Canon S100 review @ PDNonline
"I only wish the S100 was faster. All around, it felt a tick quicker than the S95 but nothing dramatic—and that camera as well as its predecessor was notoriously slow. It took the S100 nearly 2.5 seconds to start up, extend its 5x lens and be ready to take a picture. That’s actually slower than
the previous model, most likely because of the added time to unpack the S100’s longer lens.
Shot-to-shot times were a little bit faster—but still slow—while shutter lag was improved if not exactly lightning fast. This may sound like I’m griping but the performance issues are what keep the very good S100 from being a truly great camera. Since the S100’s small size and superb image quality (for its size) make it ideal for candid photography, it would be nice if it could keep up with faster moving subjects. For street photography or even moderate speed sports, the S100 isn’t up to snuff.The bump in the S100’s continuous speed is much welcome as is the special high-speed burst mode, which lets you shoot nearly 10fps. But after one of these big bursts, the camera locks up for a few seconds before you can shoot again.Also, while being able to shoot at f/2.0 in a compact is nice since it helps in low light, it’s really only achievable on the S100 if you’re shooting at 24mm. When you zoom in, the aperture gets smaller and smaller and the amount of incoming light goes bye-bye.While it was easier to overlook these similar flaws in the S100’s two predecessors, I can’t help but set the bar higher for this third-generation product.Don’t get me wrong: The S100 is still a wonderful little camera. In fact, it might be the best fixed-lens compact on the market right now. (Though my personal favorite is still the Panasonic LX5.) For a camera with a 1/1.7-inch, 12MP CMOS sensor about the size of a fingernail on your pinkie, the S100 fares surprisingly well at up to ISO 800. Meanwhile, images captured at ISO 100-200 look stellar.Also, along with the new features mentioned earlier, I liked the S100’s super-slow-motion movie recording function and its extra scene modes. And the bump up to luscious 1080p HD at 24p shouldn’t be overlooked.But all these added features come with a price: The S100 has a surprisingly high, $430 price tag, which is $30 more than the S95."(Maybe) Related articles
Canon 5D Mark 2 review by Ken Rockwell
P.S The new, Serious and more business conscious Ken Rockwell appears to have changed the wording, the context, heck, everything in his review of this camera. It is no longer "less responsive than his kids toys", and not worse of all Nikon DSLRs ever made. It (the Canon EOS 5D Mark II) is now better than any Nikon at almost everything, and overall, one of the best cameras ever made. Go figure. Quote of his old review, and our comment at the bottom of this post.
Canon Powershot G1X review @ Photoreview.au
Will Canon ever release a compact camera system? Yes, they pretty much have to. In the meantime they stuffed an aps-c sensor in some oversized g12ish body, and came up with this:

Canon Powershot S100 review by Ken Rockwell
It will be interesting to see how the S100 will hold against the onslaught of other prosumer cameras available or just announced. This field is quickly becoming as saturated as the digicam or bridge camera segment.
