Abstract: The Canon S90’s 28-105 mm lens doesn’t seem affected by geometric distortion at wide-angle: the JPEG images and the image on the LCD display don’t show any distortion to speak of.But looking at the raw images from the S90, we got ...
Compact proportions, fast lens, lens control ring, Raw mode, good quality LCD screen, overall image quality, fast startup
Operation hampered by a few design issues, flash sometimes raised when not needed, some WB inaccuracies, mode dial stiff and slightly inaccessible
Ultimately, the appeal of this camera is that it is the smallest on the market to feature Raw capture, and a less pricey alternative to the G11 - which has an identical sensor. The expanded ISO range, fast lens and high-resolution LCD screen only add ...
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. If you own a PictBridge printer you might wish to take...

Very small body that is easily pocketable, Excellent, high-res, vibrant LCD, Fast f/2 lens at wide-angle, Optical image stabilization, Front Control ring is handy for some controls, Firm Mode dial, Shooting-priority design means camera is always ready ...
Rear Control dial turns freely, which causes inadvertent exposure changes, Front Control ring's function changes with the mode, Zoom control takes too long to respond, Flash is placed where fingers are usually in the way, preventing it from opening, P...
Canon gets extremely close to the ideal pocket camera with the PowerShot S90, close enough that a great majority of users will be extremely happy with it. These fall into two groups: those content to shoot primarily in Auto mode, as we're all pretty u...
Pocketable body with great controls, 3.8x zoom with f2.0 aperture at 28mm, Great quality 3in / 460k screen, Full manual contro, RAW files and HDMI.
No HD movies or zooming when filming, Slow burst shooting – below 1fps at full res, Panasonic LX3 better-featured, M4/3 better for noise and shallow DOF.

With its impressive image quality, all around superb performance, and sleek good looks, the Canon PowerShot S90 should be at the top of any photographic enthusiast’s wish list. While I tend to be quite reserved in my praise for compact cameras, largely...
