Macro performance is OK, allowing you to focus as close as 5cms away from the subject. The images were a little soft straight out of the Canon PowerShot S95 at the default sharpening setting and ideally require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can change the in-camera setting. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are a little soft at the default sharpening setting.

You can change the in-camera sharpening level if you don't like the default look. The Canon Powershot S95's 3. The Canon Powershot S95 has 2 different image quality settings available, with Fine being the highest quality option. The Canon PowerShot S95 handled chromatic aberrations very well during the review, with limited purple fringing present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations, as shown in the example below.

The Canon PowerShot S95 allows you to focus on a subject that is 5cms away from the camera. The first image shows how close you can get to the subject in this case a compact flash card. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1. And here are some portrait shots. As you can see, neither the Flash On or the Red-eye-Reduction settings caused any red-eye.

The Canon Powershot S95's maximum shutter speed is 15 seconds, which is great news if you're seriously interested in night photography. The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 15 seconds at ISO The Canon PowerShot S95 has an anti-shake mechanism, which allows you to take sharp photos at slower shutter speeds than other digital cameras.

To test this, I took 2 handheld shots of the same subject with the same settings. The first shot was taken with anti shake turned off, the second with it turned on. As you can see, with anti shake turned on, the images are much sharper than with anti shake turned off. This feature really does seem to make a difference and could mean capturing a successful, sharp shot or missing the opportunity altogether. The Canon Powershot S95 combines three separate images to greatly expand the dynamic range, as demonstrated in the examples below.

This is a sample movie at the highest quality setting of x pixels at 30 frames per second.

Current S90 owners won't find too many reasons to upgrade, but the S95 is an even more attractive proposition as a serious compact for serious users. The list of improvements may be relatively small, but they all add up to make the Canon S95 one of the most compelling pocket cameras on the market. I happened to try it on a day when the sky was filled with fast moving, mostly dark clouds, with the Sun peeking through now and then.

The sky was interesting, but it wasn't possible to properly expose the scenery while maintaining the texture and shape of the clouds, even though they were darker. Because it's a Scene mode, you're offered no control over the span of exposures captured in HDR mode, nor how they are combined.

The Canon S95 takes three shots and combines them in-camera, taking about two seconds to capture the images, and four to combine them. Unlike Sony's HDR and low light modes, the Canon S95 does not microalign each image, and it won't intelligently delete objects that have moved between exposures.

So you need a tripod at least, and it's preferable to have a static scene. I tried several subjects, and enjoyed the results enough that I also added a few color options.

With this particular target, the rebuilt Woodstock Train Station, these effects added a nice touch. It's another thing I don't normally do, but since I've taken this shot probably 50 times, it was a nice change of pace.

The HDR mode controls just about everything else, including white balance. Menus are mostly Canon's standard design, and thankfully Canon has returned to the far better Function menu, rather than the slot-machine style that they had on some of last year's high-end PowerShots.

Each tab in the main Menu has more items than can fit on the screen, and you can either scroll up and down with the arrows or use the Control Dial. If you use the arrows, the menu wraps to the top when you reach the bottom of the list; if you use the Dial, it stops. To move to the next tab, you have to either scroll to the top to highlight the tab, or use a little-known PowerShot trick and use the zoom toggle, which jumps from tab to tab regardless where you are in the menu.

Low light. I didn't get as much low light shooting in as I did with the LX5; just the luck of the draw in terms of family events and such. But where I did shoot it, the Canon S95 did quite well. There's some noise even in low ISO images, especially in the shadows, which is strange for a Canon product. When I printed the images in question up to 11x14, though, I didn't see the noise. It was mostly luminance noise, and it just blends in.

Many indoor shots are a tad soft, thanks to noise suppression, but again they make good prints, so it's hard to complain about that. I wandered in to get some shots of my daughter sleeping in her crib. With just the light on from the bathroom some 20 feet away--not direct light either, light you could fall asleep in, she looks like she's in daylight at ISO 3, with a 1-second exposure, braced against the top rail of the crib.

At least onscreen and in our thumbnails. But zoomed in it's pretty mottled. I found better quality at ISO 2,, with fewer yellow blotches. The Low light mode, indicated by a candle on the Mode dial, didn't even come close to what ISO did, and it was a 2. Clearly that mode is meant for more light than this, and even then it's fairly soft detail compared to what I remember 2-megapixel cameras putting out.

I prefer to shoot at full resolution with some kind of help from a tripod or other brace to get a better shot. Incidentally, 1 second was the limit in Program mode, but I could have done 15 seconds in Shutter speed mode. The camera held the image steady, thanks to Hybrid IS, but very often my subjects moved. Autofocus takes a little longer than the Panasonic LX5, about twice as long, at 0. That's a little slower than average for most pocket digicams, but telephoto is 0.

Prefocused shutter lag is 0. Cycle time is pretty slow, taking 2. In RAW mode, it's 2. In Continuous mode, the Canon S95 turns out 1. Continuous RAW, though, dips back down, at 0. Flash recycles in 6 seconds, a little slower than average, but not badly. Movie mode is improved, now with p HD resolution, but unfortunately you cannot zoom optically while shooting a movie, and autofocus is locked. Given the zoom motor noise, it's understandable that you'd not be able to zoom, but still unfortunate.

There are three "effects" modes available when recording movies, including Miniature Effect, Color Accent, and Color Swap. One aspect I didn't like about using the Canon S90 was that it didn't update the auto exposure information until you half-press the shutter button.

For example, if I was in Aperture priority mode adjusting aperture, I didn't see a preview of what shutter speed the camera was going to choose until after I pressed the shutter button.

It's only then that you find out that the camera might have to set a shutter speed that's outside the camera's ability, in which case the maximum or minimum shutter speed is shown in red. So essentially you don't know whether you've exceeded the available shutter speed or aperture until you half-press the shutter. Relative resolution. In the crops below, the Canon looks like it starts out on top and stays just ahead most of the way.

However, what you're not seeing in this first set of crops is the very difficult red swatch in our Still Life target, which on the S95 starts out quite blurry at ISO 80, yet the LX5 handles it quite well.

See the two crops below. They're both doing very well, though. ISO 6, and 12, are both supported on both cameras, but we didn't test it on the Canon S I need only show the two crops from the red swatch at ISO 80 to give you an idea of how the Canon S95 handles this very difficult test of noise suppression compared to the Panasonic LX5.

You can expect detail in reds to blur before other colors in the Canon S I suppose the only positive effect is that it'll soften and de-emphasize reflections in photographs of hot red cars. That is a welcome sight.

Printed Tests : Printed results from the Canon S95 are very good, showcasing the quality lens and light-taming sensor. ISO images have good detail at 11 x 14, but are slightly soft and more luminance noise appears in the shadows. This goes away when printed at 8 x 10 inches. ISO images are a bit too soft in some areas and grainy in others at 8 x 10, while 5 x 7s look good here.

ISO 1, is surprisingly usable at 8 x 10, though dark colors get darker, and shadows deepen. Sharpness improves a bit at 5 x 7. ISO 3, shots are darker overall than any of the preceding shots, and are a little soft at 5 x 7.
