I thought that was Canon's code for a backlit CMOS sensor?

I couldn't believe what a world of difference IS made when we got our first A series with it. HS sounds yummierc-law said:Hybrid Stabilisation.robert55 said:One [undoubtedly stupid] question: what does HS stand for?
It is the newest form of Canon's IS technology as introduced by the latest 100L macro lens.

How much of that is Digic V, and how much is the sensor itself? CMOS sensors read out faster than CCD sensors.

Ummmm...no. You're referring to Hybrid IS (H-IS) in the 100L Macro, which corrects for angular motion like traditional IS, and for translational shift. There is no system in PowerShots that corrects for translational shift.
HS = high-sensitivity, and refers to the combination of sensor technology and Digic image processing that allows for cleaner (relatively, at least) shots in low light conditions.

Indeed, good point. This may be a stupid question (im not afraid to ask), but in the end were there any real benefits of CCD over CMOS i know there were supposedly in the early days, but what about in recent times? i assume Canon would have stuck with CCD if there were so maybe ive answered my own question.

I think the S100's macro/hybrid IS mode is designed to correct for shift-type camera shake.

neuroanatomist said:IMO, definitely a worthwhile upgrade for my S95. I'll be ordering one when they become available!
gmrza said:What it does raise an interesting question about is a G13 - The S and G series have after all shared sensors.
What I am also wondering about is whether we will see built in GPS coming to more Canon cameras. That will be interesting to see.
