for around 400 shots per charge, although that camera is larger and almost 50% heavier. Meanwhile Canon PowerShot S95 continues to use SD memory cards and it's no surprise to now find it supporting the latest SDXC models, along with wireless Eye-Fi cards. Canon recommends using Class 4 or quicker cards to support the HD movie mode.
Video Mode
Sensors
Canon PowerShot S95 employs a 1 /1.7in CCD sensor with 10 Megapixel resolution; this is the same specification as its predecessor, although the sensor has been upgraded to support HD video.
