ring review Panasonic Digital Power Alkaline Batteries

I have an S90, the predecessor of this camera, and I love it. It's a wonderful machine. I'm sure the S100 and S110 only improve on it. However, if you are in the market for a highly capable, very compact camera, be aware that there are some other outstanding competitors today. I was looking for the very best digital camera that I could easily put in a pocket, when I bought my Canon. It was very tempting to bend that "pocketable" requirement for a little more capability in another parameter, but my approach was that if it wouldn't easily go in my pocket, I might as well use a DSLR and get the greater speed and flexibility of a bigger camera with interchangeable lenses. So, keeping that in mind: if I were looking to buy a truly "pocketable" high-end camera today, I'd also look at the Fuji XF-1 and especially the Sony DSC-RX100, but not cameras like the Canon G15, which is a wonderful "compact" and in significant ways "better" than the S110 but won't fit in a normal pants pocket. The thing that is intriguing about the RX100 is that the sensor is much larger than the one in the S110. (The RX100 is also considerably more expensive, however.) Sensor size is a much more important driver of quality and versatility than the number of pixels. My advice is pay attention to sensor size and the lens; ignore megapixels.

Excellent Value

kitchen sinks STKs Canon NB 5L NB5L Battery

This is a great 3rd party battery. I have 2 of these for my canon S100 and for the price, i will keep buying more. The s100, uses batteries a lot quicker than the other point and shoot because of its CMOS sensor, while others use ccd sensors.

Along with that and gps, plus hd video, batteries do not last a day and i have 3 batteries that are constantly on rotations.

You will not be dissappointed. Like the other reviewers, i have had the same battery life with this as the oem and since i am using them all at different times, my oem battery lasts longer as well.

If you never want to worry about batteries, here is a good tip.

1. buy 2 of these suckers
2. Number them so you know which is which
3. and everytime you use a battery, take it out and switch it for the next in line.... i will make sure that the battery is about 25% before i use the next and occasionally let it drain.

when you first get the battery, charge it completely and then use it in your camera until it completely drains.... and then fully charge again with 20 minutes extra.

its not really required, but i feel like it helps to get it a little used. Love it!

Great little camera; battery strength better than indicator; zoom noise & clicks

wedding dress review Canon PowerShot Wide Angle Stabilized 3 0 Inch

UPDATE: Still camera shots are great. Video is usually good, but if you are filming a performance where there is silence at times (say a play), you can hear the zoom motor and a definite click as it stops and locks. This does not make for good video as any zooming is underlined and attention is taken away from what you are filming. I rarely do that kind of filming, but this is a disappointing camera in that aspect. However, to be fair, I don't notice the zoom noise when taping musical performances or when speaking is pretty much non-stop as with a speech, sermon or lecture. But zoom motor noise is glaring ly there when there is silent or very low volume action going on.

Also, battery life doesn't do much better than 30 minutes even with freshly charged batteries. So, if you want to film a longer event, this is not your camera. Also, if you carry the camera around and expect to pull it out for events you just happen upon, don't expect more than 4-5 minutes of battery life for video footage.

After 8 months of use, I would now give the SX150 a three or four star rating. It's a good camera, but with real limitations.

I bought this to replace a Canon A2000 IS. It doubled the optical zoom, still used AA batteries, and added manual mode and all for only $165.

This is a beauty. I've tested it on people photos, hand held photos of the moon in manual mode, and macro close ups. It has performed very nicely. Even the flash has performed well for a little flash. The video footage is well lit and even does reasonably well in a semi-dark room when you zoom in on the subject.

The battery indicator is way too sensitive. At a child's birthday party not long after I had put newly charged batteries in it warned me that the batteries were getting low. I decided to see how long the batteries would last. Twenty-one minutes of video and various still shots later the batteries were still going. Those batteries (NiMH) lasted for another week of relatively light photo taking before finally needing to be recharged. So, I have learned to disregard the low battery indicator.

Though in a pinch the camera can fit in the front pocket of not too tight jeans (though it is visually evident you have something bulgy in your front pocket), I use a Polaroid Studio Series Universal Compact Camera Case (Black) For The Canon, Nikon, Kodak, Sony, Polaroid, Panasonic, Olympus, Pantex, Fuji, Casio, Samsung Digital Camera. It just barely fits (only one way with the lens end up and fits best with the lens facing the front), but the case is nicely made with a good strap. In the case it can fit in a purse, briefcase or bookbag easily and is protected.

Besides the overly sensitive battery warning indicator, I can't think of anything I don't like about this camera. This allows me to carry a first class compact camera with me all the time with the great flexibility of a 12x zoom and manual mode and no worries about battery replacement that using standard AA batteries bring s.
