Beautiful image quality, even in low light. Large image sensor. Bright lens. Manual dials for a D-SLR-like shooting experience.

Expensive for a pocket camera. Price puts it close to D-SLRs and compact interchangeable lens cameras, which offer far superior images.

Compact, pocketable size ; Control ring provides fast access to settings ; Very good image and video quality ; Easiest advanced camera to grasp for beginners ; Fun scene modes for both stills and video

Disappointing battery life ; No raised hand grip ; Slow burst mode

The PowerShot S95 is a perfect camera to grow with, thanks to its pocketable size and ultimate blend of automated and manual controls.

Well built, mostly metal body ; Good control layout ; Awesome f/2.0 lens ; Produces high-quality 10-megapixel photos ; Loads of user-friendly exposure options ; Almost unmatched degree of exposure control for a camera of this size ; Capable Smart Auto...

No-nonsense design is easily pocketed ; Bright, optically stabilized wide-angle zoom with very good image quality ; New Hybrid IS system corrects for both lateral shifts and angular motion ; Programmable control ring ; Shortcut button works great to...

Generally sluggish performance overall ; No noise reduction options ; High geometric distortion at wide-angle in uncorrected RAWs ; Moderate chromatic aberration at wide-angle ; Optical zoom not supported during movies ; Lens doesn't go as wide as some...

Though we ultimately couldn't ignore the quality of the Canon S90 despite its flaws last year, I'm happy to report that the Canon S95 is improved in just the right ways to eliminate many of the nuisances that made many of us veer off the S90. Swapping...

Manual controls, very good images in all light levels, shoots 720p HD video, big, sharp LCD display

Slow camera speed, short battery life, optical zoom doesn't work with video

More importantly, the LX-5 gives you a hot shoe. With no hot shoe, the S95 can’t play with your other photography gear. The Lumix, on the other hand, can sync with an external flash or, with the right equipment, studio strobes.
