Best Digital Camera: Canon PowerShot S90

Posted on July 4, 2010 by admin in digital cameras, electronics

Need a compact digital camera? There is simply nothing that compares to this compact Canon PowerShot S90 ($350) digital camera on the market today. It’s perfect for taking those “self-portraits” that are sweeping the Facebook market today. The pictures produced by this camera put my digital SLR from 2008, the Olympus EVOLT E-420, to shame. Highly recommended.

Continuing a trend begun by the Panasonic Lumix LX3, downplaying megapixels in favor of sensor quality, the Canon S90 boasts a DIGIC 4 Image Processor, Smart AUTO scene selection, and 10-Megapixel “High Sensitivity System” that enhances image quality in low-light situations by reducing noise at high ISO speeds.

But it’s the 28mm wide-angle f/2.0 lens boasting a customizable control ring for easy access and operation of manual or other creative shooting settings is what has a lot of people excited. The seemingly innocuous control ring will great simplify operation, a feature that all observers unilaterally praise.
