Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot S90 10MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3-inch LCD
Customer Review: A Few Solutions
Summary: 4 Stars
The Canon S90 is an outstanding compact camera that produces excellent photos for a camera in this class. Novice users can just set it on "Auto" and shoot away to end up with great results. If you're a more advanced user there are a variety of controls that allow you to customize the way the camera operates. However, it does have a few deficiencies.
(Note: use Google to locate the items mentioned in the "fixes" below.)
1. The most serious deficiency is a very loose rear control dial that can accidentally be rotated without noticing it. Use Google to search for "S90 loose dial" to find a simple do-it-yourself solution. Lensmate markets a different type of simple fix.
2. The camera is small and has a slick finish. Richard Franiec markets a small custom grip that attaches to the camera to make it easier to hold.
3. The included wrist strap has no way to "lock" it to your wrist. Gordy's Camera Straps markets a "custom" wrist strap that does have a simple "locking" mechanism. If you prefer a neck lanyard, Photosolve markets a nice one as does Gordy's Camera Straps.
4. The Users Manual can be reasonably daunting for the novice user. It is complete and has a decent Table of Contents, but the Index is terrible. It's often very difficult to fins something that you're looking for. A good alternative is "A Short Course in Canon PowerShot S90 Photography" by Dennis P Curtin. It's available as a spiral-bound black and white version from Amazon. It can also be downloaded as a color version in .pdf format.

Description of Canon PowerShot S90 10MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3-inch LCD
The pocketable PowerShot S90 gives powerful everyday shooting. Shoot quickly with a lens control ring and get superior low-light performance with a high-sensitivity 10.0 MP CCD and f/2.0 lens. A high-sensitivity CCD sensor gives outstanding image quality in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Even images taken at high ISOs show exceptionally low noise levels and a wide dynamic range. A bright f/2.0 aperture allows exceptional versatility, capturing low-light images and fast-moving subjects at higher shutter speeds. A wide angle of 28mm lets you put more in the frame, while Canon's optical IS reduces blur caused by camera shake.
