Not a pocket go-everywhere camera
1

Bought it hopping to replace Canon S100 for underwater photography (in Canon housing). I shoot with no artificial light so bigger sensor, higher ISO, FPS and bigger buffer are critical.

What disappointed me was the size and weight of this camera. This is not a compact-go-everywhere unit.  It will not fit in your shirt (or other) pocket without ripping it.

So my Canon S100 is not going to Ebay yet.

I am not commenting on pictures' quality since I believe there are no bad cameras (only bad photographers). The only limiting factor is the skill.

A ton of pretty useless (to me) features all cameras have these days and we have to pay for is another topic. Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO and white balance to compensate for loss of reds under water is all i need. AF is helpful too.
