Got a S95 for Christmas---S100 Scam ??
Jan 1, 2012
I also just got a S95 for Christmas. I have been a Nikon user since 1980 and switching to Canon was a hard decision. I read all the test and reviews for the Canon S95 and a mulititute of Nikons. I posted on the Nikon form comparing S95 to the Cool Pix 9100 and three other Cool Pix cameras and I talked to 2 people who have S90's. I made the desicion to switch to the Canon because of the majority of test and reviews all agreed the image quality was superior to other PS in the price range. I have to admit that I am have not been all that impressed with the quality so far. I own & shoot a Nikon D90 currently and I wanted a small PS to carry around. After reading the post and many many comments about the S100 SCAM I guess I am GUILTY of thinking the picture quality would be close to my D90. OK I am stupid--I am not a professional just love taking pictures. But I can see were other amatures could be fooled by all the hype. I know enough that the camera doesn't make the picture -the photographer does. So far I have a million questions to ask about the S95 and I am looking forward to getting some advice from the pros here.
The S95 is a hell of a camera and has many many options and I realize I need to get use to them but I need to lower my expection first and then build on that.
The first thing I need to do is get the instructions printed so I can study them. What happened to the good old days when you got a instruction manual to read. I can't carry around a laptop with me everytime I have to look something up. This is progress ???
Thanks and looking forward to posting some pics here for advice.
