As far as compact cameras go, Canon’s PowerShot S90 is simply amazing. The small size and light weight could trick you into thinking it’s just a simple point-and-shoot camera, but you really couldn’t be further from the truth. The PowerShot S90 packs a whole host of features that make taking quality photos a total breeze.

One of the best things about the PowerShot S90 is its improved low-lighting imaging. This makes it much easier to take great photos in dark settings. There is also a customizable control ring for easy access and operation of manual or other creative shooting settings, taking this camera far above the the simple “point and shoot” category. Another great feature which gives extra professional-style control is the use of the RAW file type, which allows for greater control over image post-processing on the computer.

Here’s what a previous customer says about the PowerShot S90:

New King of Compacts

  

The first thing I wanted to test was image quality and noise at high ISO settings. Most photography hobbyists and pros know that low light performance is the number one factor influencing camera and lens prices. This is the main reason an f/2.8 zoom lens costs 3-5 times as much as an f/3.5-5.6 zoom. The S90 performs superbly in this regard. RAW images from the S90 set at ISO 800 were equal to or better than RAW images from the G10 set at ISO400. Both luminance and chrominance noise were lower in the S90 images. This represents a 1 stop improvement, which is what I was hoping for. These comparisons were made with all noise reduction disabled in camera and in the DPP software. I tested all other ISOs and found the S90 to be better at all ISO settings above 100 and the 2 cameras demonstrated equal IQ at the base ISOs of 80 and 100.

I highly recommend this camera.
