@musicforindies This is done with a 11 dough Radio Shack mic cliped onto my shirt and connected to my 7D with a wire. It’s a decent sound for the money.
I meant to say your audio on this is fantastic very cnn presenter etc compared to your previous vids, new mic maybe ? shotgun? the rode videomic pro ? anyway like to know what you used for this it sounds perfect. thanks again
brilliant detailed review ! thanks for that, I’m going to get one for sure, thanks.
@phantomvibrationsX I didn’t know that about the sparkle. Thanks. I still like using my 7D more butt his baby is fantastic to carry when I don’t have the 7D. Fantastic info. Thanks.
At first I was concerned with the pop up sparkle–whether it can be pushed down like a cd rom without contravention it–but its made to do that it turns out. Also I use mine on a pistol grip monopod that folds out like a tripod also–so the popping up and down of the sparkle is in fact irrelevent. im really stoked and encouraged and feel terrible that i atrophied so much time and excellent shots and videos by using lesser expensive cameras. But the size is a must–and im very pleased with it.
@nate42nd Thanks for the quick answer!
Well, I’ve already got a huge DSLR, so I’m torn between the G12 and the S95. If the G12 is just small enough that you can carry it most of the time, than I’d rather have the handibility of the G12 over the more compact size of the S95. Also, I’d expect that the battery life on the G12 is longer than the S95. So to fully resolution my question I reckon I’ll need to go down and hold both cameras. Thanks so much for the answer!
@Lypur The G12 will be simpler to change settings. It’s larger and has more control dial on the camera. Far better if you plot to shoot manually and keep learning. If size is you concern the S95 will be about the same camera, but….it IS harder to change some settings. The front dial on the lens is programmable and you can use it to change very nearly anything…..just not everything. The G12 would be better IF size isn’t your main concern. It was mine when I got the S95 so I could carry it always.
Hi Nate,
One question about this camera I had that most reviews haven’t answered.
With the G12, it’s a bit bulkier, obviously this gives it better aesthetics but it also seems sweet rugged because of the extra size and grip. Does the smaller size make the S95 a more fragile camera? Also, do you find it fiddly to get the settings you want in a small time or does it handle well?
Thanks!!
hey Nate thanks for the review very informative…
I’ve been looking around at different cameras..I know im going with canon but on the fence between the S95 or sx210…the S95 has raw and focus ring…but the sx210 has a widescreen LCD, 14x optical zoom and video record button…only if the 2 were combined…
I did notice the sx series releases new models every february…maybe I should and see if the new sx model has raw and focus ring…I’m wish so…
@allennguyen113 I’d like to know as well! i’m deciding between s95 and g12. Not ready for dslr but am into phtoography and taking it as a leisure activity.
@mmarglon Wow, I hope you like it. It’s really a excellent small camera. Excellent luck to you.
Thank you for the helpful video. Ordered my S95 yesterday because of your videos.
That custom white balance function is awe-inspiring.
I’ve been vacillating between a compact and a DSLR. This seem like the perfect compromise. Reckon I’m gonna get it.
Thanks for your reviews.
@IFoundMyUsername I don’t know much aboutt he SD4500is but I know it’s a excellent camera. I reckon it has a backlit sensor which would make it fantastic in low light. I don’t know what kind of lens the 4500 has. I doubt it’s as excellent as the S95. For close up shots it will be hard to beat the S95. I have been shocked at the ability of this camera to fucus at about 2 inches form the end of the lens (or less) incredible lens with a 2.0 max gap. It does not have the long zoom, that’s terrible for some.
The image quality beats SD4500is, but the lack of optical zoom makes me bend to the SD. I am going to Kyoto next March and still did not choose which one is my money worth. But, again, as a biologist, I would prefer a best pic in macro.
@zrisca I can’t speak for the Panasonic. Canon “normally” has better IQ than Panasonic. I would recommend the Canon. If video is the “main” thing consider the panasonic as it probably records AVHC lite and has “slightly” better video. I LOVE the video my S95 has given me. S95 all the way!
Hello nate! Fantastic review! I’m looking for a compact camera to use as principal camera, and I need to choose between the s95 and the Panasonix Lumix Lx5. I want to question you wich one do you prefer regarding the image quality.
I’m very nearly chose to buy the s95 but the more wide lens of the lx5 is making me doubt. Have you tried this panasonic??
Thank you! Regards!
fantastic review
@allennguyen113 If this was going to be my only camera, I would get the G12. It’s larger and simpler to handle and change settings. But they will both have nearly exactly the same image quality. The G12 has more optical zoom, but less gap (F/2.8) All around…if you don’t need the small size of the S95 the G12 wouljd be slightly (VERY SLIGHTLY) better for me. Consider what you will be doing with it. Do you need to carry it in a pocket? The S95 will be better in low light (barely)
Nate, looking for your input on a question that is a major topic on the different forums. What would you pick: Canon S95 or Canon G12? I am looking to get into photography as a leisure activity and I am not quite ready for a dslr. Your input is much appreciated.
Thank you!
@iJsturgess Hey Jason. I’m not excellent with currency conversion, but I would look at a 500D or 550D….maybe the equivalent Nikon (D3100 most likely) But remember to NOT just use the “kit” lens. Leave room to get a starter lens. Even if you need to look at 450D refurbished and a 50mm F/1.8 II. Look around a small and also look at the used market. There are a lot of options out there. A G12 is about the same camera as the S95 but larger. It would be nice. A DSLR will give you the best IQ but.
Hey Nate like your reviews . I have a question for you …. Size isnt a problem for me but budjet is . I only have about £450 max to waste and basicly just want the best Cam/ DSLR that my kinda budjet can buy . for £450 what DSLR should i go for ? I just want a cam that will give me the best image Quality for the amount of money i have . Cheers Jason.
Awe-inspiring Nate ! Keep it up man…. I really want to know more about this camera .. Im glad I subscribed to you !
@SweetieGord I’m glad to hear that. The S90 is a fine camera. If you go up….consider a DSLR…..unless you like the size. All the best to you.
@kookiemoose They did do a excellent job with this one. The S90 was excellent….the S95 is better. They fixed all terrible features from the S90 and really made a fantastic camera here. For those looking for the “magic camera” this isn’t it. It will not have the performance of a DSLR, but this is exactly what some people are looking for. Have a excellent one moose.
