Canon S100

 
Without a doubt the new Canon Powershot S100 is looking to be the most sought after camera to be released this year. While rumors of it’s specifications have been rampant for quite awhile finally Canon has released some information on this dynamic point and shoot camera.

Sleek, small and sophisticated the Canon Powershot S100 is a powerful pocket size camera that make it possible for the amateur photographer to produce those professional stand-out images. The capabilities of the Canon S100 make it a pocket camera and a serious photography tool. With 12.1 megapixels, a 5x optical zoom lens, and the Canon HS System there is little that this camera can’t do,

The HS system on the Canon S100 combines several technologies to execute better performance. HS stands for high speed; referring to the higher ISO speed capabilities that allows the user to achieve brilliant results in low light and poor light situations. Shooting pictures in a low light scenario with a camera that has a high ISO setting means that you use a faster shutter speed, resulting in less camera shake and less blurriness. True photographers know that higher ISO speed can increase the grainy speckles and reduce the detail. Integrated into the HS system is a DIGIC 5 processor. This processor reduces the grainy “noise” in your photographs and automates the white balance. Overall the HS system enhances your photographs and offers the hobbyist the ability to produce professional shots.

Other features of the Canon S100 include the 12.1 megapixel for enhanced image quality. You can also create and captured full 1080p HD video with stereo sound quality. The dedicated movie button gives you the ability to zoom while shooting and play back videos directly on your HDTV with the HDMI output cable. You can also easily edit and upload the videos to online social sites. The 5x optical zoom lens has a 24mm wide angle feature that allows you to capture more of your images with one click. The wide LCD screen makes for easy viewing of your perfectly captured images.

Part of the HS system, the intelligent IS selects from six different shooting modes that optimize image quality and stabilization for whatever the shooting condition is. You also have a high-speed Burst HQ that will capture 8 frames per second while preserving outstanding image quality. This camera offers the photographer complete creative control that allows you to shoot and capture in different recording modes including RAW and JPEG. In addition there is a built-in GPS tracker that records the location that the pictures were taken at.

As with all Canon products, the Canon S100 is compatible with a wide range of supplies and accessories including extra lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, carrying cases, AC Adapter kits, video, HDMI, and other interface cables, as well as high power external flashes.
