Canon PowerShot S90IS 10MP Digital Camera user reviews

    "I was a little hesitant to by a brand new model of Canon, but this camera seemed to have all the features I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised at how compact and light it was, despite the fact that it\'s jam packed with great features. The pictures it takes are beautiful... such an improvement over my past small/lightweight cameras (various Cannons). I haven\'t had a chance to use all the features in this camera, but so far so good! "
    "I needed a camera that had to be portable,with wide angle,able to take good low light shots and most importantly have \"Raw image\" capability. Canon S901S gave me all this and more. When I placed the order with Amazon it was out of stock but as always Amazon came through and shipped it is less than a week. I have used it for more than a month now I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I use it for work taking pictures of different design projects & the ease of use plus image quality is amazing.One minor design flaw that I find irritating is the placement of press button to take pictures. It is placed to far inside, while taking a picture one tends to instinctively reach for the function wheel, which is much closer. The image quality in both JPEG & RAW format is excellent . I have almost stopped using my DSLR (Another Canon XTi) which always was a hassle to carry with all the accessories plus the problem of missed shots. "

    "i just got this as a present. been using for a few weeks and absolutely love it so far. i\'ve done a lot of photography with SLR\'s over the years, and wanted a tiny, inconspicuous point and shoot, that i can have around at all times. this seems to be it. shooting at F2.0 on manual, with IS, means you almost never need flash. incredible!

    "I\'ll make this short since the camera has already been adequately reviewed and all it\'s virtues exposed. Typical of Canon...they build this wonderful little camera and then give it a wrist strap without a cinching device so it can easily slip off your wrist. The wrist strap itself is very sturdy, but it\'s just missing a small cinching piece to make the loop smaller while it\'s on your wrist. Here\'s the easy fix I came up with: Go to your local Lowe\'s or Home Depot and in the plumbing department they sell a clear plastic tubing (on a bulk roll) with an inner diameter of 1/4\" (20 cents/ft.). Buy a small piece of this and cut off about a quarter of an inch, then feed the cloth end of the strap through this and it works absolutely great...and looks good, too! "

    "This camera works well for natural light photos. I like that it fits in my pocket, is very light, and I can carry it around easily. I feel the picture quality is as good as we can get in these small cameras with our current techology. At any rate, it definitely meets my quality expectations. The down side: I don\'t like the control dial on the back that requires too much attention to recheck that it hasn\'t moved accidentally. The motorized pop up flash is an annoying gimmick. The menus and function menu Canon has used for so many years are nice but navigating with the tiny S90 controls is a nuisance. I can operate the Panasonic LX3 more easily. The S90 focuses noticeably faster than the LX3. The S90 auto white balance is superior. I feel the S90 is well built. If the S90 did not have the positive attributes I\'ve cited, I\'d send it back. As it stands it is a good camera on its own merits and many of its annoyances can be overcome with practice and experience. "

    "I\'m not one to belabor camera specs that already appear in a manufacturer\'s description, so this will be short and sweet. I have 33 years of professional photography experience, and am floored by the image quality (IQ) of this little camera! I immediately captured over 300 photos with it after I unpacked it, all indoor without flash, and was amazed at the little-to-no noise appearance in my images, many of them taken at a music concert. The build of the camera is not flimsy or plasticky, as aluded to in another review. I find it to be solidly built, and now call it \"my little derringer\", that will go with me anywhere more easily than my Canon 40D. If you want to ascend above the ordinary in a P&S camera, and can afford to do so, then go for it. It\'s well worth it! "
