  • Simply stated

The editors didn't like

  • Tends to clip highlights (hint
  • Use DR correction)
  • Redeye can be a problem
  • Even with digital reduction turned on
  • Videos are a bit choppy due to 24 fps frame rate
  • Below average battery life
  • Lens on the slow side at telephoto end
  • ISO fixed at 80 when shutter speed drops below 1 second
  • Unremarkable burst mode
  • Flash a bit slow to charge
  • Can't access memory card slot while using a tripod
  • Ful
  • Disappointingly slow to use
  • F/2 aperture only achievable at wide angle
  • Expensive
  • Costs US$30 more than predecessor
  • Slight buzz is audible when zooming during video recording
  • Full HD video at 24p only
  • 24mm lens can cause distortion in people pictures
  • Somewhat soft corners at wide angle
  • Weak flash (common in compacts)
  • Autofocus...
  • So you've been liberated right? The Canon is fast
  • Fun
  • And portable. Then you wake up one day to go apple picking or to go to the beach or you wake up one evening and go to a party—whatever. You bust out your trusty camera. It's dead. Or maybe you charge

  • Relatively short battery life
  • No hotshoe or full flash control
  • AFarea buried in menu settings
  • Short battery life. Even shorter with GPS on

  • taille, finition, ergonomie, prise en main, qualité photo et vidéo, la bague de réglages.
  • GPS inutile et gourmand, ouverture qui diminue trop vite.
  • Avec le PowerShot S100, Canon améliore encore son APN compact expert notamment au niveau de la prise en main. Un excellent appareil… mais qui n’est pas encore parfait....

  • Le PowerShot S100 n'est pas qu'un bel objet : c'est un appareil photo discret, qui tient dans la poche et fait d'excellents clichés. La qualité de fabrication est là le mode RAW est un vrai plus pour les experts. Les reproches sont la perte de luminosité...

  • Manque d'homogénéité (périphérie moins piquée) au grandangle, Forte distorsion en Raw au grandangle, Fort glissement de l'ouverture (f/2 au grandangle, f/5,9 au télé), Autonomie limitée (200 photos, moins avec le GPS)
  • Le Canon S100 est un compact extrêmement agréable à l'usage, qui fournit des images et des films de qualité et propose des fonctions avancées avec une ergonomie au niveau des reflex. Dommage que l'objectif ne soit pas plus homogène et, surtout, que l'a...
