Canon touts the new S90 as a camera for photographers, a camera I waited for all summer. I purchase one locally the day they became available, and after shooting several hundred images over a week, I took it back to the store. The S90 exhibited some of the worst barrel distortion I’ve seen from any camera, much worse than my SD780IS or my even older SD950IS. To me, the S90 is a camera that does most things pretty well but nothing exceptionally well. Endless Scene Modes and video are not things I find necessary, but virtually every camera in the upper-end point-and-shoot arena offer these “Features” which further serves to make the S90 nothing special. I’m now waiting for the Leica X1, it also is advertised as a camera for photographers. . we’ll see. Rating: 1 / 5
I spent weeks reseaching for the perfect camera, and when I finally picked the s90, I wish I had known about the infamous “lens error” before. The day out of the box, took 5 pictures, next thing I know I try to turn it off and the lens won’t retract, showing a message that said “lens error – restart camera”. I panicked and googled the error, and as it turns out, this error has affected about 10,000 units in the production. Of course I shipped the camera back to Amazon the next day, and will be getting a refund. Needless to say, will never ever ever buy from cannon again – what’s wrong with these people? Rating: 1 / 5
I was very excited when I received this camera. . . well my excitement was short lived. I may have gotten a lemon because the pictures taken with my canon sd990 was a lot clearer, sharper and cleaner. My sd990 would take low light picture at iso 400 and s90 would take it at iso 800. Both were set on Auto. I compared those pictures that were taken at the same iso 800 and the pictures of s90 was blurred and noiser. Some has white patches on it. I have no choice but to return it back. Rating: 1 / 5
I bought this camera because I want something combining both the picture quality of my Olympus C4000 (which has very good pic quality, but pretty bulky )and portability of my Nikon Coolpix L4, and also can shoot good indoor light low pic for items my wife sell on-line. I should say the low-light close up pictures are very impressive, at least compared with the other 2, and with ISO 800, there is not much grains, and the pictures shot with regular 60W floor light looks like being shot under directly sun light, and details and density is pretty impressive with accurate color. however, to my great disappointment, the pros stop there, except that benefit, this sturdily and beautifully built camera (made in japan)with exhaustive features and settings can barely beat Nikon camera (4MP, bought 4 years ago for around $150)in terms of picture quality, especially in the density and feel of space. there is easily detectable flatness and softness in everything in pictures shot under various light conditions leading the pictures to a blurry pixels after zooming in a few times in PC screen. the different density and texture of material is almost non-existent in pics shot by this camera. to me, this $400 so-call point and shoot only next to SLR is a joke considering the value and performance it offers. yes, as to the color accuracy, I can tell that the Nikon camera color is on cool side, while the Canon is on warm side, both of which are within acceptable range, but the picture quality of the latter is much much worse. if you really like the features and craftsmanship of a Japan made camera, and believe will be very happy with slightly better pic quality than that of a good camera cell phone, you may still want to consider this. otherwise, as long as you’re not completely blind to what a good picture should look like, I strongly suggest you stay away from it and try other choices, which, at the price range of $250-400, are available in abundance.

This camera does not do HD videos and in fact the videos out of this camera look no better than what smartphones can do. This is a huge oversight and a camera that costs this much should be able to do HD, something other cameras in this price range and size have been able to do now for over a year. Also, the battery life is quite bad and will typically not even last you through the day of usage. Another negative is this camera exhibits some pretty bad barrel distortion which can be easily seen if you take a straight on picture of a building for example. What’s a bit insipid about this is that the camera’s LCD screen does not show this, it actually corrects the image for display on the screen. But, transfer the picture to your computer and it will look distorted. The only way to fix this correctly currently (as of this review) is to shoot RAW and use Canon’s DPP software. For me, these negatives outweigh any positives given that there is a camera that performs better image-wise, can do HD videos and has longer battery life, the Panasonic LX3 or Leica D-LUX 4 (these two are basically the same camera).
