"Very Disappointed"
Pros: None -- Don't Buy This Camera!
Cons: Video Quality, Field and Low Light Issues
Summary: I was so excited about this camera, I bought it on ebay from Japan. I cannot tell you what a monumental disappointment it is.
In a side-by-side test with the video I shoot from my canon powershot 630, I note the following:
1. Overall quality SUCKS compared with my powershot
2. Field of view is maybe half or slightly more than my powershot.
3. Even though I could actually see more in low-light shots with the S150 (barely), the video is much grainier and not enjoyable to watch.
4. The night-vision is a joke unless you are on a tripod. Otherwise, it is one big blur.
Do not buy this camera for low-light shots, or where you need to shoot full body from head to toe anywhere up close.
In all but the lowest light my powershot is clearer, faster, easier to use. Most importantly, my powershot fits in my jeans. The S150 is small, but will require a jacket pocket, which means (for me) I will bring it a lot less often.
Anyway, I could be wrong, but as far as I can tell, this is the same camera as the S100 retooled for higher density SD cards.
There is no jump in technology here.
