Canon PowerShot S95: Our Favorite Point-and-Shoot Gets 720p Video!

The PowerShot S90  is our longstanding favorite point-and-shoot, and one of its few shortcomings was that it couldn't do HD video. The updated S95 shoots 720p video and does it in a slightly smaller body.

In addition to bringing the 720p HD video people have long been clamoring for, the S95 features an in-camera HDR mode for easily creating those vibrant, eyeball-popping shots. It's also the first PowerShot to get Canon's Hybrid IS image stabilization system. It's also a hair thinner than the S90, which was already plenty pocketable.

Otherwise, it has the same guts as the S90—3.8x optical zoom, an excellent f/2.0 lens, and that sweet, sweet manual control ring on the front. You can scoop an S90 up for around Php 16,500 now if you're not dead set on HD video, but if you are, the S95 will be available later this month for an estimated Php 20,000.
