Canon PowerShot S90 review
The Canon PowerShot S90 compact digital camera is the best pocketsize model we've seen. Even though it’s a fraction of the size of a digital SLR, it provides many of the features we value in larger cameras: a fast lens, a RAW option and high ISO capture. It’s not perfect by any means.

Canon Powershot s90 camera
I'm a freelance photographer. I photograph a lot of events. Even though I'm the "official" photographer they hired to cover their event, you can't believe how many times I've been asked NOT to shoot so many pictures because people complained that the flash is annoying and distracting.

Canon Powershot S90
The S90 marks the re-introduction of Canon's acclaimed PowerShot S series. Aimed at the serious amateur or professional photographer, it combines full manual capability with the simple design of a point-and-shoot, all in a pocket size camera with near-DSLR performance.

Best Point and Shoot Ever
This Camera is just awesome the pictures are amazing and it's so compact and portable you'll carry it everywhere and never miss a shot, I originally bought the LX3, but it just wasn't portable enough, this camera is great for novices or experts with all the slr settings, and a great auto mode.

There's been something of a 'serious compact camera' renaissance in the last couple of years, led by Panasonic with the LX series and Canon with the G9/10/11. That said, the choices for the enthusiast wanting full photographic control in a pocketable package are still very limited (even the LX3 is...

- particularly at lower ISO settings
- Well optimized JPEGs

- JPEG NR too strong at higher ISO settings
- Video limited to VGA resolution
- Lack of grip and smooth,...
