We
managed to sneak in a bit of hands-on
time with the
Powershot S100 here at PhotoPlus in
Manhattan.The followup to Canon's S95 is a fairly slick point-and-shoot. It's not the most compact camera in its space, but the new Powershot
is surprisingly lightweight. It's got a healthy 12.1 megapixel CMOS
sensor with improved low-light performance and a 5x optical zoom, the
latter of which could certainly do with a bump. The S100 captures 1080p
HD video
and sports a convenient, dedicated movie button (no switching modes
here). The high-end point-and-shoot doesn't pack too many surprises, but
it certainly seems like a worthy successor to the highly-regarded S95.
Sadly, Canon still wouldn't commit to a firm release date, only saying
that it's due out in November for around $430.
