In 2007, the first digital camera Canon A710 was purchased. At that time, she did not understand anything, nor did she have Aunt Zhang. She bought the option to introduce the manual mode and learn photography. The entity's price is about 2700, and it is not known whether there are other machines of the same type at that time. Two things that were last regretted that year, one was the HP notebook and the other was the Canon A710. Later, her daughter was born, thinking about taking a baby camera, and then into the Canon S100V (mainland licensed for the S100V, the other regions of the model is S100).
One, Canon S100 main parametersOut of filming baby, naturally choose to be small and portable, micro-single, SLR will not be considered. There were three choices at the time: the Sony RX100 generation, the Canon S100V, and the Nikon P300. Finally, the Canon S100V was chosen because on the one hand, the price of the black card is strong, which is basically above 3K. In addition, the Canon S100V 5x optical zoom is the largest among these 3 models.
Canon S100V, 3-inch LCD screen, equipped with DIGIC 5 image processing system, size 98.9×59.8×26.7mm, weight 198g. Compared to the previous A710 is much smaller. The metal matte shell feels good and is resistant to wear. In a few years, the appearance is still very new. This is what I am most satisfied with.
1/1.7 inch CMOS, 12 million pixels, focal length 5.2-26mm, aperture 2.0-5.9, 5X optical zoom, support IS optical image stabilization.
Second, the Canon S100 lens doorIn June 2012, Canon Taiwan and Hong Kong official website posted an announcement that the lens of the PowerShot S100 was broken due to the internal parts of the camera. Whether or not it is under warranty, this problem can be repaired free of charge. On the other hand, Canon’s policy in the mainland is that certain S100Vs in the serial number segment are detected due to communication failures in the internal parts of the camera, and free maintenance services are provided for the target products with this phenomenon. Since this is a defect in the product design itself, many machines have used the same problem for a while after maintenance. After the warranty period expires, there is no description of whether the free warranty can be issued. This is the Canon S100 lens gate incident that year.
The previously bought A710 also had a lens retraction error and went to repair it once. The S100V may be used less often and it has not been used in high temperature environments. This error did not occur. Although my mistake did not appear on this station, but the LCD screen has a problem. Anyway, I will no longer choose Canon's card machine.

Almost no tripod was used.
MINI USB and HDMI connectors.
The battery compartment is at the bottom and used the NB-5L lithium battery. The battery is also durable and has not changed the battery.
IV. ConclusionThe S100V should be the first Canon camera to change from a CCD to a CMOS camera. In addition to its small size and handy workmanship on the metal case, it can be said that other aspects are disappointing. The screen hinge is not enough, the low-quality image is not good, the focus is slow, and the video shot can only be MOV format. The listing price of 3,000, plus the camera door incident, is entirely a failure of Canon.
When I bought the S100V, a friend suggested that I could make a baby or a mobile phone. Just before the phone to take pictures, in addition to iphone other cell phone performance is not how. Nowadays, mobile phone photography has made great progress, focusing speed is faster, and mobile phone shooting baby is more convenient. Although S100V has not reached the level of retirement, it is rarely used. It is time to Say Goodbye. Let it finally make use of the residual heat, to Zhang Aunt fool some gold coins. You don't want to scold silver.
