[REVIEW-CANON POWERSHOT S90]
This10 megapixel camera is a svelte variation on Canon's top compact, the G11. The fast 28–105mm lens is image stabilised. File formats include RAW for serious shooters. There is the usual PTAM user controls over exposure and in addition some of these functions can be assigned to a ring around the...
Pros:
- Picture quality – exposure, sharpness, contrast, colour – from the S90 is outstanding for a compact
- Like the G11 it now stands at the top of the heap for image quality from a small camera
- Canon's well-evolved ergonomics, which differ only slightly from earlier S models, are also class leading
Cons:
- We regret the passing of the optical viewfinder
- Our S50 of seven years ago had one
- For such a well conceived and made camera that appeals to serious photographers as an alternative to their DSLR the viewfinder is a loss

Canon PowerShot S90 Review
When I first read about the Canon S90 , back in August of this year, I held out hope that it was the pocketable camera I was looking for to complement my Nikon D90. The only thing pocketable I had was a Canon SD200 (yeah, ancient).

Canon S90 Review: Will Go With Me Everywhere
It's got the same spacious image sensor as the G11 -1/1.7-inch as opposed to 1/2.5-inch like most point-and-shoots. But instead of being built into a Panzer tank, it's in the body of a hot German model.

A Revolutionary Compact - The Canon PowerShot S90
A surprise release from Canon, the PowerShot S90 features the large sensor from the G-series in a smaller body together with full manual controls. Does the combination of prosumer sensor and compact body work?

Canon PowerShot S90 compact camera
Tweet Canon's little black number, the S90, hides some powerful innovation in a very compact body. The most import being the control ring round its lens and also some excellent low-light shooting abilities.
Pros:
- Control ring
- low light shooting
- power in a compact body
- RAW
Cons:
- Control dial too sensitive
- no HD video

The Canon S90 Digital Camera Review
During my time with the Canon S90 I went form hot to cold on a few occasions. I loved the camera for its size, weight, and simplicity. I loved the fact that I could just slide it in my front pocket and take it with me EVERYWHERE. This resulted in me getting images I would usually not get.
Pros:
- Small and sleek
- Thin and pocketable, Good color, Great AF for this class of camera, Control Ring is awesome and customizable, Battery life is very good, Image Stabilization, ISO great up to 800, usable to 1600, A 28-105 Built in lens, Price
Cons:
- Plasticky Build
- Movie mode is NOT HD
- Lens has some barrel distortion at widest setting
- but most will never notice it
- Limited Dynamic Range
- but this goes with most small sensor compacts (highlights can blow out easily

Review – Canon S90, Part 3: Image Quality
No camera is perfect, and the S90 is as far from it as the best of them, yet it is still eminently useful. I will not be returning it nor selling it off, and I foresee it giving me a few good years of use as a pocket cam.
Pros:
- Small
- light and pocketable
- Good JPEGs and RAW files (superb for a P&S
- Impressive high ISO performance for a P&S
- Fast f/2 aperture at the wide end
- Superb auto WB which can be manually fine-tuned
- PASM shooting modes plus very useful Custom mode
- Highly customisable buttons and dials (including...
Cons:
- Manual mode disables auto ISO (Canon
- give us auto ISO in M mode!
- Manual focus offers a poor distance scale and no indication of depth of field
- Manual focus mode "disappears" when camera goes into sleep mode
- No hyperfocal focus mode
- No way to turn off sleep mode
- No RAW shooting in modes other...

Canon PowerShot S90 Review
The Canon S90 is a photographer's compact camera. If you owned any of the recent Canon G-series cameras, you will appreciate the S90 as more of a compact version of that series. The S90 delivers control and flexibility that has been taken away from the user in so many other compact camera models
