In early December, Canon announced this amazing Powershot S series and the successor of the S95, the Canon Powershot S100. For me, I think this is a good "B" camera setup, because it is a point-and-shoot digital camera that can shoot full HD movies at 24fps with quite good autofocus system. It has DIGIC-5 processor, actually higher and more updated than my Canon EOS 600D (with only DIGIC-4 processor). We are having difficulties shooting a scene with multiple angles, and this could be the best alternative for another DSLR.
The S100 is in effect a completely new camera compared to the S95; almost every key feature has been upgraded or updated:
- 24-120mm (equivalent) lens range, F2.0-5.9, built-in neutral density filter
- 12.1 MP 1/1.7" Canon CMOS sensor
- DIGIC 5 image processor
- ISO 80-6400
- 2.3 fps continuous shooting (9.6 fps for 8 frames in High-Speed burst mode)
- Full HD (1080p24) movie recording; H.264 compression, MOV format
- Optical zoom in movie mode
- Super slow motion movie recording (640 x 480 @ 120fps, 320 x 240 @ 240 fps)
- Direct movie record button
- Built-in GPS unit with image tagging and logger functions
Canon Cameras Philippines announced just recently its basic price, a slapping P28,998. It is not yet released to other camera shops like Henry's, and if so, it would sell for about P25,000.
