The Canon can do this, and also has an enlarged section in the centre of the screen to aid manual focussing (either by the scope's focus ring, or using the camera) The Canon writes to card very quickly though there is still a second or so delay after taking the picture. Slow to refresh and write pictures to memory card.No Raw shooting, and jpegs can be a little artificial looking, especially at higher ISO’s.
In particular, I was keen to get a camera that could deliver improvements over some of the Fuji’s shortcomings in particular the following: My old digi-scoping camera (Fuji F31fd), while still delivering decent image quality, is starting to feel a bit long in the tooth, and, having become accustomed to using a DSLR over the last 2-3 years, I was keen to try a high-end compact camera that could hopefully produce similar image quality and functionality. It seems intuitive and easy to use, and so far I have only needed to refer to the manual to see how long the battery takes to charge! I spent some time earlier in the week familiarising myself with the camera’s features, and so far I’m very impressed. I’ve had it for just under a week, and despite the on-line hype about it, I am surprised that so little has been posted here about the camera’s digi-scoping potential. I took the new Canon S95 for its first trip out yesterday.
