But perhaps most significantly, the S's image sensor is a Canon-made Canon says the new sensor employs technology similar to that used in its EOS SLRs, including an on-chip noise cancellation system, and microlenses which cover more of the sensor area to improve its light-gathering characteristics.
The company claims that this results in reduced noise and increased dynamic range; the maximum available ISO has accordingly been increased to A 4-channel readout system also improves the continuous shooting rate, up to 2. For real speed freaks there's also a scene mode that can capture 8 frames at an impressive 9.
The new sensor also allows the S to offer this year's must-have feature: full HD movie recording at x resolution, with a 24P output framerate. Unlike the S95, optical zoom is available while recording movies. This enhanced video capability is supported by a revised control layout, that now includes a direct movie recording button underneath your thumb on the back of the camera.
Other features enabled by the new sensor and processor include user control over noise reduction, and a white balance system that can adjust different areas of the image separately to compensate for mixed lighting when the camera is set to Smart Auto mode. The lens's optical image stabilization system has been updated too, with no fewer than 7 modes available for different purposes including macro, panning, video, and tripod work. The 'Intelligent IS' system will automatically select the mode it considers most appropriate for the current shooting situation.
The S's lens also gains a built-in neutral density filter, as seen on PowerShot G series, to allow the use of larger apertures in bright sunlight.
This not only allows you to tag images with the location at which they were taken, but also includes a logger function that can keep track of your movements regardless of whether or not you're taking pictures and plot the result on Google Maps.
In terms of external design, the S gains subtle finger and thumb grips, which should reduce the chances of it slipping from your grasp if you're not paying due care and attention. I have owned PowerShot S for a while and in many ways it worked well - for a while. Bought the S for the GPS feature which can be quite slow. In areas that are less than open a signal may not be received, but it mostly worked. The largest drawback and reason I am writing this "comment" is because my S camera just stopped working on a trip through India, Nepal and the UAE.
A message appears "Lens Error - Will shut down automatically - Restart camera". If you are planning an important vacation you may want to consider another camera.
