This PowerShot S95 camera seems to be loved by buyers and gets high marks for night time shooting and HD videos. While i don’t own this model i have owned multiple point and shoot cameras from canon and i definitely recommend them. Our latest one, the PowerShot SX200IS has survived multiple attempts on its life by my wife including dropping it while the lens was extended and getting beach sand into the flash mechanism. The one shortcoming that the SX200 has in my experience is its night time capabilities, something that the PowerShot S95 seems to do well. Note that despite their similar looks different models seems to have different characteristics and capabilities – so be sure to take time to research the exact model you want to buy.
