Camera Reviews: Canon S95 and SX130 IS

Canon has been hard at work updating its compacts with the PowerShot S95, a stylish expert compact (it's a bit like a mini G-series model), and the PowerShot SX130 IS, an affordable 12x zoom that won't take up too much room in your bag.

Although the Canon PowerShot SX130 IS may not be the most stylish compact on the block, it does have a good range of functions, including a nice 12x (28-336 mm) zoom lens and a 720p HD video mode. In fact, it'll do everything many photographers need

A year down the line from the resurrection of Canon's S series, the range once reserved for the brand's expert compacts has a new addition: the PowerShot S95. It has no major new features but a few interesting improvements such as HD video and more customisation options. On paper, it's got plenty going for it ... let's just hope it won't be overshadowed by Canon's G series expert compacts.
