Canon Powershot S90
Using the S90, the combination of user-friendly technology, small size and sheer DSLR power is quite addictive. With this new S-series model Canon has raised the bar on compact camera technology, but there's more to a camera than circuitry and some handling issues need to be addressed.

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.

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
- Extensive photographic feature set

Cons:

- No noise reduction options
- JPEG NR too strong at higher ISO settings
- Video limited to VGA resolution
- Lack of grip and smooth,...

- Price

The Canon PowerShot S90 is a high-end point & shoot camera that takes great photos and provides great manual controls for serious shooters. The video it captures is lackluster, though.

Nicely made and capable of great images, the Canon PowerShot S90 is a worthy alternative to low-end DSLRs

Reviews: Canon PowerShot S90: Review
The 10.0 megapixel image capture and movie recording specs, while impressive, are not something that helps the S90 stand out on value when compared with other digital compact cameras on the market.

Good Reliable Camera
Good Reliable Camera. For the price I paid I would have hoped the picture quality was better, nothing special. Purchased a Nikon 3200 for cheaper and it's a much better camera.

[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).
