Canon PowerShot S90 review

The Canon PowerShot S90 compact digital camera is the best pocket-size 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.

Excellent for compact at low ISO. I 've been using it for 5 months (i bought one second hand for 200a??). I also have a Canon 500D 18-200IS. I ve ended up using more the S90 as I can always carry it with me. It is a good camera compared to all compacts.

Canon S90

Usually I'd spend a lot of time running through features and talking about performance before giving you the bottom line on Canon's new pocketable camera. But I just can't be coy about this one. The S90 is the best compact camera I've ever used. Oh, you'd like to hear more? Certainly.

I own Nikon D300 and I dare to say I am extremely fussy when it comes to picture quality. For example I would not rate the Panasonic TZ5, 6, or 7 at all. I use to own Canon Powershot S70 and picture was acceptable for a compact point and shoot camera.
Pros:
  • picture quality superb
  • handling the best of all compacts
  • could rival many DSLRs
Cons:
  • woried if the pop up flash would last if dust gets in
  • Holding the camera may surprise you when the pop up flash push your finger away

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.

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.

Tricky to use but great shots

A very good camera, but takes some getting used to as the numerous controls are not as intuitive as they might be. Zoom is a bit fiddly (Canon could learn a lot from Nikon on that one) and the main mode control is right under your thumb or finger when you grab the camera to take it out of its case,...

A Powerful Camera in a Small Package

Appearance/Design: Without even looking at a single picture, people have complimented me on the camera. The S90 is very sleek and looks professional. I personally was against a camera that used a cell battery (as compared to AA or AAA batteries), but that makes the camera look much nicer.
