(just as someone who's buying into the EOS system in the near future)

From 1979 to 2007 I was a camera repairman and collected a lot of equipment over the years but now I am finding myself wanting to downsize and not lug around all that stuff with me. By just selling a few of my DSL pieces I cold pay for the new one. .Tom

Can do bokeh for close ups and nice long distance. Works well in low light and don't need the flash all the time. Its definitely one of the best point and shoots on the market. |

I have DSLR and the reason I don't do point and shoot is the delay time. Whwen I want to take a picture, I want to take it NOW. |

I got tired of lugging my DSLR to places, and it is always a pain to travel with. I was choosing between Nikon P300 and the Canon S95. Being a Nikon DSLR user, I wanted to like the P300, but the lesser image quality (IMO) and the no-RAW option made me order an S95. I'm getting it tomorrow! Any other users out there? |

great in the dark w/o flash. GREAT.
the best thing--it shoots RAW |

| | Quatre-cordes | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: New Orleans, LA /El Paso TX | | | cool, thanks guys. I was having buyer's remorse when I was browsing the lesser Canon SD series, but none of them has the big sensor for low light! Good call on the extra battery, I heard that this camera is a little bit hungrier in terms of juice. |

anyways, I played with it some, and although it feels like a toy as compared to my D90, it takes good pics. The manual mode is awesome, I love how the screen attempts to show what the pic will look like at the different shutter speeds and apertures. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
