The Canon Powershot S95 digital camera features several advances in digital photography. With the lightweight, slim S95 Canon has introduced its advanced image processor to its compact camera line for the first time, along with a new lens and new control features.

Canon Powershot S95 Features

Along with the high end image processor, the Canon Powershot S95 offers a 10.0 megapixel sensor combined with a 4x zoom lens with a maximum aperture of 2.0. The large aperture creates a narrow focusing range for close-up shots that blurs the background and focuses attention on the

subject. The lens also has a manual focusing ring with changeable functions, so ambitious photographers can learn to manipulate camera settings like the pros. The high end image processor reduces shake and blur, too. Finally, the camera delivers HD video at 1280 x 720 pixels. It comes with a cord for direct connection to the photographer’s HD television for instant playback, and also allows photographers to extract still images from video shoots.

Canon Powershot S95 Accessories

The Canon Powershot S95 comes with one of Canon’s powerful rechargeable batteries. However, for longer trips away from juice, an extra battery will be useful. The camera is small and fits easily in a pocket, but many photographers still prefer neck straps. Both standard and deluxe leather neck straps offer comfortable carriage and easy access to the camera. Finally, for true adventurers, a waterproof case will provide ample protection for almost any journey.

Canon has a tradition of leading the industry in digital photography. The powerful Canon Powershot S95, and its family, features assure that the tradition continues.
