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?

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.

I tested the camera when it arrived and when working in manual mode with a high ISO (1600 and up) there was a prominent red line that ran vertical through the entire image. Sent it back for a refund and I’ll be looking for a non Canon camera for my next purchase.

For the price of this camera, it is TERRIBLE in auto mode. I never know what to expect from it as it will take a complete blurry picture one minute and be great the next. It is terrible with motion and the only time I get a really good picture is outside with natural lighting. The flash is terrible and doesn’t come up automatically in situations when it is obviously needed. I HATE this camera!

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.
