DPReview just released a preview on S100 with pictures for comparison.

The far side objects kinda of looking poor as compared with the rest. Seems like S95 looks better in those far corners than S100.

patience... just launched and a lot of s95 to clear. US clearing S95 online now so good time to get. i just sold my s95 last week for this. wondering what SG price will be considering its USD429 in Amazon.

aErOpLaNe911, mind sharing where you bought it from?

Where did you get this? Amazon + Comgateway?

best buy new jersey. entire manhattan was out of stock. hand carry back.

it cost US$429.99 plus 10% tax. plus bus fare to get there (about US$15), plus 90 minutes of travelling.

and a sandisk 16gb for US$24.99 plus 10% tax.

battery life is surprisingly short, even with gps turned off. so add a phottix nb5l ($20) from rdp to the bill.

and a lowepro apex 20aw. and a cheapo desktop tripod. both the pouch and the mini-tripod were purchased eons ago, but had never been used. so add them to the bill.

so total bill is about $675?

 

[aErOpLaNe911]

after some reflection, would I have gotten the S100 if i could turn back time?

honestly.... no.

i would have waited for the S95 to drop in price, as it has now.

the S100 is a great camera, but the S95 isn't really that far behind at all.

just my $0.02 worth...

its a different lens - the s100 is a longer zoom... so I'd expect tradeoff quality and reach.

real life pic shots for the s100 looks very promising...look through the comments posts for references.
