Canon PowerShot S

The Canon PowerShot S is a series of digital cameras released by Canon, as part of the wider PowerShot range.

The PowerShot ELPH line is a branch of the S-series, due to its model number designations in the United States (with the S- and SD- prefixes), as well as the similarities between the PowerShot ELPH S100 and the PowerShot S10 From the PowerShot S90 onwards the S-series continues a line of Canon compact digital cameras that commenced with the Ixus 900Ti and feature the Digic image processors and larger than average sensors as fitted to the advanced PowerShot G-series cameras.

The Ixus / S-series and the equivalent G-series models are listed below: (* The Ixus 900Ti and 960IS feature a titanium body.)

The S1 to SX70 series consists of ultra-zoom cameras, having longer zoom ranges and a more extensive list of features.

The SX100 and later SX models are a more compact, affordable spin-off.

The "SX" stands for "Super Zoom."

All S and SX models feature image stabilization, and most have full manual controls.
