Hoblick Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 anyone have any experience with this cameraill be looking for a new camera here in the future.i have had several cameras.. and i havent found one yet that has fit my needs.i had a nikon d40 great camera just too big to lug around everywhereCanon SX20is again another great camera, smaller, and not a DSLR though, but big enough where sometimes i didnt feel like taking it out of the saddlebag for a photo, sometimes i pull over to get one shot and then take off.need something my wife can carry on the back of the bike, not be huge an obstrusive.i have an older samsung point and shoot that she usually snaps pics with, but its so damaged now from being beating around and thrown in the saddlebag and what not, it was kind of the beater camera that we didnt care if it got broke (still took decent pics though)so anyway.. im looking for a small pocketable camera, that has some high end features.the Canon S95 kind of struck me as that camera..with all of its manual functions, the ability to shoot in raw, HD video, and its superior low light capabilities.i have had watched some reviews, but am interested in anyone who has had some first hand experience.

ohdaho Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 No first hand experience, but I was going to buy this as a xmas gift for my sister. This thing is one of the best P&S cameras out there when you consider the price and features. Excellent review here: http://www.techbargains.com/reviews/261686 $289 on Newegg (possibly $269 if you get the $40 for $20 Google offer).

Big Chief201 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I bought the Nikon S9100 by recommendation from my wedding photographer. I would say its the best point and shoot I've ever owned. 18X optical zoom, 12.1 megapixels, awesome low light pictures, and a slew of other great features. They recently came out with a new version the S8100 but it has less of an optical zoom but more megapixels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 the cameras i started to narrow down to were..canon g12nikon S8200canon s95nikon p7000the g12 and p7000 are a little bigger than i wanted.. i need somethign compactthe s8200 just doesnt stack up against the s95,and the s95 is essentially the same camera as the g12, or so i have read... but its more compact.so all signs point to the s95 price is good, its compact, great pictures, shoots in raw, has HD video, manual focus and other manual features. only issue i have, which isnt that big of a deal really is no optical zoom for video, but i think i can overlook that for what im getting for the price and the compactness of it.
