Product Description
Canon's storied S Series gets a revitalized new leader in the slimmer, lighter, PowerShot S90, the perfect everyday camera for people who are serious about great photography. Image quality is superb thanks to the new High Sensitivity System and higher ISO speeds, plus an exceptionally bright f/2.0 lens that makes portraits and low-light shots come to life. Photography enthusiasts will love the new control ring at the base of the lens barrel, designed for intuitive, pro-style manual control.
FEATURES: - 10-megapixel sensor coupled with Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor - The PowerShot S90 employs a 10-megapixel High Sensitivity System by combining a powerful CCD sensor and Canon's DIGIC 4 Image Processor.

With a robust feature set that meets an advanced amateur's exacting standards, the compact PowerShot S90 fits the bill.

 Like handling a slippery bar of soap September 7, 2010
Photog 73 (Philly, PA)
Based on the hype and stellar (bordering on breathless) reviews I REALLY want to like this camera.
This, on paper, is a semi-pro, pocketable, low-light wonder for a fairly reasonable price
On Paper.
In actual use, a disappointment for 2 reasons.
-Ergonomics are HORRIBLE. Body is SLIPPERY, difficult to get a firm grip on shiny plastic/metal. Flash is located where your left fingers would fall naturally.
-Power button is oddly located. Does not seem like a big deal, but is in the field. The power button is concave and somehow is located in the middle of the camera body???
Picture quality is hard to judge critically since I could never get a firm, steady grip on it and the ergomonics irritated the heck of out me. The output I did take as JPEG, was OK, with somewhat soft details and naturals colors. Metering, for a compact is above average and seems better then most at avoiding blown out highlights.
Picture quality overall is fine.
Ironically, the placement of the rear dial, which many reviewers have complained spins too easily or is too easy to brush, was fine in actual use.
The much vaunted front dial on the lens barrel is, again, fine in concept, but in practice is tricky to adjust while attempting to compose AND to keep your fingers from hitting the lens barrel.
Bottomline-A nice idea in practice, but in reality, just does not live up to it's hype. I returned it.
 Great camera September 6, 2010
Michael T. Repucci (Fresno, CA USA)
Bought S90 to replace SD850 which I really liked and wanted to keep. After using it on 3 week vacation I am as happy with its features and picture quality as I am with my 50D. My only issures are the battery won't last a full day of shooting and the dial on the back of the camera is a little too easy to turn (switching functions). Otherwise great, versatile camera for those interested in more than just a point and shoot.
Best. Camera. Ever. September 6, 2010

It's about time they made a camera like this. GREAT low light. GREAT options. I love this thing. It's my favorite!
Nice camera September 6, 2010

Love this camera...and have taken some great shots with it! It is a bit heavier and bulkier than I expected- but the power makes up for it. Definitely worth the price for the quality.
 Powershot S90 by Cannon September 2, 2010
Dennis Perez
This camera has served me well, as my backup camera. I take it to more hazardous events (weather, shock, etc.) A few people say that they don't like the build quality and that it is almost too small. It's not an issue for me b/c I have small hands to begin with. It is very light, but no lighter than other point-and-shoots that I've used, and for the quality of the pictures, well worth the money spent. It would be nice if the battery lasted a little longer though! I read tons of reviews on this camera before biting the bullet and buying one of my own. I was torn between this and the next model up in price. I am not a pro photographer and just wanted something I could fit easily into my purse when I didn't want to lug heavy equipment with me on day trips. Because the size was so important to me, I opted for this model. I am not disappointed at all - I like this camera and continue to be impressed at the beautiful the images coming SOOC.
