Just ordered my S95 yesterday. Should get it next week. Back in 2002-2004 I took 10,000 shots with my Sony 5Mb DSC F707. Haven't done much since, but I'm excited to get the new S95.

Hi there,
I've ordered my S95 and should get it in 2 day's time. Can't wait!
It's an upgrade to my previous camera, the Canon Powershot A80, which has finally given up the ghost.

in-laws just bought me on for my birthday. got some great shots already. cant wait to wake up tomorrow and take more.

Hi there - what a great idea this site is ! Last year I bought a Canon EOS 50D with some good quality lenses to replace my film SLR. It cost a fortune all up and it's quite big & heavy. Since getting my S95, the 50D has been kind of forgotten. I take the S95 everywhere and the pictures it takes are every bit as good as the SLR.

What can I say... I'm as stoked as everyone else is about this camera.
My S90 "wows" me every time I use it... I expect that the S95 will totally blow me away!
Looking forward to lots of show and tell.

Sue: Happy Birthday! Please do report back, very interested pushing the S95's low light abilities in no-flash situations...

Welcome to S95site, everyone!

I just bought an S95 to replace an S90 that I "lost" in Europe. I used the former camera for 9 months and loved it. I'm hoping to enjoy the increased functionality of the S95.

Hello guys... (and girls) I'm Syf from Malaysia. Just bought my s95 last September, for a trip to Vietnam, and it proved to be a very neat little camera; very convenient to use. Hope i can learn a lot on this forum... see you around! :)

Hi!! does anyone know how to post images to this site!!!???...tried copy/pasting code from flikr...but no success :( HELP!

Hi Guys, I just came across this forum yesterday and was delighted to see that it all for the s95. I have had this camera for a month now and it still amazes me how such a small camera can give great results. I hope I can learn a few things on how to improve my limited photography skills from the collective wisdom of this forum.

hi folks,

Got the s95 about 2-3 weeks ago, so I am still in the learning curve not only with regards to the camera, but digital photography in general.

I happen to stumble upon this site almost randomly yet it has been very helpful, and want to just say thank you!

Hi all! What a great site - thanks for making it :) I just got my S95 a week ago and am loving it so far. I did print photography in the 90's with a Minolta SLR, but haven't used anything but basic point-and-shoot digitals until now. I'm having a great time!

Hi everybody, Thank you all for sharing your questions and answers with us all. I saw some very interesting things by now and already learned one or two things on the S95. It is the best p&s camera I ever owned and it will replace my old lady (300D).

Hello from PL! Bought my S95 (plus 2 additional batteries LOL) four weeks ago so it's time to be more serious about digital photography now:) I've been using a couple of p&s cameras in the past but always in that damn Auto/SCN mode so every picture looked almost the same and I mean really bad:) I've spent last two weeks studying all the basics about ISO,aperture, shooter speed, white balance, deep of field, lenses, composition etc and it's amazing how much you can improve your pictures quality if you know how to setup your camera properly!:) I'm glad I've found this site!

hi i just got my canon s95 and its the best point and shoot camera (auto setting) ...Hoping to get advise on this site with all the great features of the s95 specially the manual setting ....thank you for creating this helpful site for s95 users

Hi - I live in England and have listed photography as a hobby for more than 50 years. I don't claim to be an expert - many of my shots are just records of the moment rather than carefully composed pictures - but I have owned many different cameras over the years - just about every type you can imagine - and understand the subject pretty well. However, I can honestly say that I've never looked forward to a new camera more than the S95 that I have just ordered. It has to be one of the most exciting all-round cameras ever made. I've always been a Canon fan and currently have an EOS 20D SLR with some nice lenses, plus an Ixus 80is, as a 'go-anywhere'. After reading the great reviews of the S95 I have decided to treat myself and replace the Ixus. Best price I can find is from Amazon UK, and I can't wait for it to arrive. I was thrilled to find this site and hope to be able to contribute in due course, as well as benefiting from the knowledge of other members - long may it continue. Best wishes for 2011, Al.

Hi Al, fellow Englander! my S95 was a surprise for my birthday in November and was just SO excited when I opened my box from Amazon, I had made some noises about this fantastic camera and someone listened :) :)

Look forward to hearing what you think about it.

Hi everyone,

I'm from Denmark. Perhaps the first Danish member so far? I got my S95 for my birthday in December. I've had lots of compact cameras, mostly Canon. My previous camera, though, was a Samsung which I have been quite pleased with (very nice colour quality) - once I got used to its touch-screen functionality. Now with the S95 I have to get used to the "old" browse menu functionality again... so far I still find it a bit slow going. For example, selecting among the various modes in SCN you have to scroll through them - in the touch-screen Samsung I got all the options up on the screen with one click and then it was just a matter of clicking on the one I wanted. It was definitely faster.

The main reason I wanted the S95 was to try to get more control, particularly aperture control to get a shallower depth of field for portrait photos. But I'm having trouble getting this to work. I'll post a question later on this specifically.

So far I'm pleased with the camera and I particularly like the low-light/nightshot mode. It seems to give some excellent pictures.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here and hope to learn lots of tips and tricks on using my S95!

Happy New Year to all,

I'm close to Chicago, USA. I've had my S95 for about a month now. I'm not claiming any expertise, but I am claiming lots of enjoyment from this little gem ;-) Also from this website! I hope to be a contributor at some point. Not just a consumer.

I think I bought the last S95 because they became out of stock, at the lower price, everywhere after I ordered!

I'm coming from a Casio EX-S10A so I don't know much about camera settings but i'm learning fast!

I hope to learn much more at this site.

Again, welcome to all!

@billyradio - Nice shots, think I like the Raisin River better than the Volt, though. :) Feel free to start a new thread for new topics by clicking the big red button on the upper right corner.

I was stunned to see how good this video was. I didn't buy the camera to shoot videos but this has really made me think again.

Hi, I am trying to learn how to use this camera more. I feel very glad there is a forum specifically for s95.

Thanks for the warm welcome syf!

@Coldheart: very interested to see what -30C looks like. Put a jacket on and get out there! I mean, er.. welcome to s95site!
