I very much like this camera. Takes great photos, the flash is more powerful than I thought it would be, and with the larger sensor size it gives you more flexibility to NOT use the flash in many situations. The only weakness is the battery life. Buy yourself 2 or 3 batteries because this boy chews through them like butter. Well worth it though with the cameras features, speed, and quality in my opinion.
This is a professional quality picture taking camera at a small price. I purchased this camera for skiing. I have a professional Canon, but too large to lug around the mountain. The S100 can do it all, it can take a nice quality picture and video. The controls are easy to use and you have multiple options for the controls. The camera is a size that it can fit nicely in my chest pocket and pull it out for pictures easy. It also has a nice size lanyard for your wrist and making it secure. The zoom is quick and very responsive and easy to use to focus. Depending on what you are shooting there are a lot of pre-set conditions for all types of pictures. You just have to take some time reading the manual and finding out where all the funtions are. I have not been outside yet with the camera, the weekend I got it, I also got a cold and the cold beat me up. I will use this soon and from everything I have seen and used inside so far is such a pleasure. I am just amazed at the size, options and quality of the pictures. One of the first pictures I took was a miniture rose bush that I got my wife for Valentine's Day. I showed my wife the picture and she thought it was from my large Canon. She was totally surprised when I told her it was from the new small camera. I am excited with the new purchase and look forward in taking a lot of pictures in the future. Especially on the slopes, will be the primary use at first this winter. I love it so far and the reviews I read don't do it justice. An incredible small camera with big positive picture taking. Compared to the little Vivitar I have been using for the skiing pictures, this new one is not even in the same league. The sample shots have been amazing.Read full review
I have been using this camera since 2012 for taking pictures of items that I list on eBay, Amazon, Etsy and other sites. Pictures come out great and need very little editing. Wonderful color. I usually only have to adjust the purples. Just the right amount of pixels. Manual or automatic. I would definitely purchase another S100 immediately if something were to happen to the one that I have now.

This is a great camera for general vacation use and walking around. In a pinch, you can get really good artistic photos, too. It has a lot of capabilities for adjusting settings, including Tv, Av, and full Manual mode, and it will record a RAW image if you select it. The sensor is a little bit larger than those on most similar-sized cameras. The camera is also heavier and obviously a high-quality product. The shell is metal. The buttons and dials all have nice feel to them. I have the S100 in my pocket on our vacations, and on general walks. It only has 5X optical zoom, but that's usually enough for snapshots and general use, but it wouldn't be a good camera for taking photos of birds or wildlife that is far away. I'll often stop to take a close-up of a flower or something, and it works great for that with a macro mode. It has a built-in pop-up flash that is covered unless it pops up, and it does a great job for fill-in flash of a person against a bright background. The S110 that replaced it is very similar but has a touch screen and Wi-Fi, if that is important. To me they are about the same.Read full review

Camera is very nice. It's very small and had all of the manual features I was looking for especially shooting in raw. I wish the images could be a little sharper but I have to remember that it is a point and shoot and not my slr, that's the main reason I want the raw so I can clean them up a bit in editing
