Best compact camera - Canon Powershot S100

[Igor]

I think that I found the best compact camera - Canon Powershot S100.

- This is the lightest (198 g.) and thinnest compact camera for professionals on the market.

- It gives much sharper picture than other compact cameras. I was very impressed when I compared resulting picture with my existing compact camera Canon IXUS 100IS.

- Built-in optical ND8 filter which can be turned on/off by a single click in the menu.

- No visible chromatic aberrations. At all. Even Canon 550D with 18-55 has CA problem.

- Large ring around lenses to adjust the optical zoom. Like on the DSLR.

- RAW + JPEG mode.

- HDR mode.

- GPS tagging.

Hi Tom,

I had to laugh when I first read the post because Canon has "repeated" the model number of a camera they made back in 2000 (the S100 "Elph" model). When I heard S100 I immediately scratched my head because I though to myself - wow! That's a really old model! Then I read about the built-in neutral density filter, and a few other "features" which didn't jive so I looked up the model and sure enough, it is a dandy! I think you will be very happy with it.

Best regards,

Lin
