Canon’s latest enthusiast’s compact, the PowerShot S95, successor to the succesful PowerShot S90, has been reviewed by PhotographyBLOG. The S95, which is rather an upgrade than a successor to the S90, sports largely the same features as its predecessor, with some minor improvements here and there. Chief among these are an integrated HDR mode, multi-aspect-ratio support (meaning you can now switch between 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9 aspects without compromising the actual field-of-view) and a 720p HD movie mode.

PhotographyBLOG judge the S95 positively in comparison to the S90, stating that “[t]he Canon PowerShot S95 addresses virtually all of the issues that detracted from its predecessor – most notably the lack of HD video and sky-high price – whilst further improving the handling and customisation.”

While they do compare the S95’s body and its features side-by-side to the S90, a side-by-side comparison of the image quality in terms of resolution, texture and noise would have been interesting as well.
