Very nice point and shoot

Camera is very nice. It's very small and had all of the manual features I was looking for especially shooting in raw. I wish the images could be a little sharper but I have to remember that it is a point and shoot and not my slr, that's the main reason I want the raw so I can clean them up a bit in editing Read full review

One of the best cheaply priced (today) point and shoots

Though it's not the newest PowerShot on the market, this is a great little camera, and I'd go so far as to say it's probably the best value for quality point and shoot you can buy today. This is my first camera and the money I spent for it was well worth it, in my opinion. I don't have the money to shell out on a new DSLR or even a newer powershot, but the image quality of the S100 is superb, and I'm more than happy with what I got out of the money I spent.

Video quality (up to 1080p30) is crisp, and image quality is excellent. It's also great at macro shots.

As far as the microphone goes - the mic isn't very good and there's no hookup for an external one, being a little point and shoot, but it's not completely horrible, either. Just don't expect great audio quality out of it, especially in a windy environment. I'd get a handy recorder or something of that nature and take the time to sync the audio in post production if you're looking for great audio quality.

Overall:
- You can get these things for super cheap these days and still get great photo quality
- Image quality is great for a point and shoot
- Video quality is good, nice and crisp
- Don't rely on the onboard microphone to produce great audio - also beware, no microphone jack
- Has lots of features I didn't expect to come with a small camera

I attached some photos I took with my S100 as examples. If you're looking to buy a good camera to start off on for cheap, I highly recommend going for an S100.

This camera is easy to use compared to a previously purchased Nikon P600 and the overall image quality is better considering it has less zoom.

Many manual controls and full of features in a very small camera! Love the ease of use except the flash has to be turned on in order for it to pop up and seemingly is in a poor location where your finger usually would rest on top. The camera offers higher than average ISO up to 6400 and consistently maintains less noise or grain in photos safely still usable up to around 800 ISO setting. Higher ISO can still be achieved at no zoom and no crop! many settings for lighting and exposure manual adjustments. Nice lens dial for quickly adjusting most important settings as well. offering up a nice 1/4000 sec shutter speed will capture most all street photography nicely. Walking, dogs, other animals in motion. Also many features for macro, focus, and multi shooting.Read full review

Almost the perfect point and shoot.

This is an amazing little camera. Good software, a really wide open lens that takes great photos indoors, and a lot of manual controls. I got it for not-much-money, and I think the S90 and up series are all great buys, but the S100 really hits a sweet spot for features and ease of use.

It's somewhere between a full size camera, and a phone camera, and holding its own against the iPhone 6. As with any camera, quality is really in the hands of the photographer, not the camera, but the S series really gives you some leeway to get sloppy, and still produce an acceptable photo.

The GPS is so-so, but the fact it has one at all is a bonus.

Good and cheap grab-and-go

I bought this little Canon S100 point-and-shoot as my little on-the-go camera. Images look pretty good. It's a tiny camera. There is visible lens distortion but it looks like it's corrected internally. Also, Lightroom has a lens correction profile preset for this camera. Can shoot in RAW+JPEG but editing its RAW files is limited (takes a lot of movement in sliders before you can notice a big difference). It's a good point-and-shoot. I recommend looking at it if you don't want to spend more than $100.Read full review

Oldie but VERY Goodie S-95 Hot Shot

A friend has had this model for several years and I always noticed how well it functioned in low light conditions as compared to the camera I had. I knew this model was no longer being made, but had hoped to find one in good condition here on eBay. To my surprise this one was availabe at a GREAT price. It seems too good to be true. I received it quicked and in the orginal manufacture box along with the accessories and battery and charger. I've used it several times already and it's all that I expected and MORE !Read full review

Small, compact camera with great results

What a great camera. Small enough to fit into your pocket, with features a lot of more expensive cameras do not have. Its' auto-feature is great for those unexpected shots, yet you can manually make adjustments if you wish. I would recommend this with ease.Read full review

DSLR in your pocket at affordable price!

Now in early 2020, if you buy this used, you get a high quality DSLR like camera in your pocket with an affordable price.
Full HD video + full controllable camera.
It's the best bang for buck. And best cam for videographers, travelers, and 2nd cam for professional photographers (wedding etc). I'm satisfied for the purchase.Read full review
