Canon S90 Powershot review

If you are interested in seeing pictures from this camera I will be posting them at this link:
http://fakeconomy.com/2009/10/canon-powershot-s90-review/

I just got the Canon S90 PowerShot and I wanted to show you the camera since there hasn't been a lot of in-depth videos posted about the features.

The S90 is basically a scaled down version of the G11 Canon's - an Elph with full manual controls. The camera is built almost completely out of metal and has a sturdy build quality to it. The front of the camera has a manual control dial which can be fully customized to control anything from apeture to exposure compensation.

The LCD is pretty impressive too, fairly wide for a camera with excellent resolutions, the camera also has image stabilization and a f2.0 lens with a 28mm-105mm focal range.

I'd just like to say how wonderfully informative and well presented your 4 short videos are. Thank you.

If you are not making some kind of living in the presenting or teaching arena then you should be.

Well done. Excellent.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment.

Would you consider doing some YouTube classes on this camera? You're great at explaining.

@CarlyUTube

I was thinking about doing something like this but I have not had much time. I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the basics of photography, which will help you take pictures with anything.

One of the best resources I've found is Ken Rockwell (google him). Definitely if I get some time it might be interesting to do a few tutorial videos.

Hey great review dude very informative! I have a question though with the canon s90 can you shoot in RAW+JPEG at once??

[bcsarmaa]

@FatalShot808

Yes this shoots JPEG+RAW.

Hey, just a tip, try and not say "um" so much..

[kenhes]

Why is the video flipped?

[pterodaniel]

why is it that when i am in nostalgic mode, every time i "turn the wheel to control age effect" it skips to the to stitch assist mode or color swap? i must be dumb i cant figure it out. i've seen some cool pictures in black and white that look old but my nostalgic mode always comes out normal color....

UMMMMMMMMMM

[MustNotRead]

hehe, i like how you say you got a "copy of the camera". mass fabrication of consumer goods ftw!

i just received my copy of the updated s95 model, it's great.

[professor88p]

Great review. Best one i've seen.

[kamikazeOS]

I skipped 3 times in the video...and 3 times it landed on "Umm" =))

Local Best Buy selling s90 for $199.99 if you wanna save some money...

That actually depends on the social network. For instance with flickr, yes it will maintain quality because they focus on sharing photographs. However some social networks will either force you to only submit content that is below a certain size (lets say less than 4 MB) or they may have software on their side which degrades the image. The reason is it takes a lot of their server bandwith to store/display images.
