Canon Powershot S90

Finally i got myself a brand new compact digital camera that has some functionalities of a DSLR (i said SOME). I hereby present you my brand new Canon Powershot S90, the new compact Powershot frm dear Canon.

What excites me, i would said it is a Canon compact that always give me a better White Balance than the others brand compact (not all of course but better than some that i toy before), finally a Manual Focus compact, yes I know Powershot G series & LX3 has Manual Focus but I dont really consider them COMPACT.

Size wise is S90 mostly becoz of its lens.

What so special.... like i said earlier compact digital camera with big sensor, although bit smaller than Panny LX3 but i still think Panny LX3 is not compact enough (Fans of Lumix LX3 pls dun flame me ok?). You can put S90 in your shirt's pocket and its feels way more lighter than the other same class compact (LX3, G10, G11,....).

The pop up flash is control by the software and its totally different from the LX3 press and pop up flash

However i will be honest with you ppl, this camera does have some downside that i find it really annoys me. The first one is its mode dial.... this thing is so hard to spin it that you may even break your nail doing so. The IXUS series have a better Mode Dial than this dude. Then is the control dial that allows you to spin with it is too sensitive sometimes it may get in your way when you are holding and focusing your camera.

This part sux... turning it is so damn hard.

Need to becareful tat you dun touch this wheel or your setting will be ruined

Things you need to be aware of are it has no hot-shoe like the LX3 and G-series Powershot, but since it is still a compact camera why would you want so much stuff on it, its all about ease of mobility. If you do find yourself really needing this stuff then go buy the LX3 or G series or maybe a DSLR.

Other things you need to be aware of is the figure prints attraction mechanism with this thing. It just look s dirty with all the finger prints and oil that get attracted to it.

Some important thing that all other brand camera should learn is the good function of the rotation wheel on the camera lens side.

So overall stuff i like about it, compact, light and easily pocketable, easy to learn menu, rotation wheel that can allow you do multiple settings in a spin, can shot RAW + some hight quality JPEG files and lots more that i still dun know yet.
