After hemming and hawing between the Canon Powershot S95 and the Canon Powershot G12, I finally decided to buy the S95. Most reviews comparing the 2 would basically say that both cameras are practically the same camera. One is just bigger and more ergonomic, while the other is more compact and slightly cheaper. Given my budget constraints, I opted for the more affordable of the 2. I’m not complaining, seeing it after I took it out of the box made me tingle in places I cannot reveal. I had goosebumps! I’m definitely very happy with my decision, but now I’m bracing myself for the matching underwater set-up that goes with the camera. The strobe alone would cost more than the camera itself, and that doesn’t include the arm and the tray, etc. that come with strobes. So good luck to my wallet on that. Hopefully by next year I’d have the budget for the strobe set-up. For now, I’ll spend my time getting to know my baby a little better.
Congrats chico, pang ilang camera mo na yan… dami ah… panu na yung isa mong underwater cam?
congrats! so when is your garage sale of cameras?
Hey Chico! Pls post your personal review of the camera. You were instrumental in making me buy the Canon D10. I am so pleased with it. You might make me buy this as well. But, why bother for another camera when you have several already? : )
I have been reading up on this camera for some time now. I’m still undecided between this and the Lumix LX3. I’ve had good experience with Canon cameras, so I’m learning towards this. Your feedback would be much appreciated though. I’d rather hear from an actual user than a review most of the time.
Cheers!
congrats! it was indeed the better choice!
oo nga chico. what do you do with your other cams? do you even use them pa?
just wondering
Hello Chico! Apart from the price, what made you choose S95 than G12? I am also in dilemma with this! Hope you can enlighten me!

Hi Chico,
I’m not only an avid fan of you as an RX dj, a blogger of this highly acclaimed site but also am a fan of you as a photographer. I am virgin when it comes to photography and I am thinking of giving myself a present by buying a compact system camera. I am in a dilemma of whether to go for a PANASONIC LUMIX G2 or SONY NEX5.
Anticipating with thanks for your thoughts about this.
Regards,

I was able to take good pictures right out of the box. They are clear.
The camera goes from light to dark conditions very well for great pictures in any light.
I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who wants a
small digital camera that is easy to use.
