Good, but not great - and fragile
from cruz3 on Monday, September 20, 2010
2.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Speedy, better low light performance.
 Cons:
 Low value, fragile, and zero warranty support.
Bottom Line: I'm going to just say no - the bang for the buck isn't there, especially when it breaks so easily.
Review: Consider this a teaser review because the camera only lasted 5 days before suffering some sort of fr...

from stephenlac on Monday, January 11, 2010
4.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Image quality, Small size, fully manual control functions, good dynamic range, f2.0
 Cons:
 Slow continuous shooting, easily moved controls, shutter lag, no grip, no optical viewfinder.

The pocket-sized DSLR
from thegsrguy on Thursday, November 05, 2009

 Pros:
 Sturdy, pocket-sized, very accurate photos, firm buttons/controls, standard Canon menus
 Cons:
 Motorized flash, clumsy control ring, so-so battery life
Bottom Line: Pricey, but expect very good photos -- as in SLR-quality.

I Am Impressed!
from kfor on Saturday, October 17, 2009
4.0 / 5.0
 Pros:
 Two control rings; CCD sensor; and more settings than you know what to do with.
 Cons:
 Just a bit small for my hands; too many choices.
Bottom Line: If you're an advanced enthusiast, get it. The superior controls is impressive! It might be overwhelming for a beginner.
Review: I first read about the S90 on Ken Rockwell's site. I mulled about it for a while because despi...
