Canon S95 vs Fuji X100 anyone that has experience with both of these cameras- and can offer a comparison of sorts? thanks!

The S95 (or in my case, the S90) takes far better macro shots than the X100. Focus is much faster and solid. But the X100 takes 'bokeh' shots much better than the little Canon. I'm keeping both as I believe they complement each other rather well.

Canon S95 should be compared to Fuji X20. Fuji X100 (Fuji X100S) is a fixed lens camera.

I have had both the s95 and s100 and they are wonderful cameras..What I love about the Canon 120 : touch screen..great for spot focusing with stills and movies Faster Af Slow motion video option Shoots 10 fps Very sold feel....great pocket camera HDR that really works very well Terrific low light So my answer to you is I think you would be very very happy with the S120//Hope that helps Dave

I was in the same dilemma when these two products were announced. In the end I bought both and tried out... and finally returned the 4500 and kept the S95. I really liked the better PQ, wider lens, more powerful flash, and better low light performance of S95 over 4500.

S95 is for serious and budding photographers--people who spend time tweaking images in a good photo program. It has has better lens with wider aperture (for great low-light shots) and is a "faster" camera. The SX230 was Canon's first serious shot at all the smartphone photographers (who don't have an optical telephoto lens).

Fuji colors have always been great, I have been using them since the S2Pro, and the skin tones are very natural, i rarely shoot above 1600, to be honest, never really see anything other than nice detailed tones form all of my X cameras... X100s/X-E2/X-T1 my Nikon's sometimes had off skin tones causing less realistic colors, but each person has his preferences, and most of those i corrected later, in the X series, i find them to be accurate even in JPG. Bottom Line.. Skin tone if you liked your S5, buy an X... you will be right at home.

I am also considering this choice and I'm wondering if any s95 owners could answer something for me, does the S95 allow you to use add-on lenses, like telephoto and wide angle lenses, and, if so, are they 52mm lenses or 58mm? And secondly, does the S95 have a manual viewfinder or can you only frame shots using the LCD screen? I am trading up from an old Powershot A70 and I don't want to lose the features that I love so I'm thinking that I need a G12 but I'd rather get an S95 if it has the same features.

You really need to manually adjust the S95 to get the best out of it. It's a fantastic camera for those folks that know what they're doing, better pics than the S8100. But you need to work it. But if you're like most people that just sets the camera to auto and let it do all the work, the S8100 is a much better choice.

I have searched online for the same comparison b4 i bought both of the two. The thing is, because these two cameras have a lot of features, it takes a while to write or make a video to fully compare the two cameras. I did find some that tried to compare the two camers, but the reviews seemed bias to me. Overall, i like the Fuji over the Canon, but i like the Canons zoom over fuji's. One can still get the same results as the other.

I have the Fuji XF1, I can tell you that it excels in low light and is a great all-around camera. I take a lot of pictures of my kids with it. We brought it to Disney World and took around 600 photos there. The quality is very high.

For alot of folks, it comes down to the option of shooting in RAW. P300 does not shoot RAW, S95 does. Is that worth the extra +$120 (as of 10/11) for the S95? Do you even shoot in RAW? If you even know what RAW is, you should be shooting with your dSLR right now. :)B&H; photo is selling the P300 for $239 through 10-29-11. Seems like a deal too good to pass up. Upgrading my 2+ year old Canon P&S.; Boy...technology moves quickly. I'll upgrade in another 2 years when all of these P&S; cameras shoot near dSLR quality.

I think it's time from start is about standard, I am trying to find something simular out about this camera as well. I do know the FujiFilm S8100fd is simular in price and features and has some real nice fast picture modes where it will take pictures extremely fast but at the faster settings it takes them at less MP (5MP is really fast though) and it will take full res at around 1 second each. Hope that helps.

In most ways, the Fuji is the better general purpose camera: better EVF, better LCD, far better rubbery grip, slightly better battery life, better video, and a $70 or so lower price tag as a bonus. The SL1000 also has the panorama mode that Canon still ignores as well.

Firstly, congratulations! And my opinion: (1) If you want to take videos (and I am sure you will with the new baby), S95 can not change zoom and focus while shooting a video. To me, this is a very big turn off. (2) Optics (lens) on LX5 seems to be better. It takes in more light and that gives LX5 some advantage in terms of indoor/low light shooting. (3) Both cameras take great pictures but S95 JPEG images seem a little sharper. (4) LX5 has a ton of manual controls, which may be a good way to learn a lot about photography. (5) Automatic mode on both cameras are excellent. (6) S95 is noticeably smaller and more difficult to hold and control for bigger hands. (7) S95 has an automatic lens cover, while LX5 has a lens cap, which must be taken off manually before shooting a photo. Personally, I would go for LX5 because of #1 above, but it may not be such a big deal for you. Hope this helps.

The S95 has a bigger sensor than the SX230, so that in itself is a big plus for the S95.I have owned the SX230 and wasn't too impressed with its white balance and high ISO photos in low light.

I've tried both and for me the extra $100 is beyond well worth it. S100 has much better low light performance and overall picture quality(although 110HS is very good). Video looks substantially better to me as well. The S100 is truly at another level in so many aspects. The 110HS is extremely impressive for it's low price and has to be one of the best at that price range but if you have the extra money to spend you won't regret moving to the S100(assuming you don't get the dreaded lens error).

I just read your posting and it has been a month since you put it up so I don't know if your still interested in a comparison, so I will keep it brief. I got the X100 in July and the S95 a year ago but by coincidence I just took some test shots in the back yard this morning to compare the two as I will be using both at a BBQ on Sunday. The S95 looks good until you see it next to the x100. The X100 is the first digital camera I have owned where the photos look a bit more real than the other digital cameras I have used. I also have a Nikon D7000 and did some test shots while on vacation using it and the Nikon 12-24mm lens ( set at 23mm) and the X100 looks better, sharper than the $1000 Nikon12-24 lens. There are some down sides as is mentioned on many websites, but you can get used to them, or at least I did. On the video, I like the S95 by far as it is easier to get usable footage. The X100 is sharper and cleaner by a little bit, but the focus is not as good as the S95. The X100 is a great camera for what it is, and I really like mine.

I've read the S95 and S100 had significant lens error defects. That was the main reason I waited for this new version to come out which had supposedly fixed those problems.
