For people who are serious about their photo taking, but who do not have the money or the desire to buy a professional camera, the Canon Powershot S90 digital camera had been the popular choice. Now, with the release of the Canon Powershot S95 camera, amateur photographers have a new option to take professional quality pictures without having to buy a more expensive and complicated camera. The new features that the Canon Powershot S95 has are numerous and more than sufficient to justify an update to the previous model. The benefits listed below are only a few of the improvements that this Canon camera features.
Improved Sensitivity and Motion Control
A chief advantage of the new Powershot camera is its improved sensitivity in shooting high quality pictures in situations where there isn't a lot of light. While the Powershot S90 was a camera that made advances in that area, the new Canon digital camera takes those advancements even further, with its 10 megapixel sensor and an ISO range that stretches from ISO 320 to ISO 12800. Combined with a f/2.0 Canon lens and a higher speed shooting capacity, which is able to capture 3.9 shots per second, the shooting capacity of the Powershot S95 represents a marked improvement over its predecessor.
Another improved feature is the Hybrid IS system. This allows picture takers to be able to take more pictures without having to worry about camera shaking or blurring affecting the ultimate quality of the picture. The Image Stabilizer also complements the 3.8x optical zoom and 28 mm wide-angle lens, meaning that it's possible to take better, clearer pictures from farther away and with greater quality.
Light, Image, and Landscape Control
A big issue for any amateur photo taker is the issue of control. With the Powershot S95, it's possible to have greater control in what you want your picture to turn out like by taking High Dynamic Range images. High Dynamic Range images allow the picture taker to take three pictures simultaneously with different exposure rates. After the picture has been taken, the camera will combine these three images into one picture, which will bring out definitions and highlights that other cameras would miss.
Along with the issue of control comes the confusion over what settings to use in order to take the best possible picture. The Powershot S95 helps to remedy that with its Scene Detection Technology and its Smart Flash Exposure. The Scene Detection Technology, which is within Smart Auto, scopes out the landscape that a user wishes to take a picture of and adjusts to take the best possible picture according to a variety of 28 variables. If a user wishes to select these settings for their self, the Hints and Tips messages will help provide a useful and helpful guide. Similarly, the Smart Flash Exposure adjusts the flash levels of the camera depending on the shooting conditions. Along with Multi Aspect shooting, which allows users to take pictures in a variety of different aspect ratios, the technologies on this Canon camera help to eliminate the need for any processing so that people can just print their pictures and display them as is.
Canon also shows that it listened to customers who had complained about the Multi-Control Dial. While in the past, the dial moved more easily and could result in unwanted changes in settings, the new Multi-Control Dial has a mechanism in place that allows the user to hear a "click" if they've changed the camera's settings without intending to. This crucial change has the result of making the camera easier to use and preventing potential issues with the camera or the outcome of the pictures.
HD Video Capacity
For those who want a digital camera that will double as a video camera in short order, the Powershot S95 offers the ability to take 720p HD videos as well. The Image Stabilizer also helps in this, giving the users to shoot steady videos with stereo sound. For those aiming for an artier effect to their video taking, the camera also offers the opportunity to take time-lapse photography, adding a new and creative element to recreational picture and video taking.
An Improvement?
Overall, with its added features, new technologies, and improved controls, the Canon Powershot S95 represents a significant improvement over the previous model. While the Powershot S90 remains a serviceable camera, the Powershot S95 allows picture takers of all skill levels to take better, brighter, and clearer pictures than they ever could before. It gives users the ability to take professional pictures without a professional taking them. The Powershot S95 represents the latest and best evolution of digital cameras and proves to be a very worthwhile investment for anyone wanting a camera that provides a faithful and beautiful record of life's greatest events.
