For example, the ability to shoot in RAW, and also the manual control of aperture, speed and focus. The image quality is likewise considered significantly improved with this camera when compared with other compacts.

Yet another positive element that customers liked was simply the small, compact, slender design which slips conveniently into your pocket, but with a marked improvement from its predecessors with regards to grip.

The standard of the photos, and also the sharpness and depth of detail are described as being much better than anticipated, even indoors and in low light conditions. Poor results in low-light is a frequent complaint about compact cameras - but the S95 does very well in this regard.

Cons:

Some people felt that the inability to auto focus whilst taking video was really a significant let down.

One gripe that a few individuals had was with the pop-up/motorised flash. It is situated in a location on the camera where you would naturally position your finger, so if your finger is there, it pushes the flash back down again.

Another problem that a few consumers had was with the sluggish reaction time of the camera.
