A very good camera, but takes some getting used to as the numerous controls are not as intuitive as they might be.

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.
