Pros:
- Superb control ring on lens
- Excellent image quality
- Able to shoot raw files
- Compact body
- Straightforward design
Cons:
- Rear controller can be frustrating
- Lack of a hi-def movie mode

Canon S90 Review: Will Go With Me Everywhere
It's got the same spacious image sensor as the G11 -1/1.7-inch as opposed to 1/2.5-inch like most point-and-shoots. But instead of being built into a Panzer tank, it's in the body of a hot German model.

Review: Canon S90
Usually I'd spend a lot of time running down 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.
Pros:
- Awesomely fast lens
- Granular control over just about any aspect of your shots that you can think of
- Slick control ring
- Quick startup and shooting
Cons:
- Slightly bulkier than the smallest pocket cams
- Backside controls are a little cramped

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).

[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

- typical high-quality Canon photos
- extensive photo adjustments via control dials
- excellent LCD screen
Cons:
- Watch your fingers with pop-up flash
- button placement takes getting used to
- slow frame rate
- no HD video
- worse-than-average battery life
