Canon PowerShot S95 Digital Camera - £199.95 at Amazon

firegalley246firegalley246

I don't think this needs any more introduction. A great camera to have with you when you don't want to lug that dslr around, even if it is a little "old".

First time it's been on sale for £200, according to camelcamelcamel.

Free amazon basics camera case as well.

    On camelcamelcamel it said the price dropped around 6:15 pm last night, yet I didn't get the notification until just before I posted the deal, so was surprised to see no one else had mentioned it.

    whats the advantages of the CHDK rozza? any chance of screwing up the camera in the process?

    Cheers....

    Have a read of this http://images.wikia.com/chdk/images/2/24/CHDK_Quick_Start_User_Guide_-_Booklet.pdf - It basically adds features that the camera may not have.

    excellent camera. Cant ask more form a point and shoot if all you want is pics. if you want video as well, then there are better options out there. Had mine since it first came out at £300+ and its the most used camera i have. and like rozza38, it is a more usable alternative to my Nikon setup.... D700, D200 and F2.8's........ :)

    The reason this camera is now cheaper is that it has been superseeded by the S100.

    The S100 can be had from £250

    Great price! Tempted to go for this.
    Is it £250 for the UK version with full warranty?

    I've been looking into these recently (S95/S100). Unfortunately £250 gets you a grey import. If you want a UK version it's gonna cost you in excess of £350. Also, great price and heat added. I pretty much decided on buying a Nikon P300, but this has now come along to change my mind!

    I was tempted by the S100 for £250 but its not for a UK version. With the potential of the lens error still haunting the S95 and s100, this makes it a no go.

    However I am tempted by the s95. very tempted. Just need to decide if I can live without 1080 video quality and video refocusing and work out where I can buy a grip to stick to the front of this slippery b*gger.

    Despite what other people want you to believe, It is possible to get the S100 with a local warranty for £255 delivered from DigitalRev here

    The lens error issue is not a problem for over 95% of buyers. Should you get a problem, send it in for repair! Simple.

    For a review on the same page
    Very speedy delivery from Hong Kong.

    Where did you get the local warranty information from?

    I've read this and don't feel any more confident on te local warranty issue

    Thanks. I see many on ebay at a similar price, some with 'warranty' but doesn't appear to be with Canon directly.
    If I can get one of the newer batches, I might go for this.
    I can ask the ebay sellers to check the serial number - for peace of mind.

    Out of interest, how can you tell what is a newer serial number ?

    From the link I posted earlier - http://www.amazon.com/review/R1TL9NUTAYN0BF/

    Anything starting with 42 and later:

    The first and second digits of the camera's serial number are any number from "29" through "41". For example: "29xxxxxxxxxx", "30xxxxxxxxxx"........."41xxxxxxxxxx"
