The Canon S95 is an update to the Canon S90 that I have mentioned previously. Canon seems to be aggressively going after this space with an update to the camera only a year after it’s release – and soon after the announcement of the Panasonic Lumix LX5.
The new S95 features a new sensor and 720p video recording capability. The front control ring was redesigned to give better tactile feedback. It also adds a built-in HDR feature for better dynamic range. They also tout the Hybrid IS system, however give very little detail about how it works.
The verdict is out on how much better the S95 is in low-lighting conditions than the S90 or the SD4000-IS with it’s back-illuminated CMOS sensor (of which I own). I’ll wait for the first reviews to come out and see what the high-ISO shots look like.
