1- Canon Company says that the new sensor employs technology similar to that used in its EOS SLRs, including an "on chip" noise cancellation system, and microlenses that cover more of the sensor area to improve its light-gathering characteristics. Canon said that this results in reduced noise and increased dynamic range; the maximum available ISO has been increased to 6400.

2-Four channel readout system also substantially improves the continuous shooting rate, up to 2.3 fps compared to the S95's 0.9 fps. This mean capability to capture 8 frames at an impressive 9.6 fps, but it's limited to JPEG images only, with no manual control.

4-Canon S100 debuts Canon's latest DIGIC 5 image processor is six times faster than the previous version, allowing more sophisticated image processing and noise reduction.

5- Canon S100 new sensor offer :full HD movie recording at 1920x1080 resolution, with a 24P output frame rate. Unlike the S95, and optical zoom is available while recording movies. This work to enhance video capability is supported by a revised control layout, that now includes a direct movie recording button underneath your thumb on the back of the camera.
