I have this camera for three weeks, and there are advantages and disadvantages of this device, I think you should read if you are considering buying. I have error that says no, and do not yet appear, hopefully aid in purchasing decisions. I looked up the price Canon PowerShot S90 camera closely and feel is a fair score of 3.5 stars if the price is not a problem, then 4 rating is justified. But if the price, no HD and a poorly designed plastic on the top / bottom of the camera, I think that's true. Front and rear of the back of the metal.
Advantages
Nice F / 2 cup, a Canon PowerShot S90, you can buy at the best price two times more light, the lens is 2.8, helping to make this photograph a lesson in low light.
great balance of 10MP resolution, a large sensor, noise and reduce grain in his pictures. AEB-exposure bracketing and HDR (this feature is not on the field or the Canon Web site, but AEB).
Flash exposure compensation to help prevent a trickle of a nearby strong flare about it.
Customization to help you change the sharpness and saturation, the standard image possible.
How can I mark a series of rings at the front and rear of the unit for easy manual control and adjustment.
Micro Focus to close for the management bokeh excellent topic.
Disadvantages:
F / 2, I buy a Canon PowerShot S90 at the best price with a single setting.
Pure Color LCD II is of poor quality when the images re-view or dark because of blurred pixels ... very frustrating that this problem exists in almost all S90, I notice that about 5-6 cells. Never had this problem with the previous Canon SD, but there are problems with quality control on this issue.
Top / bottom of the chamber is made of plastic, unfortunately, if your finger on the top of the camera, plastic (crunches price Canon PowerShot S90 and clicks) when the pressure to hold the Canon camera is used. .... Re PowerShot S90 Price ally disappointing. It is also a problem for 5-6 cameras I have a question of quality of the Canon is trying to be taken into account.
Battery south wall, you probably need 2-3 batteries take all day.
Ring dial on the back of the unit is too loose, because even a shirt sleeve can change the settings by mistake, if we are not careful and too much spin sometimes choose settings for some time: 3-4 obtain a change of parameters.
No HD video, what a shame such a Nice F / 2 glass is specially designed for this price range.
Very annoying problem with pop-up flash is ideally placed where you place your finger of his left hand on top of the camera you patience for Canon PowerShot S90 The NRA costs need to hold the camera properly, without blocking the flash.
The heavy barrel distortion at wide angle settings with RAW, you must use the software for the Canon, JPEG, correct.
The tape that comes with the S90 does not lock the wrist, as in the case of the prices of Canon PowerShot SD line S90, so that the device does not slip when the wrist was hanging. Luggage slightly to the side so hard to get to a belt with a device like the bracelet, it comes in long, free, and wrist falling prices and large hands and I was surprised when he almost slipped few times, so I bought a bracelet with lock, wrist, and costs. The last thing you want this camera because it is not amended to give a fall from above and below, are made of thin plastic.
I would like to ha seen Canon PowerShot S90 24mm or 26mm wide angle lens costs in this price range, because there is not HD, but what can you do.
I hope this information helps, because the same questions for me "and" Canon PowerShot S90 will be a price disadvantage. This is probably the best HP camera is there at the moment and the Panasonic comes LX4 next year, but who knows best what will happen, and how much it will cost and what will be the availability. When is S90 for the best price, and I hope you get one that did not work, then you have a dark wash really good buy and should be satisfied with your purchase.
Cheers.
