So that you know where I am coming from, I am not an expert photographer, but a novice/intermediate. I do not own a DSLR because I do not want the weight and bulk. I carefully researched many point and shoot cameras before buying the S100.That said, I am extremely happy with this camera. It takes much better pictures than my Canon ELPH SD780. Better accuracy in focusing, better color, and sharper.
I have taken over 100 photos in one week, and almost every single shot is usable. I have never experienced such consistent performance from a digital camera.
Pros:
* Great in low light, especially with the flash off. I got better results in general never using the flash.
* Form factor makes it portable.
* Manual control options. As others have noted, there are some limitations like flash control and exposure length for night shots.
* 24 mm capability makes more a difference than I thought it would.
Cons:
* Battery life is short; 200 shots per full charge seems about right.
* Placement of flash is inconvenient. However, you might not even need to use the flash very often.
The S100 is not cheap, but I am willing to pay for such high performance in a small package. Overall, this is a wonderful camera, and I am happy with my choice.
I bought this camera from Best Buy.
