The Canon PowerShot S100 is a response to previous models S90 and S95, which, before its entry into force of a little over a year or two. The first was a kind of reference model, as it marked a significant change in the strategy of Canon. For many years, the industry as a whole continued at the expense of image quality almost megapixels. The S90 has taken a step backwards in terms of megapixel rating, and a corresponding step forward in terms of image quality. The S95 and a year later, and maintained the same lens and sensor combination of the camera before. While the Canon S100 will follow in the footsteps of popular models and offers a compact camera for photographers prefer the image quality makes it especially the most significant changes to the formula, as in S95.
Among these is the choice of the image sensor and processor. When the first models were based on a CCD image sensor, the S100 has a CMOS sensor instead. The number of pixels was slightly increased in the S90 and S95 ten megapixel, 12 megapixel Canon S100. He went to the DIGIC 4 image processor of the camera before, with a new DIGIC 5, which Canon says provides better performance in noise suppression, including changes replaced. The company has confidence in the sector in its decision on the S100, the equivalent of maximum sensitivity to ISO 6400, ISO 3200, compared to the corresponding increase of its predecessor to be seen.
And improved noise suppression performance of the new image processor DIGIC and 5 probably best performances in two other areas. White balance when shooting with the flash pop-ups to improve, through an analysis of multi-level stage, taking into account the fact that the S100 can not only take the white balance for flash, but also that of ambient light in the scene. Burst speed is also called, has been significantly improved. S95 which was limited to only 1.9 frames per second burst mode, and S90 for a slow one image per second, the S100 shoots usually with an established producer and a 2.3 fps burst speed of shooting at full resolution 9.6 frames per second for eight frames.
The objective of the Canon S100 is identified, is that the change in the previous cameras. 35mm equivalent focal length ranging from a generic equivalent wide-angle 24 mm to 120 mm equivalent to a medium telephoto. (5.2 to 26.0 mm focal real.) Varies from f/2.0 maximum aperture at wide angle bright F/5.9 in telephoto position, and the design features of the basic lens optical image stabilization for reduce the impact of the uncertainty of camera shake. Algorithms for image stabilization Canon S100 for that now analyze the shooting conditions automatically revisited choose one of six different types of scenes and optimize the system as a Shake Reduction macro accordingly. There are currently provided on exactly what specific changes are made to different types of scenes, and the degree of correction possible, but no improvement will be worth it with this much telephoto range.
Another important difference is the addition of a GPS receiver, so the Canon S100 automatically tag photos with location information on their registration. It is not their first camera to include this feature, but there is something more discreet than in the past, with no unsightly bulge for the GPS receiver. The exterior design is actually right in front of the cameras close in terms of general provision, although the stereo microphone position of the door on the front panel has been changed, and there is now handles larger in the front and back of the camera provide assistance to more firmly under control. There is also a choice of color again. In addition to the black body of the camera prior S100 may have a beautiful silver finish.
Another difference between the S100 and its predecessors is that to recognize certain types of additional scenes in Smart Auto mode. If the S90 could be one of 22 types of scenes shot in Smart Auto mode and select the 28 types of S95, the Canon S100 has four more, which all rely on to understand the ability of the device to make tracking of non-human subjects.
Video capture has been revised. If the S95 HD video at 720p (1280 x 720 pixels, 24 frames per second) and the S90 final capture only standard VGA was limited, the S100 can record video up to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels aka 1080p) resolution . The rate of absorption of this resolution is limited to 24 frames per second while lower resolutions can be recorded at 30 fps.
Images are always supervised and on a review panel 3.0-inch LCD, as the cameras above. As these models, the Canon S100 car once, but to please the fans opening and shutter priority and fully manual collection. There is also a selection of JPEG and RAW, the latter an unusual choice in the course sets the objective of the cameras.
Price for the Canon S100 is set at about U.S. $ 430, up from $ 30 to S95 and a return to the same price point of the S90. In the U.S. market, the availability of early November 2011 is attached.
