This camera is fantastic. I own the Panasonic GF-1, GX-1, LX7 and will continue to use them, however the S95 has proven over and over to be a fantastic pocket sized competitor, even outshining it's 'upgrade' S100 as THE go to camera. Even what would be considered generations past its release date, the S95 continues to show that Canon has made a solid impact on the point and shoot division by showing that it's not only DSLR's that can take stunning photos.I have purchased this camera for my girlfriend, both my sisters own the S95, and we are going to purchase yet another S95 for my mom, who loves taking photos but has an old and again Cybershot.The camera takes extremely sharp photos, works well in low-lighting conditions (with a steady hand of course), has brilliant color reproduction and some of the best video I've seen from a point and shoot. Sometimes it takes better photos than my own cameras, despite the huge price difference. For anyone looking for a compact, high quality camera, get this. New, used, whatever, if you find a bargain deal you'll have found an amazing wingman to save your memories.
