Overall, this is probably the best pocket camera on the market for the money. If you need/want the manual controls and best possible image quality in a compact camera, this is the one for you. If you don't need all those controls, get one anyways - you'll love the output from this camera.
Pros:
  • durable
  • good IQ
  • front control dial
  • WB trim
  • good colors out of the camera
  • sharp
  • very customizable
  • fast lens
  • good zoom range
  • fun to use
Cons:
  • limited zoom range
  • only 15s long exposures
  • AV mode only allows 1s shutter speed
  • slippery finish
  • rear control dial spins easily

The Powershot S90 is a solid camera. Cosmetically, it is very eye appeasing... slick, clean, professional. It's also extremely small and light but high quality and sturdy at the same time. Not only does it feel perfect in the hands, but it can take a very nice shot as well. Battery life is decent.

" Canon PowerShot S90 Is A Powerful Compact Camera "

After doing extensive research, I purchased the Canon PowerShot S90.  I knew that I wanted high quality pictures but I wasn't willing to carry around a huge digital SLR.  I was willing to give up the ultra-compact size when I saw the crispness of the photos taken by the S90.

Pros:
  • Compact size
  • Fast lens
  • Very good images
Cons:
  • Slighty expensive
  • No HD movie mode
  • Shorter zoom range

Canon S90

Buy an S90. The S90 is one of those cameras that will get more and more popular throughout its typically short product cycle life, and then the prices will skyrocket as it goes out of stock just at the peak of demand. Order yours today to avoid the rush.

Canon PowerShot S90 Review

The arrival of the ‘affordable' digital SLR saw most manufacturers slowly withdrawing from the high end compact camera market, but recently models like the Canon G9/G10/G11 and Panasonic's LX3 have shown that there is still demand for pocketable cameras with real photographic controls.

Canon PowerShot S90

It's been a while since the launch of the PowerShot S80 – 5 years to be precise. The PowerShot S90 is more than just a redesigned version of its predecessor – the S80. The camera offers functionality and usability that hasn't quite been implemented in any other S-series camera.
