Canon’s PowerShot S95 is an advanced, compact digital camera for photographers looking for outstanding low light performance and manual control in a pocket-sized body.

The popular lens Control Ring, introduced with the PowerShot S90, has been improved with greater levels of flexibility, while a bright, f/2.0 lens and Canon’s HS System provide an even more powerful basis for low light and creative photography.

The PowerShot S95 is also the first-ever Canon compact to feature Hybrid IS technology, providing improved image stabilisation for macro photography.

Improving on both the size and handling of its predecessor, the PowerShot S95 features a slim body – just 29,5 mm thick – an improved multi-control dial and an external coating to improve slip-resistance and grip.

The camera offers RAW format shooting and support for Canon’s Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software.

The highly anticipated Canon South Africa Expo is happening again this year from 29 Nov to 1 Dec at the Sandton Convention Centre. You’ll not only be amongst the first to see and touch Canon’s latest technologies, but you’ll also be able to rub shoulders with some of SA’s foremost photographers and industry experts.
