Canon PowerShot S100 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
It's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the PowerShot S100. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV using an HDMI cable. And because the PowerShot S100 supports HDMI-CEC technology, youíll be able to control the playback of your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using the TVís remote control. (CEC ñ Consumer Electronic Control ñ is part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to communicate with one another.)
The PowerShot S100 digital camera is equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS)* technology. Now 
you
can travel the world and let the camera automatically record the
locations and local times of your stills and videos. The camera can also
use the GPS unit to automatically set the exact time. You can maximize
the usefulness of the GPS feature by using the special bundled Map
Utility software that makes it fun to share the memories of your world
adventures. In addition to displaying all your photos’ locations on a
world map, the camera’s GPS system can also track your route from photo
to photo – a great way to visualize each trip! You can also create and
share custom maps and personal mini-travel guides with friends and
family members.
PROS:
* The s100 is cleaner at high ISO (eg 1600 and above) but the
difference isn't as substantial as Canon claims (for low ISO, there is
no difference in noise)
* s100 is even slimmer than the s95 which is was already quite pocketable
* GPS is a great addition and quite accurate most of the time
* rough texture finish makes the camera easier to hold and also looks great
* rubber grips make camera easier to hold but don't expect miracles
* mirror like shutter button is easier to find especially given the removal of the func button from the top of the camera
* back wheel now has the perfect resistance and feedback
* the delete button is not on the dial so I can finally delete while viewing a zoomed in on an image!!!
* lens zooms very quickly (sometimes too quickly to get accurate zoom)
*
fast shutter speed (in fact in Continuous drive mode it is very
difficult to take one photo--always get two photos and I am fairly fast
releasing the shutter button--an additional slower Continuous mode
option would have been helpful)
* 8 shots in a second is a handy
feature to have though not often used (limited to 8 shots and then have
to wait for the photos to be written to the card)
* 24mm wide-angle is very useful for indoor photography
*
lens is sharper across zoom range than the s90--with sharper corners
(people have reported variation in the sharpness of the lens on early
models)
* ability to control max ISO and ISO selection criteria for Auto ISO
* dynamic range correction works well
* dedicated movie recording button
* 1080p video recording (much better resolution but not as good low light capture than s90&s95 but can't match Sony HX-9V)
* can zoom while recording video with minimal noise
