The Canon PowerShot S95 is the successor to the popular S90, a pocket-sized camera that offers a lot of professional features. Aimed at the serious photographer looking for a capable compact, the new Canon S95 features improved handling and greater levels of manual control. The innovative lens Control Ring, which enables users to adjust the settings of various functions by twisting the selector at the base of the lens barrel to the left or right, now offers more flexibility, while the image stabilisation system incorporates Hybrid IS technology for sharper macro shots. A new in-camera High Dynamic Range mode helps to capture high-contrast scenes, Multi-Aspect shooting with 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, 16:9 and 4:5 formats allows you to get creative, and there’s 720p HD 24fps movie recording with stereo sound. Features retained from the previous model include the same 10 megapixel CMOS sensor, a 3.0 inch LCD display with a resolution of 461K dots, 3.8x, 28-105mm zoom lens with fast maximum aperture of f/2.0, full range of manual shooting modes and RAW format support. Available in black, the Canon Powershot S95 also gets a lower price tag than the S90, officially costing £399 / €479 / $399.99.
