Description — Canon PowerShot S95
The Canon PowerShot S95 is a compact point-and-shoot built around a 10MP 1/1.7-inch sensor, delivering a meaningful capture resolution in a genuinely portable form. The body is constructed from metal and plastic, measuring 100 x 58 x 30 mm and tipping the scales at just 195g — light enough to slip into a jacket pocket without a second thought. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is on hand to help keep shots sharp during handheld use, while an ISO range of 80 to 3200 lets you adapt to shifting light conditions. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD resolves at 461,000 dots, making it easy to review images and compose shots with clarity.
Autofocus uses contrast detection across a 9-point area. Storage options include SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera connects via USB. Video is available at 30fps, and photo output uses the sRGB color profile.
The NB-6L Lithium-ion battery powers the whole package.
